"An architect is already appointed for this ambitious housing scheme to come up at Hukumchand Mill land," said Indore divisional commissioner Deepak Singh. He chaired a meeting on Wednesday that included discussions and approvals for several significant urban development projects aimed at modernising infrastructure and providing better amenities.
The board also discussed the re-densification of the more than 50-year-old MIG Colony and its adjacent shopping complex. This redevelopment will also include institutions like Shri Vaishnav Polytechnic College and ITI Indore.
Other proposed projects across the Indore division include a rest house in Alirajpur, a janpad office in Jhabua, a PWD office and dak bungalow in Dhar, staff quarters in Manawar tehsil, Indrajeet Hostel Complex in Barwani, and redevelopment of PWD office in Khargone and the old tehsil office in Kasarawad.
During the meeting, Singh directed officials to prioritise environmental considerations in all residential and commercial construction plans. He emphasised the installation of solar energy panels on buildings, implementation of rainwater harvesting, and roof water harvesting systems. Furthermore, he mandated that the ground floor of all residential and commercial buildings should be reserved for parking.
He also called for development of Civil Lines for govt employee housing in all districts of the division, allocating 10 to 20 hectare of land for this purpose.

M aharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis to inaugurate last stretch of Samruddhi expressway between Bhiwandi & Igatpuri
Nashik: The final stretch of the Nagpur-Mumbai Samruddhi Expressway will be opened to the public at an event in Nashik's Igatpuri taluka on June 5. Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis will inaugurate the last 76km section, between Bhiwandi (Thane) and Igatpuri, of the Rs 55,000 crore expressway, said the officials of the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation. The completion of this 701km greenfield project, the brainchild of Fadnavis and executed by the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC), will reduce the journey time between Nagpur and Mumbai from over 16 hours to eight hours, with speeds permitted up to 150 kmph. "With the completion of the road, the traffic movement to and from Mumbai will be much faster. Nashik residents will benefit from it, given that they will be able to glide through the ghat section where the travel time reduces from 25 minutes to a little over eight minutes. Overall, they will save more than 45 minutes," said Rajesh Patel, a businessman frequently travelling to Mumbai. "The biggest beneficiaries in the district would be the areas around Sinnar and the soon-to-come-up dry port at Niphad, which have very quick access to the highway," said Rakesh Vanjari, an industrialist from Sinnar, who added that Sangamner and Ahmednagar-bound motorists will also benefit. This section showcases exceptional engineering, featuring five tunnels spanning 11km, a single 7.7km tunnel, and 22 viaducts totalling 11km, with the longest being 2.3km and the highest pillar reaching 84m. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Own A Barrel of Whisky With Average Annual Returns of 10.15%* Whisky Investors Download Undo The expressway traverses 10 districts, linking 26 talukas with Mumbai and Nagpur, while benefiting 14 additional districts. The infrastructure was constructed on 8,800 hectares acquired between 2014 and 2019 during Fadnavis's tenure as chief minister. Construction progress slowed during the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent govt change. However, development accelerated under chief minister Eknath Shinde's leadership. The Igatpuri inauguration signals the project's completion and ensures Devendra Fadnavis's name amongst its inaugurators. Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the first section from Nagpur to Shirdi in Dec 2022, followed by then CM Eknath Shinde opening the Shirdi to Bharvir stretch in May 2023, and MSRDC minister Dada Bhuse launching the Bharvir to Igatpuri segment.

European, Korean majors keen to make EVs in India: HD Kumaraswamy
H D Kumaraswamy (File photo) NEW DELHI: Europe's Mercedes Benz, Skoda-Volkswagen (VW) and South Korea's Hyundai and Kia have shown interest to manufacture electric vehicles (EVs) in India, heavy industries minister H D Kumaraswamy said Monday. He added that India is likely to see only a "minor impact" from US plan to hike tariffs on steel and aluminium products, as India does not export steel "in a big way" to that country. The minister said these global car manufacturing majors have expressed interest during discussions between govt and industry regarding the 'Scheme to Promote Manufacturing of Electric Passenger Cars in India'. The window to apply under the scheme will open in a couple of weeks. Officials said successful applicants may roll out electric cars from their factories in India within two-to-three years. As per the guidelines, to encourage global manufacturers to invest under the scheme, the approved applicants will be allowed to import completely built-in units (CBUs) of electric cars with a minimum CIF (cost, insurance and freight) value of $35,000 at reduced customs duty of 15% for five years from the application approval date. The number of cars to be imported at lowered duty will be 8,000 units per annum. Approved applicants would be required to make a minimum investment of Rs 4,150 crore in line with the provisions of the scheme and will have to give bank guarantee for the same amount.
