Pune Metropolitan Region Growth Hub Launch: ‘New airport, ring road can boost Pune's economy by Rs 3 lakh crore', says Fadnavis

'It is no longer the case that any one city dominates a sector, and many cities in Maharashtra are developing rapidly. However, Pune is a very progressive and innovative city and has the potential to create its strength by entering new sectors,' Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said while inaugurating the Pune Metropolitan Region Growth Hub at YASHADA on Friday. The initiative aims to double the city's economy of $58 billion over the next five years and was a joint initiative between NITI Aayog, the state Government, and Pune International Centre, representing a coordinated effort to accelerate regional development through strategic planning and policy reforms. Fadnavis outlined an ambitious vision where Pune competes not just with other Indian cities but on the global stage, contributing to India's goal of becoming a five-trillion-dollar economy. He emphasised that the new airport and ring road in Pune are expected to generate an economic impact of Rs 3 lakh crore. 'Today, 65 per cent of GDP comes from urban surroundings. This growth can be accelerated through proper planning,' Fadnavis explained, highlighting the importance of creating an integrated ecosystem for industrial development. Fadnavis explained that with the help of the central government, the state government's 'Educity' project in Navi Mumbai has already attracted five world-renowned universities, with plans to welcome 10 universities that will educate at least 50,000 students over the next five years. This initiative alone is expected to generate Rs 2,000 crore in GST revenue. 'These universities will bring a new revolution based on AI. Global industries will come here to take advantage of this opportunity,' Fadnavis said, emphasising Pune as a hub for artificial intelligence and advanced technologies. Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said that Pune's success lies in its diverse strengths across technology, industry, manufacturing, education, and healthcare. Known as the 'Oxford of the East,' Pune's excellent educational institutions create a steady source of skilled professionals. 'The city's current advantages include a thriving automotive industry, a robust information technology sector, engineering research capabilities, and strong small and medium enterprises. The growth hub will build upon these foundations while identifying new expansion opportunities, Shinde added. The 'Developing City Regions as Growth Hub' initiative was launched by the NITI Aayog in 2023. It focuses on developing urban centres through economic growth, lifestyle improvement, and sustainable practices. Initially implemented as a pilot in Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), Surat, Varanasi, and Visakhapatnam, the program has now expanded to include Pune. 'The state is planning to establish more such growth hubs in Nagpur, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, and Nashik,' said Rajagopal Deora, Additional Chief Secretary of the Planning Department. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region, which started earlier, targets doubling its economy from $140 billion to $300 billion within five years, providing a successful model for Pune to follow. 'Pune needs to achieve a 10 per cent economic growth rate to realise its potential as a global city. The ultimate target is to reach a $600 billion economy, positioning Pune among the world's leading cities,' said NITI Aayog CEO B.V.R. Subrahmanyam. 'The growth hub will focus on removing bureaucratic obstacles, implementing policy reforms, and creating necessary infrastructure. A comprehensive plan will be prepared over the next 4-5 months, involving local institutions, industries, and organisations in the planning process,' added Subrahmanyam.

What elevator use says about the Indian psyche

It's a weekday morning, you have just reached work dressed in formals and are waiting for the lift on the ground floor with a bunch of others. Nobody talks, minds weighed down by the coming work day. As per Google Maps, you have reached; but the map doesn't factor in this painful vertical journey to the work desk. Suddenly, a hotshot executive walks straight to the already glowing lift button and presses it 2-3 times again, and stands back — people waiting don't know the button needs to be pressed to summon the lift is, perhaps, the assumption? Or is it that, by pressing it, they have magically ensured that their floor is prioritised over the others? Everybody loves to press a button, and hence how we use lifts is a good window into the Indian psyche. Lifts have been there throughout history. Unless those late-night TV conspiracists are right about aliens building the Pyramids (perhaps under an 80:20 subvention scheme?), those stones must have been lifted to the top using some pulley mechanism. Even Archimedes tried it in 236 BC. But only in 1852, Elisha Otis and his sons came up with an elevator design that employed a safety device. If the ropes broke, a wooden frame at the top of the platform would snap out against the sides of the elevator, essentially functioning as a brake. This safety device is what led to the mass adoption of lifts. Elisha Otis is, I guess, the only inventor who followed up an invention with business sense, and now Otis is the largest lift manufacturer with a revenue of $14 billion. John Logie Baird, the inventor of colour TV, must be looking at your TVs bearing a Korean last name and shedding a silent tear. The first lift in India was installed in the Kolkata Raj Bhavan, the official residence of the Governor of Bengal in 1892, and since then, the lift design did not change in India for the next 100+ years, you had to slide two iron collapsible grills to get inside a lift, only to find a person inside sitting on a wooden stool, whose only job is to press the buttons for you — the lift-man. When you look at him, you realise quick-delivery services will survive for long. Labour is cheap. As our cities started growing vertically, they built gates with security guards to keep the other India out. Elevators were needed to stack up more and more Indians waiting for their long-term visa. The only solace — they could afford aristocracy here, so they invented the concept of a service lift. To allow the other India to come and cook for them, clean their houses and leave without being visible. Just get a valid Aadhaar card — maybe a passport these days. Nobody teaches lift etiquettes, though; it's like an email sign-off you copy from others. Similarly, how you behave in the lift is learnt the hard way. The moment a lift arrives at the ground floor, the guys waiting there won't stop for the people inside to disembark; they would rush immediately — a vertical local train. Scarcity builds muscle memory and eats civic sense for breakfast. It is the same when someone at the back has to get off the lift; the guys in front will appear reluctant to step out to let the person out, lest some exhale and claim his 15 square inches of space. So, the former must squeeze himself out, rubbing shoulders with all in front. Another key trait is people pressing the down button when they want to go up. It is to bring the lift to them instead of indicating where they want to go. This is classic aristocracy, where buttons are pressed to summon people — like those babus with a bell in their cabins in the 1970s. Indian society spent 75 years transitioning from a British colonial system to the American way of working. It's a spectrum. Just like how this article uses elevator (American) and lift (British) interchangeably. Lifts are mini dressing rooms for a lot of people. Life-size mirrors let people check their make-up or a receding hairline or an unmitigated paunch. This is a network-free zone, where there is time to introspect with phones lying in the pockets — unless, of course, when you must stare into your phone to avoid verbal or non-verbal interactions with a fellow lift passenger, especially one of the opposite gender. Nobody seems to know how to give a polite smile or a nod or voice a hello. We are still evolving, still learning. By the time we master elevators, another daunting task surfaces, to convince parents — with socialist-era knees — to use the escalator. One step at a time.
