Earning Rs 20 lakh annually not enough to buy home in Gurgaon? Techie shares conversation with friend; post goes viral
A social media post has sparked debate over the skyrocketing real estate prices in Indian cities. On X, a techie named Akhilesh shared that his friend, despite earning Rs 20 lakh annually, still can't afford a home in Gurugram. He claimed that buying a house with decent amenities would leave his friend living paycheck to paycheck—highlighting how home ownership is becoming increasingly out of reach, even for high earners. Check full text of post here: Was having a discussion with a friend in Gurgaon. His ctc is Rs 20 lakh. his in-hand is around 1.2 lakh per month after taxes, epf, and deductions. he doesn't splurge. no car. no kids. just a waifu. every project he visits starts at 2.5 crore. the brochures talk about infinity pools, zen gardens, italian marble, biometric lifts. if he buys this, he has to live paycheck to paycheck. no buffer. no vacations. no emergencies. he earns more than maybe 95% of india. still can't buy a home in his city. the market is not broken. it's working exactly as designed. for someone else. people under this are saying that if your friend doesn't have a budget, he shouldn't buy in gurgaon. he should buy in some tier 2 or tier 3 city where flats are cheap. if we're allowed to make irrational arguments, i might as well ask my friend to buy a flat in dhaka because it's even cheaper there. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like War Thunder - Register now for free and play against over 75 Million real Players War Thunder Play Now Check post here — akhileshutup (@akhileshutup) How social media reacted? "It's wild how even a high salary feels inadequate in certain cities. Many people are in the same boat, juggling expenses while trying to save. It makes you question what success means nowadays," wrote one user. "It is same story everywhere. In Hyd a Triplex villa outside ORR quotes min 2.5CR. There are villas bein sold for 9 CR, not sure what on earth these villas have. If one wants an apartment prices range from 1.5 to 3CR basis location. Buying a home in not a common man's dream any more. Real estate market is completely in the hands of black money hoarders," commented another. Live Events "Gurgaon has brand new flats strating from as low as 65 lacs for 2BHK. Humans are aspiring high with shallow pockets,' expressed a third user. "With this money he can go to his ancestral home(most probably in a village), he can built a lutyen bungalow there with this much money. Clean air,clean water, Grandeur home, social life,Stick with the cultural roots, better health, there are countless benefits," suggested another. "Not just your friend, even ppl whose CTC is 50lakh couldn't afford to buy apartments, forget about villas. For a low per capita country like India the real estate prices are in sky. Yet every project is sold out in pre-launch. Who & how they are buying is a mystery," commented one user.

China says willing to improve communication with countries on rare earth controls
China's commerce ministry said on Saturday that it has approved a certain number of compliant rare earth export applications and will continue to refine its examination and approval process. The ministry also expressed willingness to enhance communication with other countries over export controls, according to a statement on its website, Reuters reported. The announcement comes at a time when Indian automakers are facing worsening shortages of rare earth magnets , critical components for electric vehicles (EVs) and other high-tech industries. According to Bloomberg, Beijing has turned down at least two recent applications for India-bound shipments of rare earth magnets, raising fears of an imminent disruption in Indian automobile production . Industry and government officials told Bloomberg that while shipments to the German and U.S. units of a global firm were cleared, the same request to its Indian arm was rejected. Since April 4—when China began enforcing tighter curbs on exports of seven rare earth elements—supplies to Indian auto parts manufacturers have been stuck at Chinese ports. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villa For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas in Dubai | Search ads Learn More Undo These new controls require importers to certify that the magnets will not be used for defense purposes or re-exported to the U.S. The new end-user certification process can take at least 45 days and is now facing a global backlog. As per the Bloomberg report, at least 30 Indian applications endorsed by the Indian government are still awaiting Chinese approval, while over 10 applications from other countries have reportedly been cleared. According to a May 28 presentation by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), no Indian applications have received final approval from China's commerce ministry despite many having secured embassy endorsements. Live Events 'Even if one magnetised part is missing, the vehicle cannot be built,' SIAM warned in the presentation, adding that some Indian firms may consider shifting operations to China if the supply crunch continues. The squeeze has heightened concern among Indian automakers. 'The rare earth situation is a very difficult one,' Bajaj Auto 's Executive Director Rakesh Sharma told analysts. 'Supplies and stocks are getting depleted as we speak, and if there's no relief in shipments, production will be seriously impaired in July.' To address the growing crisis, a delegation of Indian businesses is planning to visit Chinese counterparts this month with help from the Indian Embassy in Beijing. The embassy has reached out to China's commerce ministry, seeking expedited clearance of pending applications. A meeting was recently held at the Indian Prime Minister's Office to discuss options for resolving the impasse. Indian officials have advised manufacturers to explore alternative supply chains and consider local refining capacities—though such solutions are long-term in nature. Meanwhile, the Indian government is also encouraging firms to explore ferrite magnets or magnet-free designs, though these come with compromises in cost and performance. As a result, some companies are considering stop-gap measures such as importing motors or shifting production to fossil-fuel-powered vehicles. With inputs from agencies

Vietnamese automaker VinFast bets big on India's fledgling EV market
VinFast, the first automaker from Vietnam to expand into the global market, is set to make inroads into the Indian EV space with production at its plant in Tamil Nadu's Thoothukudi district set to begin in July. The Vietnamese car brand, which currently sells its products in 16 countries across North America, Europe and Asia, will manufacture the VF7 and VF6 models in Thoothukudi, for which bookings will open in June. Company sources said the production capacity will be 50,000 vehicles per year initially, with the potential to reach 1,50,000 to meet future demand. 'India is a promising and growing market. EV adoption is comparatively low; so, we decided to take this opportunity to enter the market,' VinFast Asia CEO Pham Sanh Chau said. Mr. Chau said VinFast wanted to position itself as a manufacturer of premium EVs with competitive pricing and excellent after-sales service. When asked about its USP, Mr. Chau said, 'We don't want to just sell cars. We want to bring in the whole EV ecosystem.' He said VinFast would build a network of dealers/showrooms, authorised repair shops and charging points; promote green mobility; and facilitate buy-back or swapping of old cars with newer models. Stressing the importance of localisation, he said it helped companies bring down cost, secure government incentives, and be more competitive. VinFast was committed to localisation, he said, adding that it was already sourcing some products from Indian suppliers. Dismissing the notion that EVs were too expensive for the common man, he said it may be the case with some brands, but not all. Mr. Chau said the switch from internal combustion engine (ICE) cars to EVs was irreversible. 'I believe that one day, we all will be using EVs, and all gas stations will be turned into charging points. The future of EVs is bright,' he said. Mr. Chau, who previously served as Ambassador of Vietnam to India, was optimistic about the development of ties between the two countries. 'It [bilateral trade] has reached $15 billion. I hope it will grow to $20 billion,' he said. 'Our activities and investments in India will deepen the economic ties between the two countries. We are bringing the largest investment from Vietnam into India now,' he added. Quoting former Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Van Dong, who said the relationship between India and Vietnam was 'as clear as the blue sky without any clouds', Mr. Chau said cooperation between the two countries will continue irrespective of geopolitical challenges.
