MoRTH focuses on corridor-based approach to high-speed highway development

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) is emphasizing a corridor-based approach for highway development, prioritizing consistent standards, user convenience, and logistics efficiency says a report by Axis Securities.

A comprehensive study leveraging GSTN and toll data has identified aĀ high-speed highway corridorĀ network spanning 50,000 km, crucial for India’s vision of becoming a USD 30 trillion economy by 2047.

By the end of FY25, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) aims to operationalize 4,827 km of high-speed corridors, having already reached 4,693 km by December 2024.Major projects like theĀ Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, Delhi-Dehradun Expressway, and Bengaluru-Chennai Expressway are expected to be completed this year, signalling a new era in highway connectivity.

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is setting its sights on transforming the country’s highway infrastructure in 2025, aiming to deliver safer, smoother, and more efficient travel experiences.

Despite challenges, highway construction achieved 4,900 km in the first eight months of FY25, slightly below last year’s performance.

The government’s target of constructing 10,400 km of national highways this fiscal year remains ambitious, with NHAI tasked with completing 5,000 km.

Toll collection is also on an upward trajectory, with 2024 collections likely exceeding Rs70,000 crore. October 2024 witnessed record electronic toll collections of Rs6,115 crore, highlighting the impact of increased logistics and personal travel during the festive season.

In FY24, NHAI’s asset monetization efforts yielded a record Rs40,000 crore, reducing its debt from Rs3.3 trillion to Rs2.76 trillion by December 2024. Monetization strategies included Toll Operate and Transfer (TOT), Infrastructure Trusts (InVIT), and securitization via Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs).

While the sector shows long-term promise, road construction companies face short-term revenue challenges. Axis Securities reports a 3 per cent year-on-year revenue dip in Q3FY25, with EBITDA and profit after tax declining by 4 per cent and 10.7 per cent, respectively.However, the sector is buoyed by strong order books and diversification into non-road projects such as water supply, irrigation, solar energy, and battery storage services.

The government plans to award 12,900 km of highway projects in FY25, a 50 per cent increase over the previous year, supported by the National Infrastructure Pipeline and higher capital expenditure in the Union Budget.

This, coupled with innovations like satellite navigation-based toll systems, positions the infrastructure sector for robust growth.

TheĀ PunjabĀ govt has purchased 167Ā flatsĀ situated in Purab Premium Apartments, Sector-88, Mohali. The dwellings will be allotted to the IAS, IPS, PPS, and other administrative officers posted at Mohali. Flats are divided into categories and will be allotted as per the officers’ standing. House rent is to be paid by the officer.

The Punjab govt already deposited Rs 38,85,42,000, including 2% cancer cess and 2% Purab Premium Apartment Corpus Fund, with GMADA against the total payment of Rs 1,00,48,50,000. The balance amount is to be paid either in a lump sum without any interest within 60 days from the date of issue of this Allotment Letter or in 8 half-yearly equated instalments along with interest at the rate of 9.5% per annum.

DC Aashika Jain said, “Allotment of 167 Residential Built-up Apartments (Type 1, 2, and 3) in Purab Premium Apartments, Sector-88, Mohali, has already been taken into possession. With reference to the approval accorded by Chief Minister, Punjab on August 29, 2023, for the allotment of 167 Apartments (Type-I: 47, Type-II: 60, Type-III: 60), type-2 and type-3 have been taken into possession and made ready for allotment.” She added that this allotment is made under the provisions of the Punjab Regional & Town Planning & Development Act, 1995, Rules, Regulations & Policies made thereunder and as amended from time to time.

PMC approves 16 high-rise building proposals in 2024

PMC approves 16 high-rise building proposals in 2024

High-rise buildingĀ approvals inĀ PMCĀ limits reached a new high in 2024, with 16 proposals cleared ā€” the highest annual tally since 2016 when the civic body started clearing such proposals.

The number marked a 78% increase from the nine approvals in the previous year, indicating rising demand forĀ vertical development.

