Indian man travels to Vietnam to buy MacBook, saves over Rs 35k while enjoying vacation
A Reddit user has sent the Internet abuzz after he shared his money-saving strategy to buy a new MacBook at a significantly lower price, and a bonus point? Enjoy an 11-day beach vacation in Vietnam. Astonishingly, he still ended up spending less than the cost of buying the device in India. Sharing a breakdown of the expense, the man explained that he cut down on the high cost of Apple products in India, which is driven by steep import duties, Goods and Services Tax (GST), and Apple's premium pricing model. 'If you're planning to buy a MacBook or iPhone worth Rs 2 lakh+ in India, trust me, it's worth making a short trip to Vietnam. You'll get the device cheaper and squeeze in a mini vacation,' he wrote on Reddit. According to the post, he booked the most affordable round-trip flight to Hanoi, worked remotely during the stay, and spent his free time exploring the city. As part of the mission, he also visited over 15 stores in search of the best deal. The man further shared that the staff at one store even assisted in unboxing the MacBook for inspection and then resealed it to ensure eligibility for VAT refund at the airport. 'Net savings on MacBook alone: Rs 36,500. So basically, add Rs 5K and you got yourself a brand-new MacBook and a vacation in Vietnam,' the user summed up. 'Final total I spent: MacBook + 11-day trip total: Rs 2,08,117 (before refund). After tax refund: Rs 1,97,000 approx. So if I deduct the cost of the MacBook alone, my 11-night Vietnam trip was just Rs 48K — and that too while working!' the post added. See the post here: I flew to Vietnam from India just to buy a MacBook byu/Shuict inmacoffer The post immediately went viral, with a range of reactions. 'Such a great post. Although I just got my Mac your post really made me wanna visit Vietnam for no reason,' a user wrote. 'Woohoo champ. I have travelled to Vietnam twice in past and I just loved the country. Probably will be travelling again for work later this year and I am definitely inspired by you,' another user commented. 'Came for the MacBook offer stayed for the Vietnam trip report,' a third user reacted.

Nimbus Group to invest Rs 1,000 cr on new housing project in Noida
Realty firm Nimbus Group will invest around Rs 1,000 crore to develop a luxury housing project in Noida. The company will develop 342 apartments in the project 'Arista Luxe' at Sector 168, Noida. "We will develop a luxury housing project in Noida. The total investment will be around Rs 1,000 crore," Nimbus Group promoter Bipin Agarwal told reporters here. He said the company has become a co-developer in a 10-acre stalled housing project, which was originally launched by Sunworld Residency Pvt Ltd in 2011-12. In the first phase, spread over 6 acres of land, around 600 units have already been delivered to customers. "Now, we are developing four towers in about 4 4-acre land parcel," Agarwal said. Out of the total investment, he said, around Rs 500 crore will be for construction. The company would also clear the dues of the Noida Development Authority. It would also pay some amount to Sunworld towards the land cost. Agarwal said the co-developer policy introduced by the authority will help in the completion of many stalled housing projects. Nimbus Group will sell these 342 apartments in a price range of Rs 4-8 crore. The company has launched this project at Rs 16,000-18,000 per sq ft, he added. "The demand is steady in Noida and Greater Noida, and we will sell these apartments slowly to end-users," he said. Nimbus Group has developed many housing projects in Noida, comprising around 8,000 homes. It is currently constructing a few more projects in Noida and Greater Noida.

TRSL received a Letter of Acceptance (LoA) for the design, manufacture, supply, installation, integration, testing and commissioning of the coaches for Mumbai Metro's Line 6, he said. "The margin of this new metro contract remains consistent with the current trend of 9-10 per cent. This will improve once we ramp up capacity, and the ongoing backwards integration is complete," TRSL's Deputy MD Pritish Chowdhary told PTI. Currently, each coach costs on average Rs 10-11 crore, depending on facilities and requirements of the customer, he said. The contract has been awarded by NCC Ltd, which is executing the project for the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA). The scope includes five years of comprehensive maintenance, following a two-year defect liability period, the company said. As the specialised subcontractor for rolling stock for Line 6, connecting Swami Samarth Nagar to Vikhroli (Eastern Express Highway), TRSL will deliver 18 train sets comprising six coaches each, it said. The design-build phase is expected to be completed within 104 weeks, after which the maintenance period will commence, it added. The company said the order further strengthens its presence in the Indian urban transit segment, aligning with its broader growth strategy in rail mobility solutions. TRSL has an integrated manufacturing facility at Uttarpara in West Bengal's Hooghly district.
