A Vision for Vertical Growth: Rajjath Goel on Shaping the Future of Dwarka Expressway
Gurugram (Haryana) [India], August 12: Gurugram's real estate has always stayed ahead of the curve. From a satellite town, the city has grown into one of India's most sought-after real estate destinations, driven by infrastructure upgrades, a booming corporate ecosystem, and rising lifestyle aspirations. But what's truly setting the tone for the next chapter of Gurugram's growth is the emergence of new corridors.
Among the many growth nodes fueling this momentum, the Dwarka Expressway corridor has emerged as a catalytic force, redefining the city's residential blueprint. Strategically connecting Delhi to Gurugram, this 8-lane expressway is reshaping mobility, unlocking immense potential for vertical, future-ready developments.
Recent data from JLL shows that 5,168 luxury units were sold in NCR in H1 2025, giving the region a 65% share of luxury home sales across India's top seven cities. Gurugram alone accounted for an overwhelming 91% of NCR's luxury sales in the first half of the year. The Southern Peripheral Road and Dwarka Expressway corridors have emerged as key magnets, together contributing 61% of Gurugram's high-end transactions. SPR alone accounted for 39% of sales, fuelled by new launches from leading developers. The completion of Dwarka Expressway has boosted connectivity, pushed property prices up, and moved more projects into the ₹5 crore-plus bracket.
Riding this wave of change is Rajjath Goel, Managing Director of MRG Group, whose forward-looking approach to real estate is helping shape not just skylines, but self-sustained communities. As cities run out of horizontal room to grow, vertical living has become a response to space constraints. Developers are curating high-rise developments that are thoughtfully planned ecosystems and are part of a larger vision for connected, community-first living. From enhanced security and better air circulation to shared green spaces and curated amenities, vertical townships offer a quality of life that traditional sprawl simply cannot match. At MRG Group, Rajjath Goel has shifted this chasing skyline dominance through projects that are efficient, well-located, and aligned with how people actually live, work, and unwind today.
"To me, vertical growth is not just about constructing taller buildings--it's a reflection of rising aspirations and smarter urban living. At MRG, we see it as a way to create more meaningful, well-connected communities within compact urban footprints. Our approach to vertical development is rooted in purpose, offering homes that are not only accessible but also aligned with the evolving lifestyle needs of today's Indian families. From integrated amenities to efficient layouts, we're focused on delivering value at every level, while contributing to a more sustainable and future-ready urban landscape," says Rajjath Goel, Managing Director, MRG Group.
Rajjath's vision for MRG Group is firmly anchored in realism: understanding what today's buyers truly value, and responding with thoughtful design, smart engineering, and a commitment to quality that stands the test of time. From meticulous planning and modern construction technologies to choosing strategic, well-connected locations, every decision is made with the end-user in mind. MRG's projects are well-rounded, award-winning ecosystems built around convenience, sustainability, and the evolving aspirations of urban India.
As Dwarka Expressway steps into its next phase of evolution, Rajjath Goel envisions it as a vertical, inclusive, and sustainable urban canvas; one that reflects the core ethos of MRG Group. By blending luxury with aspiration, and design with purpose, the group is helping redefine what quality living can look like in a modern, fast-growing corridor. The goal is simple yet powerful: to build not just for today, but for a future that's smarter, greener, and deeply people-centric.

