Realty developer Hiranandani Communities and Krisala Developers' joint venture has entered a pact with Della Resorts & Adventures to develop a mega township spread over 40-acre land parcel in Pune's Hinjewadi area.This is part of a larger development spread over 105 acres for which Hiranandani has inked a pact with Krisala Developers to be developed under the Maharashtra government's new integrated township policy.
Maharashtra's integrated township policy is a framework that encourages large-scale planned townships to be developed by private players to reduce pressure on major cities while promoting sustainable urbanization.
The project, which will see development of luxury villas, resorts, an 8-acre racecourse and an international poli club, is expected to have a revenue potential of Rs 1,100 crore on the back of Rs 500 crore investment. The entire 105-acre township will entail an investment of Rs 2,000 crore and have a revenue potential of around Rs 7,000 crore. The development agreement between Della Resorts & Adventures and Hiranandani Group-Krisala Developers will be based on Conceptualisation, Design, Development, Marketing and Operations (CDDMO) model. This is for the first time a hospitality-led model like this being used in India.
As per the CDDMO model, Della Resorts & Adventures will get a 15% of the project's topline as fees, 6% for hospitality operations in addition to 25% sweat equity in the hospitality business, Jimmy Mistry, founder & chairman, Della Resorts and Adventure, told ET.'We have already tied up with five developers under this new CDDMO model and in the process of forming an alliance with five more. In total, we are looking at a total 10 such projects worth Rs 20,000 crore in Pune, Nashik, Alibaug, Goa, Indore and Chennai in the current financial year itself,' Mistry said.According to Niranjan Hiranandani, chairman, Hiranandani Communities, the company will be working a lot more in collaborations with local developers and innovators going forward as it plans to foray into different segments including redevelopment and even slum rehabilitation.'As the preferences of modern homebuyers continue to evolve, property developers are being nudged to collaborate with allied industries to create innovative ecosystems tailored to meet the needs of aspirational Indian homeowners,' Hiranandani said.
The Indian real estate sector is witnessing a rising trend of joint development agreements as developers and landowners have been seeking capital-efficient growth strategies amid evolving market dynamics. With high land acquisition costs and issues related to clear titles, developers are increasingly partnering with landowners to unlock land value without upfront purchases, while landowners benefit from profit-sharing or revenue-based models instead of outright sales.The surge in joint development agreements is particularly visible in key property markets including Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru and Delhi-NCR, where high costs make such collaborations financially viable.

Burhanpur power loom cluster set for industry allotment in Sept

Indore: After significant delays, power loom cluster at Mohammadpura in Burhanpur district, is set to be allocated to industries from Sept. District Industries and Trade Centre (DIC) under the MSME department has completed development of the power loom cluster. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now It has prepared to begin allocations next month. The project, initially scheduled for completion in 2023, was stalled due to a slow flow of funds. "The power loom cluster at Mohammadpura is ready and allotment of land to industries in the cluster is expected to be carried out in Sept. The procedure due to be completed before starting the allotment process has been initiated," said Atmaram Soni, general manager at Burhanpur DIC. The cluster comprises 64 industrial lands and spans approximately 7.6 hectare under the Micro and Small Enterprises - Cluster Development Programme (MSE-CDP), with an estimated development cost of Rs 12.9 crore. Under the scheme, the state will contribute 60 percent of the development cost, while the Centre will are the remaining 40 percent. "The estimated investment likely to be generated from industries for this cluster is more than Rs 100 crore. We are hoping for full and quick occupancy in this cluster because Burhanpur is a hub for power looms," Soni added.

Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill 2025 gets Parliament's approval

New Delhi, Aug 19 (UNI) The Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2025, aimed at promoting exploration, mining, and processing of critical and rare minerals and liberalising the overall mining regulatory framework to attract investments, was passed by the Rajya Sabha today. With this, the Bill has received approval from both Houses of Parliament. After a reply by Union Minister for Mines G Kishan Reddy during the discussion in the Upper House, the Bill was passed by a voice vote without any amendments. The Lok Sabha had already passed it earlier. Amid Opposition uproar over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar during Zero Hour, the Rajya Sabha was adjourned once in the morning. When the House reconvened at 2 pm, Congress and other Opposition parties again raised the issue, but Deputy Chairman Ghanshyam Tiwari did not allow it. Protesting the decision, Opposition members walked out of the House. Afterwards, Union Minister Reddy introduced the Bill and outlined its key objectives. During the debate, 19 members from various parties participated and supported the Bill while offering suggestions. In his reply, Reddy referred to the coal scam and the opacity, nepotism, and corruption that plagued the mining sector before 2014. He said the Modi government's reforms have restored public trust in the mining sector and led to economic benefits and significant transformation. Describing the mining sector as a source of prosperity and employment, Reddy said the Bill is inspired by the goal of harnessing its potential. He noted that due to reforms over the past decade, mining has grown rapidly, and states' revenues have increased tenfold. All proceeds from mineral premiums, royalties, and other levies go to the states. He emphasised that the central government works for the nation's development, not just revenue collection. He also highlighted that India's coal production has reached one billion tonnes annually for the first time, imports have declined, and foreign exchange has been saved. Thermal power plants now have a 27-day coal stock, up from the previous average of 10–17 days. The Prime Minister, he said, personally reviews daily reports on coal stock at power plants. "Our ministry is fully prepared to meet every state's coal demand," Reddy said. He added that India is currently 100% dependent on foreign countries for critical minerals. To reduce this dependency, the Modi government has launched a Rs 32,000 crore Critical Minerals Mission and established a new PSU called KABIL (Khanij Bidesh India Ltd). Reddy informed the House that KABIL, a joint venture of National Aluminium Company, Hindustan Copper Ltd, and Mineral Exploration and Consultancy Limited, has secured five rare mineral blocks in Argentina, from which India will source lithium. In Zambia, India has obtained exploration rights over 9,000 sq km for critical minerals. Addressing criticism of the Prime Minister's foreign trips, Reddy said that during a recent tour of five countries, PM Modi held significant discussions on critical minerals in each nation. "We are working in mission mode in this sector," he added. R&D efforts have been launched, and 13 offshore blocks have been identified for auction. A dedicated division within the Geological Survey of India (GSI) has been created for critical mineral exploration, with responsibilities assigned across various states, including Jammu & Kashmir. He also stated that the government has finalised projects to reclaim 143 closed coal mines and is preparing to have the Rs 2 lakh crore spent from the District Mineral Fund audited by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG). During the discussion, several members praised the Bill and offered inputs. BJP's Bheem Singh called the Bill a step to strengthen the regulatory framework for industrially and strategically significant deep-seated minerals. Milind Deora (Shiv Sena) said the Bill will allow Indian companies to invest in foreign rare mineral mines and boost domestic processing capacity, marking a step toward self-reliance in critical minerals. He also suggested encouraging green mining and recycling of old solar panels. NCP's Praful Patel urged the government to ease environmental regulations to prevent future bottlenecks. AIADMK's Thambi Durai raised concerns about illegal mining in Tamil Nadu and mentioned the arrest of a ruling party member in connection with unlawful activities. Tamil Manila Congress (M)'s GK Vasan also highlighted the issue of illegal sand mining in Tamil Nadu, which is harming the ecology and reducing state revenue. He said the groundwater level is falling due to negligence by the state government. YSR Congress's Ayodhya Rami Reddy Alla welcomed the easing of rules for deep-seated mining leases, saying it will improve investment efficiency and mineral supply. Biju Janata Dal's Manas Ranjan Mangaraj demanded higher mineral royalties for Odisha. BJP's Aditya Prasad alleged that coal smuggling under the Congress-supported government in Jharkhand has hurt legal sales and claimed that a youth activist opposing illegal mining was killed in a staged encounter. While some Opposition members had submitted notices for amendments, they were absent during the session. After the Bill was passed, the Rajya Sabha was adjourned for the day to meet tomorrow at 11 am. UNI RBE SSP

