Real estate eyes growth corridor in North Chennai
Chennai: Once seen as the gritty industrial edge of the city, North Chennai is turning into one of the hottest new addresses in real estate, especially plotted development. Areas such as Red Hills, Puzhal, and Karanodai are fast turning into favourite hubs for plotted development due to various development projects planned by the govt.
According to developers, North Chennai is what Anna Nagar was in the 1970s or Besant Nagar in the 1980s. From key connectivity upgrades such as Chennai Outer Ring Road (ORR) to the expansion of social infrastructure such as metro, schools, colleges and healthcare facilities, the region is rapidly evolving into a vibrant residential zone.
"Chennai, Hyderabad and Bengaluru lead in plotted development when compared to the rest of India.
These plots are created in all futuristic locations, where the govt has planned future development projects and where investments can grow," said Ranjeeth Rathod, executive committee member, Credai-Chennai. G Square's latest land acquisition aligns with this momentum. The firm has acquired a total 62.38 acres of land to develop 1,091 ready-to-construct villa plots spread across Red Hills, Puzhal, and Karanodai.

The total investment across these projects stands at 230 crores. "The new projects are strategically located with excellent access to major transit corridors, prominent educational institutions, healthcare hubs and other developments like Madhavaram Mofussil Bus Terminus (MMBT), fintech city at Madhavaram, Chennai Peripheral Ring Road," said Bala Ramajeyam, managing director, G Square Realtors Private Limited.
Traditionally, South Chennai — especially along the GST corridor — has been the preferred choice for homebuyers, thanks to its established infrastructure and proximity to industries, said Abdul Rahman, national south wing secretary, CREDAI. "But North Chennai is poised to emerge as an interesting prospect. The key question buyers ask is how long it will take for property values to appreciate. If the govt promotes high-paying, white-collar employment opportunities in the region, it will significantly boost investor confidence and drive greater demand for housing in the years ahead.
" Developers say homebuyers now crave personalized living spaces with the convenience of community features. "Most of the buyers are women, govt employees association, group of teachers and even IT employees. Nearly 90 per cent of the buyers select plots that are 1,200 sqft," added Ranjeeth Rathod.

India is well-positioned to emerge as centres of gravity, says Anand Mahindra; calls for speed & private investment amid 'Globalisation 2.0'
A rising tide of protectionism is reshaping global trade, but it is not the end of globalisation—rather its rebirth, said Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra in his address to shareholders in the company's 2024–25 annual report. Mahindra believes this transition offers India a unique opportunity to emerge as a new centre of gravity in what he called "Globalisation 2.0". "India, too, will face challenges," Mahindra said, noting the evolving nature of global trade marked by shifting alliances, reduced dependence on China-centric supply chains, and diminishing dominance of the US market. He said the world is moving toward a "multi-polar, regional, and domestically driven" model of globalisation, in which India is well-positioned to thrive. "Ironically, the US shift toward de-globalisation may lead to a new avatar of globalisation… I believe India is well-positioned to emerge as one of the new centres of gravity," Mahindra asserted. He underscored India's advantages, including its stable democracy, reputation as a reliable partner, and a strong, apolitical military. However, Mahindra cautioned that the future remains uncertain. "Whether it be a country or a business, the winners will be the ones who can successfully navigate uncertainty and ambiguity—the ones who are resilient." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning... Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Click Here Undo Referring to geopolitical volatility, Mahindra acknowledged that India faces risks, especially with 'our provocative neighbour', Pakistan. "I am optimistic that we can demonstrate the limits to our tolerance without impeding our path to economic ascendance," he added, quoted PTI. He pointed out that US-China decoupling, while uncertain, is likely to continue, impacting trade flows. "International trade has already slowed amidst heightened uncertainty and dampened investor confidence," he said. Industries relying on global supply chains—such as electronics and consumer goods—are particularly vulnerable due to rising input costs, he warned. Mahindra stressed that India must rethink its trade dependencies and diversify sourcing. He predicted increased localisation, re-engineered supply chains, and the formation of new trade networks globally. India's trade deficit, sectoral vulnerabilities, and rising competition must be addressed strategically. "The challenge will be to minimise the adverse effects, akin to how Lord Shiva confined the poison to his throat without letting it spread," Mahindra said, invoking the mythological reference of Samudra Manthan. But he urged India not to merely mitigate risks but seize this shift as a growth opportunity. "Instead, we can proactively view this as an opportunity to enable some 'Amrit' to emerge," he said. Mahindra emphasised that private enterprise must lead this economic transformation with speed and agility. India could benefit from China's adversarial stance, which may open up new opportunities in supply chains. Mahindra said India must focus on innovation, R&D, and manufacturing to capture market share from global competitors. "Restrictions on China and high tariffs for other competing countries could open new markets for Indian goods," he said. To make the most of the moment, Mahindra warned, India must act swiftly. "Speed and agility are essential, as countries like the Philippines and Vietnam are already touting themselves as future manufacturing hubs. We must act swiftly and strategically to secure our share of the Amrit." Stay informed with the latest business news, updates on bank holidays and public holidays . AI Masterclass for Students.

