Mahindra adds Dolby Atmos to Thar ROXX, elevates audio experience
The Thar ROXX AX7L comes with Gaana integrated into the infotainment system, making it easy to find and play your favourite music. To give you a quick recap, the Thar ROXX also features a premium 9-speaker Harman Kardon-branded audio system in addition to Dolby Atmos support.
Whether you are driving through the city streets or finding your way on challenging off-road trails, Mahindra says Dolby Atmos will allow the 'sound to move freely around you with unmatched depth and realism.' According to Financial Express, Mahindra sold 10,703 Thars earlier this year in April, noting a 74 per cent growth year on year.
'We are excited about the possibilities that our collaboration with Mahindra can bring for customers, especially in India. With Dolby Atmos in Thar ROXX AX7L, we're taking the car journey to an entirely new level by transforming the interior cabin into a personalised concert hall on wheels, making every ride an immersive audio experience that complements the adventurous spirit of the Thar ROXX AX7L'', said Karan Grover, Senior Director of Commercial Partnerships at IMEA, Dolby Labratories.
While the petrol version of the Thar ROXX only supports automatic transmission, the diesel version comes with both manual and automatic transmission. The petrol version of the vehicle is powered by a 2-litre engine that outputs 174 bhp and 380 Nm of torque. The petrol version of Thar ROXX AX7L starts from Rs 20.69 lakh, while the diesel variant starts from Rs 19.79 lakh. Keep in mind that these are ex-showroom prices, so the on-road price will be a bit higher.

City in pole position for CWG with eye on 2036 Olympics
Ahmedabad: Eight years after earning the Unesco tag as India's first World Heritage City, Ahmedabad is chasing another global title — host of the 2030 Commonwealth Games (CWG). On Wednesday, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), at its Special General Meeting, placed the city among the top contenders — a move widely seen as a dress rehearsal for the bigger prize: the 2036 Olympics. Ahmedabad's bid is anchored by the Rs 6,000-crore Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Sports Enclave — a 236-acre, Olympic-grade complex being developed through a state–AUDA public-private partnership. Scheduled for completion in 2029, it will feature the Narendra Modi Stadium (the world's largest cricket venue), a 50,000-seat football stadium, an 18,000-seat indoor arena, a 12,000-seat aquatics centre, an athletes' village, plus hotels and commercial hubs. Supporting facilities include the Naranpura Sports Complex and a network of mini-sports centres across city zones, with Rs 125 crore earmarked for grassroots infrastructure in Naroda, Ghuma, and beyond. A senior sports department official said Gujarat had conveyed its CWG intent to Chris Jenkins OBE, then president of Commonwealth Sport, during his Jan 2025 visit — a proposal later backed by the union ministry of youth affairs and sports. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, play this game for 1 minute Navy Quest Undo You Can Also Check: Ahmedabad AQI | Weather in Ahmedabad | Bank Holidays in Ahmedabad | Public Holidays in Ahmedabad | Gold Rates Today in Ahmedabad | Silver Rates Today in Ahmedabad Infrastructure upgrades are keeping pace with the bid. The Rs 3,130-crore integrated terminal at Sardar Vallabhbhai International (SVPI) Airport — set to double passenger capacity before 2030 — aligns with CWG and Olympic timelines. Metro extensions, BRTS upgrades, and a multi-modal transport hub are also planned. The hospitality sector is expanding rapidly. The Sabarmati Riverfront Development Corporation Ltd (SRFDCL) has cleared a 17-storey hotel and a Rs 792.5 crore Convention, Cultural and Business Centre near Paldi, while global hotel brands are increasing their presence along Sindhu Bhavan Road and in GIFT City. The city's confidence draws on its record of hosting marquee events — from the ICC World Cup final to Vibrant Gujarat Summits and the sold-out Coldplay concert in Jan 2025. Gujarat is also eyeing the 2027 Women's Volleyball World Championship and the World Military Games to further burnish its credentials. Officials said the plan is to stage a "full-fledged Games" featuring medal-rich sports like shooting, wrestling, and badminton, alongside indigenous disciplines such as kabaddi and kho kho. Ahmedabad's CWG blueprint takes cues from Birmingham 2022's cost-effective delivery and Euro 70-million local reinvestment, including a jobs and skills academy that trained over 20,000 people. The city's version will be guided by an Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) impact study to ensure transparency and sustainability. Commissioned by the Gujarat Sports Infrastructure Development Company (GSIDC Ltd), and to be conducted over the next six months, the studies aim to evaluate the potential impacts on Ahmedabad and Gujarat, ensuring alignment with global sustainability standards. The studies will focus on identifying and standardizing relevant environmental metrics, design of a stakeholder engagement framework for environmental assessment, and assessment of carbon emissions associated with the Games.

