Mango flyover to get 2 lanes, service road
Jamshedpur
: The upcoming
Mango flyover
in the city will now have a
two-lane road
and service roads on its flanks to facilitate the movement of local motorists.
As per the previous design, a single lane was proposed from Mango roundabout to Payal Cinema. Now, there will be a two-lane road on the stretch, officials said on Saturday.
The construction work for the 2.8 km long flyover project began in September last year. A total of Rs 461 crore is to be spent for the project. Officials claimed that the project will be ready early 2026.
The proposed changes to the design came to light after senior officials of the state road construction department and the construction company inspected the project on Saturday along with Jamshedpur (West) MLA Saryu Roy. "Changes were made to the design based on the demands of locals, who said a single lane will not be useful," he said.
The proposed single lane would have convenience motorists coming in from Sakchi. However, the new design will make way for the movement of vehicles coming approaching from Payal Cinema end. A roundabout will also be built near the theatre alongside a parking lot under the flyover.
"Forest land near Payal Cinema will have to be acquired for the implementation of the revised design," Deepak Sahay, executive engineer of the RCD, said.

'Quick commerce market to triple to Rs 1.7L crore in 2 yrs'
BENGALURU: India's quick commerce market is set to triple in size by 2027, reaching Rs 1.5-1.7 lakh crore. However, the segment's rapid growth is exposing structural cracks in pricing, workforce stability, and profitability, a report by consulting firm Kearney said. The report, published on Thursday, showed that while quick commerce expanded beyond impulse buys to staples like rice, atta, and edible oil, most of the demand is not new. Nearly 93% of sales come at the expense of modern trade, e-commerce, and kirana outlets. Just 6-8% is incremental. Meanwhile, platform discounts average 6-9%, lower than e-commerce and modern trade players, which offer 13-18% off. Once delivery and handling fees are factored in, quick commerce becomes price-competitive only when compared to kiranas. Despite its popularity in top metros and tier-2 cities, adoption remains uneven across product categories. While snacks, cold beverages, and gifting items saw strong traction, categories like fruits, vegetables, electronics, and personal care continue to see low migration, with consumers preferring in-store purchases or wider selections available on other channels. Quick commerce's most significant impact is in employment generation, but with trade-offs. It creates about 62-64 jobs per Rs 1 crore of monthly gross merchandise value, on par with general trade and higher than ecommerce (25-29) or modern trade (41-42). However, over 70% of these roles are last-mile delivery jobs, typically filled by gig workers with limited job security. Kearney expects a 60% surge in gig hiring in 2025 as platforms expand.

UP to hold roadshow in Ahmedabad to boost pharma sector investment
Lucknow: The Yogi government, in collaboration with the UP State Industries Development Authority and Confederation of Indian Industry, is set to host a roadshow in Ahmedabad on Friday to showcase opportunities in the pharmaceutical sector. An official spokesperson stated that the pharma sector is a key catalyst towards achieving the one trillion-dollar economy goal. Senior officials, including Mayur Maheshwari, CEO of UPSIDA, and Awanish Kumar Awasthi, advisor to the CM, are likely to address the business community in the Gujarat capital. The state govt is actively promoting the sector through initiatives like the creation of mega drug parks and the establishment of dedicated institutions for pharma research and innovation. These efforts are built on the existing base, which includes the presence of the Central Drug Research Institute lab and a large number of pharmaceutical units, particularly in the formulation sector, located in districts like Ghaziabad, Lucknow, and Kanpur. Additionally, the state has a robust network of pharma educational institutes. "The govt is actively fostering innovation and entrepreneurship in the pharmaceutical sector through the establishment of incubation centres and 'Promote Pharma', a dedicated institution for pharma research and innovation," said a govt officer. An assessment by Invest UP shows that the pharmaceutical sector attracted nearly Rs 2,845 crore in investment and generated over 70,000 jobs in three years. "Over the past three years, the state attracted investments worth approximately Rs 2,845 crore in the pharmaceutical sector via the single window portal. This includes investments in manufacturing units, blood centres, and drug retail establishments," the officer stated. Between 2022–23 and 2024–25, around 167 manufacturing units were set up, creating about 3,340 jobs. In the same period, 195 blood centres and 32,475 medicine retail outlets were also established, creating approximately 1,365 and 64,995 jobs, respectively. The Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Policy, 2023 has further strengthened investor confidence. The policy offers several incentives, including a stamp duty exemption of Rs 3.89 crore, encouraging new investments and the expansion of existing businesses. This has led to a spike in both manufacturing facilities and retail operations within the state. The list of investment opportunities also includes the development of the Lalitpur Bulk Drug Park, which is progressing significantly.
