For three years, illegal constructions on the lake's land prevented the AMC from proceeding with its Rs 8-10 crore development plan. Legal committee chairman Prakash Gurjar said, "There were 40 illegal commercial constructions on the lake, and 24 petitions were filed in the Gujarat high court. The court dismissed it all, and we issued a letter ordering the demolition of these illegal 40 commercial constructions starting Thursday.
"
The AMC's legal department presented detailed reports, including measurements of the lake's land and roads from DILAR, proving the encroachments were indeed on lake land. Following the HC's dismissal of the petitions, the estate department received instructions to commence demolition from Thursday. The AMC has also proactively ordered the filing of a caveat in the HC. With these illegal structures removed, the Bader Lake development project can now finally proceed.

Dial-up to DPI in 30 years: An Indian odyssey
India's transformation from a low‐density fixed telephony by the state monopoly in the 1990s to one of the world's largest and most dynamic mobile‐Internet ecosystems has been underpinned by infrastructure roll‐out, entrepreneurial zeal and rapid consumer adoption - shaped by visionary policies and innovative regulations, even if at times in response to a crisis. August 15, 1995 saw the launch of Internet services across six metros, days after the first mobile call in Kolkata on July 31. The rollercoaster experience over the past three decades offers useful cues and clues in the quest for Viksit Bharat by 2047. Monopoly to Market The National Telecom Policy, 1994 broke government's monopoly, promised a telephone in every village by 1997 and invited private investment. The handset cost Rs. 40,000, a one-minute mobile call was Rs. 16.40 for outgoing and Rs. 8.20 for incoming. Department of Telecommunications ( DoT ) was the policymaker and licensor, operator and regulator – all rolled into one. Though Telecom Regulatory Authority of India ( TRAI ) was established in 1997, the private operators were gasping for breath by 1998 - defaulting both in network rollout and payment of license fees. March 1999 saw two significant developments – TRAI rationalised tariffs – upto 94% reduction, and the New Telecom Policy allowed migration to revenue-sharing model from fixed license fees, formalised 'Universal Service Obligation'. In 2003, TRAI put an end to the incoming call charges on mobile, leading to rapid adoption – thanks to other enablers - enhanced competition and bundling of devices. Internet, Broadband and Beyond November 1998 saw ISP licenses for one rupee per annum – blacklisting only Internet telephony in contrast to a short whitelist earlier including Archie and Veroinca! International bandwidth was augmented with multiple submarine cables. Internet telephony, albeit with restrictions, was also allowed in 2002. Established in 2003, National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) began online registration of '.in' domain names. While the ambitious targets for 2010 in the Broadband Policy, 2004, remained unfulfilled, growth was fuelled by 3G and 4G, following the spectrum auctions in 2010 and later. National Plans and Policies Galore In 2006, National e-Governance Action Plan proposed about 30 Mission Mode digitization projects– including Ministry of Corporate Affairs and passport. Digital India Programme , launched in 2015, expanded the scope further. Out of 2.65 lakh Gram Panchayats, 2.15 lakh have already been connected by Bharat Net. However, less than 3.5 lakh public Wi-Fi hotspots against the target of one crore under the National Digital Communications Policy (NDCP), 2018 could be due to wide availability and highly affordable tariffs for mobile data on 4G as well as 5G networks. Legacy and Legislation Recognizing 'convergence of both markets and technologies across telecom, IT, consumer electronics and media', NTP 1999 had underlined the need for a forward-looking law to replace the archaic laws of 1885 and 1933 vintage. After almost quarter century, The Telecommunications Act, 2023 did so even as its scope remained narrower than the Convergence Communications Bill, 2001 ,which had lapsed in 2004. It is noteworthy, however, that Right of Way remained one of the common motivations in 2023 just like it was in 1885. Though originally contemplated to support fixed line only, USO Fund scope was expanded to include mobile and Internet in 2006 even it remains overtly focused on supply-side interventions and underutilized with Rs. 80,000 crore in its corpus. Spectrum Management & Auctions Initially bundled with licenses, spectrum auction has become the norm, following the 2012 Supreme Court ruling. However, many chunks of spectrum remain unbid, while others are sold at reserved prices, indicating scope for significant improvement. In addition, there is demand for de-licensed additional bands for new versions of Wi-Fi and other applications. Aadhaar enrolment of 1.4 billion, more than half of global real-time digital payments on UPI, digital vaccination certificates on CoWin – these DPIs were impossible without robust telecom network. While India quickly adopted remote working – including Work From Home, telemedicine and distance education, the pandemic also highlighted the acute challenges faced by the unconnected ones – amplified further on account of disparities across gender, geography and generation. Carriage, Content and Conduct Telecom was for carriage of content – telegraphic messages to telephonic voice. However, the Internet – and, more importantly, the world wide web – enabled creation and collation, curation and circulation of content en masse. However, the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting and the Ministry of Electronics & IT oversee regulation - implying overlaps and gaps. On the other hand, conduct is becoming more important – whether it is cybersecurity or data protection, competition or sustainability. India's tryst with mobile and Internet is a testament to bold policy and enabling regulations, technological advances and innovative business models. To drive the next wave of inclusive growth, the forthcoming policy should embrace convergence and restructure institutional architecture to corral and align 'All for Broadband', not just 'Broadband for All'.