CSMT overhaul delays Thane, Kalyan revamp
Mumbai: The Railway Land Development Authority (RLDA) has decided to defer the redevelopment of Thane and Kalyan railway stations until at least half the work on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) is completed -- a milestone likely to be reached only next year. At present, only about 15% progress has been made on the Rs 2,450-crore CSMT overhaul. Officials said that once work at CSMT gathers pace, it will require blocks at the busy terminus, leading to cancellation or relocation of several long-distance train services. Starting parallel redevelopment at Thane and Kalyan, they said, would mean additional blocks on the main line, impacting both suburban and mail/express services. "If too many timetable changes are introduced at the same time, it will trigger large-scale resentment among passengers," a railway source said. You Can Also Check: Mumbai AQI | Weather in Mumbai | Bank Holidays in Mumbai | Public Holidays in Mumbai | Gold Rates Today in Mumbai | Silver Rates Today in Mumbai A senior Central Railway official explained the rationale: "We expect 50-60% progress on CSMT's redevelopment before we take up Thane and Kalyan. That will give us breathing space at the terminus and the confidence to manage work at the other two stations." The RLDA, in coordination with Thane Smart City Limited, is planning a multi-modal transit hub at Thane. The east side of the station is to house an 11-storey commercial complex with a basement. Spread over 1.1 lakh sqm, Thane handles both suburban and long-distance trains on the main and trans-harbour lines, serving over 6.5 lakh passengers daily with more than 1,000 train services across its 10 platforms. The revamp aims to decongest the station, improve east-west connectivity, and enhance passenger safety and convenience. Plans include faster dispersal through 20 lifts, 17 escalators and three travelators, alongside full utilisation of floor space index (FSI) for commercial use. For Kalyan, the RLDA is finalising a master plan, with the project likely to be taken up through a public-private partnership. Officials said both stations are crucial nodes in Mumbai's rail network, and simultaneous construction at all three -- CSMT, Thane and Kalyan -- would cause an operational logjam, hence the staggered approach.

Yashobhoomi convention centre in Delhi's Dwarka wins International Architecture Award 2024
New Delhi It was inaugurated in September 2023 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. (HT Archive) The Yashobhoomi Convention and Exhibition Centre in Dwarka, southwest Delhi, has won the International Architecture Award 2024 under the 'Civic Centre' category, which will be presented next month at the historic Acropolis in Athens, Greece, a globally recognised landmark in architecture. The prize is awarded by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design, and The European Centre for Architecture Art, Design and Urban Studies. Dikshu C Kukreja, managing principal of CP Kukreja Architects, which designed the centre, said: 'Yashobhoomi embodies Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of positioning India as a leading global hub.' Designed in collaboration with IDOM (Spain), Yashobhoomi spans 225 acres and has a built-up area of 2.2 million square feet. It was inaugurated in September 2023 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The venue, built at a cost of ₹5,400 crore, features multiple exhibition halls, auditoriums and conference rooms to host trade and diplomatic events. Kukreja said the Union ministry of commerce selected them for the global competition. The firm is renowned for designing the Jawaharlal Nehru University and the Ambadeep Towers in Delhi. It was recently internationally recognised for designing the Madhya Pradesh state secretariat and Gautam Buddha University. Recalling that the project's conceptualisation involved close collaboration with retired IAS officer Amitabh Kant, who was also the G20 Sherpa, to ensure the facility could host high-profile gatherings, such as the G20 Summit. After the award was announced, Kant thanked the Prime Minister on the social media platform X, 'for the vision and opportunity to conceptualise and drive it as Secretary DIPP (Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion)'. What sets Yashobhoomi apart, Kukreja said, is its fusion of modern technology with traditional Indian identity. 'It's easy to copy global examples from Germany, Korea, or the US; but for me, it was essential to root the design in India's ethos—through stepwell-inspired forms, jali screens, aangan-like light courts, and interiors steeped in Indian art and motifs.' He said the exhibition hall spans an area equivalent to four football fields. The venue features a 100-metre column-free span and the world's largest LED facade. 'The venue is also India's first to incorporate retractable seating that can transform a 6,000-seater hall into a flat-floored multi-purpose space at the touch of a button,' he said. Large venues like this often turn into 'white elephants' due to a lack of versatility. 'So, we ensured that the hall can have multiple uses,' he said. Kukreja said sustainability was a core design priority, and this secured the Indian Green Building Council's platinum rating. 'Steel was chosen to minimise localised pollution. This ensured durability and lower carbon impact, while featuring recycled materials, locally sourced granite and marble, and off-site fabricated glass-reinforced concrete,' he said. Kukreja said the award was more than personal recognition. 'This is about India creating architecture the world talks about and respects.'