Bank Lending Rates Dip In July On The Back Of RBI Rate Cuts
Mumbai: Softer lending rates in the Indian economy due to the transmission of the RBI's repo rate cuts to other rates, such as bank lending rates and deposit rates, continued in July, leading to an improvement in financial conditions during the month, according to a report released on Wednesday. Key bank lending rates, such as the one-year marginal cost of funds-based lending rate (MCLR) and auto loan rate, eased 15 bps to 8.75 per cent and 7 bps, respectively to 9.19 per cent, while deposit rates eased 3 bps to 6.37 per cent during the month making it cheaper for banks to raise funds, the Crisil Research report said. The weighted average lending rate (WALR) on fresh rupee loans has eased sharply as well. As per the latest available data, the WALR eased 58 bps on-month to 8.62 per cent in June, the lowest since October 2022. The surplus in systemic liquidity also inched up in July, led by increased government spending and a decline in currency in circulation, pulling down money market rates further. The RBI's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) reduced the policy rate by 100 basis points (bps) between February and June. As lending rates eased, bank credit growth improved, but remained weaker than in the January-March quarter. Bank credit growth has improved in the past two months now. Sectoral data, available till June, indicates credit growth picked up in the personal loans, services and industry segments. However, concerns about US tariffs weighed on markets ahead of the August 1 deadline, with equity markets ending July lower than June. Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) were net sellers of equities. The 10-year government security (G-sec) yield saw an uptick towards the end of the month, driven by mild FPI outflows in debt in the second half of the month. The yield rose in June and July despite rate cuts, leading to a sharp rise in the term premium. For the fourth straight month, systemic liquidity remained in surplus, which widened a tad in July compared with June. The RBI net absorbed Rs 3 lakh crore in July, slightly higher than the Rs 2.7 lakh crore in June. The higher surplus was supported by an increase in government spending and a decline in currency in circulation, the report said. Another positive for the economy was that crude oil prices remained broadly stable at $71 per barrel from $71.5 amid the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies increasing oil output, the report added.

US to cooperate with Pakistan over critical minerals, hydrocarbons: Secretary of State Rubio
WASHINGTON: The US government on Wednesday stated that it is "looking forward" to strengthening its cooperation with Pakistan in areas of critical minerals and hydrocarbons, with a renewed focus on economic cooperation in other emerging sectors. Announcing its intent in a congratulatory message on Pakistan's Independence Day, the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a statement, highlighted the importance of continued collaboration between the two nations. "On behalf of the United States, I extend our warm congratulations to the people of Pakistan as they celebrate their Independence Day on August 14," Rubio said in the statement issued by US Department of State. He also acknowledged Pakistan's engagement with the US on key fronts, particularly counterterrorism and trade. "The United States deeply appreciates Pakistan's engagement on counterterrorism and trade. We look forward to exploring new areas of economic cooperation, including critical minerals and hydrocarbons, and fostering dynamic business partnerships which will promote a prosperous future for Americans and Pakistanis," the statement further read. The message comes at a time when Washington is actively seeking to further its ties with India's terror-harbouring neighbour. Earlier in July, US President Donald Trump announced a trade deal with Pakistan, touting a joint initiative to develop oil reserves in the country and even floated the idea that "some day" Islamabad might sell oil to New Delhi. In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated that the US and Pakistan are currently in the process of selecting the oil company for the partnership. "We have just concluded a Deal with the Country of Pakistan, whereby Pakistan and the United States will work together on developing their massive Oil Reserves. We are in the process of choosing the Oil Company that will lead this Partnership. Who knows, maybe they'll be selling Oil to India some day!" Trump stated. Meanwhile, the Trump administration had also announced the lowest tariff rates for Pakistani goods to the US in South Asia in his new tariff plans announced earlier this month, with 19 percent imposed on Islamabad. India, on the other hand, faced a 25 percent tariff under the new plan. Trump later announced an additional 25 percent tariff on Indian goods to the US, bringing the total to 50 percent, due to India's continued oil purchases from Russia. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has slammed the US's move to impose additional tariffs, calling it "unfair, unjustified and unreasonable", and further noted that New Delhi would take "all actions necessary to protect its national interests." Notably, Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir visited the US for the second time in less than two months, where he reportedly said Pakistan could use nuclear weapons to take down India and "half the world" in the event of an existential threat during an event in Florida. The trip comes after a private luncheon with Trump in June, during which the Pakistan Army Chief recommended Trump's name for the Nobel Peace Prize.