50% tariff to affect thousands of gem and jewellery jobs
Surat: In 'extraordinarily challenging times', the Indian gem and jewellery industry is staring at an unprecedented crisis after the US's announcement of a 50% tariff on Indian goods. The 25% tariff had already come into force on Indian exports to the US. Chairman of the Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC), Kirit Bhansali, called the development deeply concerning and warned that it could have devastating consequences across India's economy, especially for the country's second-largest export sector. The US is India's largest export market for gems and jewellery, accounting for over $10 billion annually — nearly 30% of the industry's total business. The cut and polished diamond segment alone sees half its exports going to the US. The cut and polished diamond industry employs 12 lakh workers, with nine of every 10 diamonds in the world being polished in Surat. The diamond and jewellery cluster at SEEPZ SEZ in Mumbai, a major production hub employing 50,000 people, sends 85% of its output to the US. With the 50% tariff, experts fear the industry could be brought to a standstill, with ripple effects felt from diamond artisans and jewellery workers to major manufacturers. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 15 Most Beautiful Female Athletes in the World Click Here Undo Adding to the industry's concern is the competitive disadvantage posed by lower tariffs on countries such as Turkey, Vietnam and Thailand, which enjoy tariffs of 15-20%. "This imbalance, if unaddressed, could erode India's long-standing position as a key supplier to the US. We are also concerned about the possibility of trade re-routing through low-tariff countries such as Mexico, Canada, Turkey, UAE or Oman, undermining legitimate trade and affecting transparency," said Bhansali. The domestic market is a ray of hope, as the recently concluded IIJS Premiere 2025 jewellery fair recorded projected business worth Rs 70,000 crore, underlining the sector's resilience. With India's domestic jewellery market valued at $85 billion and expected to grow to $130 billion in two years, internal demand may help cushion the blow. GJEPC has urged the govt to implement immediate relief measures. These include introducing a targeted duty drawback scheme to cover 25-50% of the new US tariff impact, financial support for market diversification, pre-shipment finance extensions, reintroduction of the interest equalization scheme and temporary deferment of interest on working capital loans. Additionally, GJEPC also wants permission for SEZ units to engage in reverse jobwork and domestic tariff area (DTA) sales to manage order cancellations and prevent layoffs. The council also requested regulatory leniency to protect credit ratings considering business disruptions. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Why additional Trump tariffs will be a big pain point for India
The big escalation in tariffs announced by US president Donald Trump on imports from India has rattled the country's bourses and sent exporters in a huddle, with analysts estimating that the move will have a sizeable impact on India's growth in the short since the announcement is being seen by many as a new negotiating tactic by Washington, there is expectation that some common ground would be reached by the two countries before the new 'penalty' kicks in less than three weeks from issuing a series of threats, Trump signed an executive order on August 7, imposing an additional 25 per cent 'ad valorem' duty on Indian imports to the US, taking the total tariffs levied by the US on Indian goods to 50 per cent. The additional duty is a 'penalty' for India's high dependence for crude oil on Russia, which is engaged in a war with Ukraine, whom the US supports through armaments, since February Trump had announced a 25 per cent 'reciprocal tariff' on India, which kicks in on August 7, purportedly to narrow the big trade deficit the US has with India. The new additional levy of 25 per cent would come into effect on August 25, the order said. In FY24, India exported $77.5 billion (Rs 6.79 lakh crore) worth of merchandise goods to the US and imported $42.2 billion (Rs 3.7 lakh crore) worth of goods from it, giving India a $35.3 billion (Rs 3.09 lakh crore) trade the Indian industry was expecting that even the 25 per cent reciprocal tariff would be watered down by the US as part of a bilateral trade agreement both countries are currently working on, the additional tariff came as a big blow and has created a lot more uncertainty among exporters.A research note from Goldman Sachs said it expected the total effective tariff on Indian imports would be around 32 per cent after all exemptions. In response to the US announcement, India's ministry of external affairs has said that the Indian government 'will take all actions necessary to protect its national interests', signalling an unwillingness to bow down to the pressure from has always maintained that its crude oil imports from Russia were in its 'national interest'. Russia, which had been in the eye of a geopolitical storm since 2022, survived the financial sanctions imposed by the US on it and has emerged as a major supplier of oil to two of the largest economies—China and China, which buys more oil from Russia than India and was earlier engaged in an intense tariff war with the US, has to pay a tariff lower than what was imposed on India—at 30 per had been able to supply crude to India at discounted rates at a time when crude prices were high. Therefore, it is no surprise that India, which imports 80 per cent of its crude oil requirements, bought as much as 35.8 per cent of its crude from Russia in FY25. The other major suppliers were Iraq (19.9 per cent), Saudi Arabia (13.6 per cent), the UAE (9 per cent) and the US (4.3 per cent).Trump's posturing had indeed been making India buy more oil from the US. Or so it seemed. In April and May 2025, the US accounted for 8 per cent (on average) of India's crude oil imports. In FY25, India's import bill for oil reached $143 billion (Rs 12.5 lakh crore), with crude oil imports of 244 million tonnes, at an average price of $586 (around Rs 51,500) per Trump tariffs will have an impact on economic growth. Goldman Sachs had earlier estimated that the 25 per cent tariff would have a potential direct impact of around 0.3 per cent on India's real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on an annualised basis. If the US goes ahead with the additional 25 per cent penalty, the overall impact on the GDP would be 0.6 per cent, it estimates. 'This estimate is based on India's goods exports exposure of roughly 4 per cent of GDP to US final demand and a goods export demand elasticity of nearly 0.5,' it said in a research expected, the additional tariffs have shaken the Indian stock markets. The BSE Sensex fell 527 points during intra-day trade on August 7 while the NSE Nifty fell by 170 points. 'Continued FIIs (foreign institutional investors) selling, coupled with escalating US-India trade tensions, is expected to weigh on market sentiment. The increased tariffs are likely to adversely impact major export-oriented sectors such as textiles, leather, gems and jewellery, auto components, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and steel,' said a research note from Motilal Oswal Financial to India Today Magazine- EndsTune InMust Watch