The rhetoric and real costs of trade wars

India misread the tariffs brought on by the United States and, at a broader level, the Trump administration. We were one of the first to approach the US on this matter, and we continued to believe that we would have a favourable deal till recently, given what we felt was a great rapport between Modi and Trump. Mainstream electronic media houses were complicit in driving this narrative. To understand why India got it wrong, it would be useful to connect two disparate data dots. Top that with India's misreading of Trump's desire to be seen as a look at the first irritant and its impact. India exports roughly $90 billion, paying approximately 2 per cent tariffs currently, and imports roughly $45 billion at 12 per cent tariffs. The trade deficit of $45 billion carries a tariff differential of $5 billion per year in India's favour after adjusting for exempted products. We should have seen this imbalance in America's trade deficit and tariffs long ago and proactively addressed this. Modi is now overhauling the tax rates in a bid to boost the economy. This is expected to cost $20 billion, four times the tariff differential India was enjoying. .The other irritant is oil imports. In 2021/22, India imported roughly 2.5 million barrels of oil every day. Under the tacit approval of the West, India's imports from Russia grew from 2 per cent then to 40 per cent today. India buys 45 per cent of the exported oil from Russia, a growth of 1900 per cent from pre-war levels. China buys the same percentage, a growth of 50 per cent from pre-war levels. So why did India need this extra oil suddenly? It was because we processed this extra oil and sold it for a profit overseas. Therefore, the rhetoric is misplaced, as we are profiting and fuelling the Russian war machine. Predicting the flow of events, we should have scaled down our offtake back to the 2022 levels and with that, justify our need to fuel the Indian economy and keep inflationary tendencies in check. We have now started to do this, drawing a balance between the US and predict that the impact of tariffs at 25 per cent is likely to be in the region of $11-12 billion per annum on tariffed goods and about 0.25 per cent on GDP. In the earliest days of cranking up our imports of oil, the difference was around $30 a barrel, leading to a gain of $16 billion. That has now come down to around $5 a barrel after accounting for logistics, etc. The benefit we get is estimated today to be only $3.5 billion, a delta of $8.5 billion from what we lose out on with the long commentators have suggested many responses, ranging from the knee-jerk to keeping the long-term in mind. The real issue is what we do now. There is no pattern in the madness. Why have the four treatments of the BRIC countries been different? Because there is a different playbook with each one. With Brazil, the US has a trade surplus. Why then, do they have tariffs of 50 per cent, which is higher than China and equal to India? Bolsonaro? With China, 150 per cent was brought down to 30 per cent; here, it is about the rare earths. For the quantities required, the ecosystem is expensive, and the returns don't work out for a commercial operation. The CCP subsidised this for leverage and their long-term plans to pursue electric mobility and clean energy. This leverage on supplies was used to resolve the $650 billion of trade at stake between the US and China. .India made public its hypocritical treatment at the hands of the US, as it bought palladium, uranium, etc. from Russia. However, the reality is that US imports from Russia were at best $3 billion, down some 45 per cent from the previous year. India's imports from Russia stood at $70 billion, almost twice what it imports from the must now not get caught in the whirlpool of its rhetoric. And it certainly must not seek to appease China and Russia in a hurry and on the rebound. One can expect that this is short-term. There are many moving parts – Russia and Ukraine could arrive at a truce as early as next month. India has already started to demonstrate it is willing to reduce its import of Russian oil while not displeasing Russia. The midterms in the US could go against Trump, and the US courts could reverse Trump's executive decisions. Importantly, Trump does not define the long-standing US relationship with India. Trump himself may not have a long-term view on this the US, it seems clear. The average tariff on its imports has seen inflows of $28 billion, three times post these levies were collected in June. This aggregates to $350 billion. Add to this DOGE cuts and some others, and we have $500 billion being saved or added to the US treasury. This pays half its annual interest cost of $1 trillion, which, if left alone, is not sustainable. This is good for no one, as it is the world's biggest market by the short term, one sees no harm in subtly managing the relationships and dynamics at play and being practical. In the long term, anyway, as economist John Maynard Keynes said, we are all dead..(The writer is the former managing director of a Tata Company and now runs a Bengaluru-headquartered corporate finance practice)