Tata Steel Gets GST Show-Cause Notice Over Alleged Rs 1,000 Crore Tax Credit Irregularity
Mumbai: Tata Steel on Sunday said it has received a show-cause-cum-demand notice from the tax department over an alleged irregular use of input tax credit worth over Rs 1,000 crore for the financial years 2018-19 to 2022-23. In a filing to the stock exchanges, the company said that the notice was issued by the Office of the Commissioner (Audit), Central Tax, Ranchi, on June 28. "On June 28, Tata Steel Limited received a Show Cause cum demand Notice dated June 27, issued by the Office of the Commissioner (Audit), Central Tax, Ranchi, proposing to disallow/demand primarily on account of alleged irregular availment of Input Tax Credit in contravention of the provisions of Section 74(1) of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017/State Goods and Services Act, 2017 read with Section 20 of the Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, for the period FY2018-19 through FY2022-23," the firm said in its filing. The tax authority asked Tata Steel to explain, within 30 days, why the GST amounting to Rs 1,007.54 crore should not be demanded and recovered from the company. The explanation has to be submitted before the Additional or Joint Commissioner of Central GST & Central Excise in Jharkhand's Jamshedpur. According to the notice, Tata Steel allegedly claimed input tax credit in violation of the GST rules -- specifically Section 74(1) of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, and Section 20 of the Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017. Tata Steel clarified that it has already paid Rs 514.19 crore as GST in the normal course of business. This amount is proposed to be adjusted in the notice, reducing the company's actual tax exposure to about Rs 493.35 crore. The company has said it believes the notice is without merit and will present its case before the authorities within the given deadline. Tata Steel also stated that this matter does not affect its financial, operational, or other business activities. Under the GST system, businesses can claim input tax credit on the taxes paid for purchases used in the production of goods or services. This credit helps in reducing their overall tax liability.

Contribute to stable borders: Chinese President Xi urges residents of Tibetan village bordering Arunachal Pradesh
Beijing: Chinese President Xi Jinping on Sunday called on the Tibetan residents of a village situated near the Indian border to contribute towards fostering prosperity and stability in the border areas. "Learning that the village has undergone new changes in recent years and villagers' incomes have increased, I feel happy for you," Xi replied to a letter received from residents of Nyingchi, a prefecture-level area located close to the Arunachal Pradesh border. China claims Arunachal Pradesh as part of South Tibet, which is firmly rejected by India. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?

Xi, in his letter, voiced hope that Nyingchi residents will, under the guidance of the Communist Party's policies to develop border areas and improve people's lives, do an even better job in protecting the natural beauty of the plateau region, developing the village's tourist brand, and contributing to building a prosperous and stable border area. Live Events In recent years, China has built a number of villages along the Tibetan border areas to ensure border security and development. In his letter, Xi also urged the people in the Tibet Autonomous Region to uphold ethnic solidarity and create a happier and better life, the state-run Xinhua news agency reported. During his 2021 visit to Nyingchi, Xi visited the Nyang River Bridge to inspect the ecological preservation in the basin of the Brahmaputra River , which is called Yarlung Zangbo in the Tibetan language. Last year, China approved the construction of the world's largest dam, stated to be the planet's biggest infrastructure project, costing USD 137 billion, on the Brahmaputra river in Tibet, which has raised concerns in the riparian states of India and Bangladesh.
