Crucial Sanjeevaiah Park RoB to materialise soon
HYDERABAD: The crucial RoB between Sanjeevaiah Park and Patigadda, connecting Necklace Road and SP Road in Secunderabad, is set to materialise soon, with GHMC and SCR agreeing to prioritise the works. Proposed as an alternative to Begumpet Road and Ranigunj X Roads, this link between Hyderabad and Secunderabad is expected to significantly ease traffic congestion. GHMC Commissioner RV Karnan told TNIE that tenders for the RoB, estimated to cost Rs 80 crore, would be floated soon as both GHMC and SCR agreed to take up the construction as a priority. The RoB is designed as a four-lane, 7.50-metre dual carriageway with a central median and footpaths on either side, spanning 600–700 meters. Over a decade ago, a similar RoB proposal costing Rs 28 crore hit a roadblock as HMDA and GHMC failed to release their 50% share (Rs 14 crore).

India fastest growing major economy, Trump's perception of 'dead economy' misplaced: Analysts
ANI India fastest growing major economy With leading international agencies, including IMF, continuing to project India as the fastest-growing major economy in the world, analysts said that US President Donald Trump's description of India as a "dead economy" is "misplaced". India continues to be a hot-bed for foreign investment with several international giants looking at the country for setting up manufacturing base to Global Capability Centres (GCCs). Also, Indian talent is most sought after particularly in the tech sector and has been a major exporter of services to countries, including the US. A day after announcing 25 per cent tariffs on India, plus a 'penalty' for its trade with Russia, Trump in a social media post on Thursday said, "I don't care what India does with Russia. They can take their dead economies down together, for all I care." Consultancy firm EY India described Trump's comments against India as "quite misplaced" and said, in fact, the centre of gravity of the world economy is slowly shifting to the Global South for which India has placed itself in a leading role. "On the other hand, the erstwhile developed economies are ageing fast and it is largely the contribution that Indian diaspora makes in these economies that they continue to show some positive growth," EY India Chief Policy Advisor DK Srivastava told PTI. Incidentally, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in its assessment of the Indian economy in February 2025 had commended "the authorities' prudent macroeconomic policies and reforms, which have contributed to making India's economy resilient and once again the fastest growing major economy". IMF had also said India's strong economic performance provides an opportunity to advance critical and challenging structural reforms to realise its ambition of becoming an advanced economy by 2047. EY's Srivastava further said the Indian economy is the most lively and dynamic in the world with its population among the youngest. As per the UN Population Statistics (2024), the median age of India's population is 28.8 years whereas that of the US is 38.5 and that of Europe is 42.8 years. "It is these advanced economies that have become aged both in terms of median age and in terms of growth prospects. Furthermore, India is also blessed with abundant human resources that are technologically skilled and making significant contributions to the futuristic fields of space, AI, and Gen-AI," Srivastava said. According to the IMF's latest World Economic Outlook Update report, India is poised to grow at 6.4 per cent in 2025 as well as 2026. This is also an upward revision from IMF's April forecast of 6.2 and 6.3 per cent, respectively. Similar projections have been made by other international agencies like Washington-headquartered World Bank, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and Paris-based Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). While the World Bank and OECD have projected India's GDP growth at 6.3 per cent for FY26, ADB estimates it at 6.5 per cent.