According to the Unified Development Control and Promotion Rules (UDCPR), a high-rise building is defined as a construction with a height of 24 metres or move above the average surrounding ground level.

The majority of the buildings approved by PMC’s high-rise committee are taller than 100 metres, with the tallest being 160.45 metres in height. The projects were coming up in Somwar Peth, Balewadi, Baner, Mundhwa, Kharadi and Bopodi areas.PMC officials said the civic authorities granted permissions for high-rises after strict scrutiny of the project sites and the availability of basic infrastructure like roads of 24 metres or above in width. “The meetings of the high-rise committees are held regularly. It helps in the better assessment of the proposals. The ground-level assessment is done before approving the proposals,” Amol Bahadkar, a senior official from the PMC’s building permissions department and a member of PMC’s high-rise committee, said.

TheĀ Pune Municipal CorporationĀ (PMC) approved 41 high-rise building proposals between 2016 and 2023. “The twin pipeline system is mandatory for such projects. One of the pipelines must be dedicated to treated water and its supply. The absence of facilities and proper infrastructure was a huge obstacle in clearing such projects earlier. However, after road widening and augmentation of infrastructure, the approval process gathered pace in the last couple of years,” a senior PMC official said.

Shailesh Dandane of the Indian Institute of Architects, Pune Centre, said the high-rises were good for growing cities like Pune, but they should be planned properly. “The densification can be done properly if high-rises are promoted. The basic civic facilities can be made available to the larger section of people in a smaller space in vertical growth, but it should be backed by properĀ infrastructure development,” he said.

Senior urban planner Ramchandra Gohad said if high-rises were allowed without proper scrutiny, they could put unnecessary burden on traffic, sewage and water supply. “The development of supportive infrastructure is a must either before the project approval or during the construction process. The infrastructure should never be an afterthought as it can sendĀ urban planningĀ haywire.

The management of municipal services will not be possible if high-rises are cleared without proper study of the ground reality,” he said.AdvtA section of citizens said the surge in high-rise buildings whiffed of PMC’s ā€˜greed’ by making money through approvals. “The Nagar Road areas are already suffering from problems like traffic and water woes, with the societies relying heavily on tankers. If the big towers are built in such a scenario, the residents will face a major challenge in the future,” Sanjeevkumar Patil, a resident of the Nagar Road area, said.

The Commercial Real Estate Playbook: Lessons from 2024 to Win in 2025

The Commercial Real Estate Playbook: Lessons from 2024 to Win in 2025

There has been a revolution in the real estate CRE market in India in the last few years.  The pandemic-related havoc subjected to the commercial real estate segment and rapid adoption of hybrid working patterns change and the speed of these changes. Stakeholders-developers, investors, and occupiers-must learn lessons as well as learn strategies for succeeding in the commercial real estate space by 2025. Let’s examine the lessons of 2024 and how those lessons can be applied to a successful upcoming year.

1. Embrace Flexibility in Design and Lease Models

The very clear and evident change that happened in 2024 will be the ongoing trend of hybrid remote employment. The office no longer has to be a rigid, confined, fixed space but is instead one that must accommodate a wide range of dynamic work styles.  The “fixed desk” paradigm is gradually becoming obsolete and has given way to agile workspaces, coworking spaces, and hybrid forms.

Tip for 2025:  As we move into 2025, flexible office layouts and leasing arrangements are going to become all-important for real estate developers and landlords. Even in today’s world, tenants are looking for leases that provide much shorter-term commitments and the ability to upscale or downscale activity whenever required to meet their evolving business needs. Such buildings will be preferred by tenants for the rearrangement of space, either through movable wall features, modular designs, or co-working options.

2. Focus on Sustainability and ESG Practices

Sustainability is no longer just a fancy term in real estate; it is a demand. Sustainability was the main driving idea in 2024, with developers and investors adding strong importance to eco-friendly, energy-optimized designs. There has been an increasing need for buildings to be consistent with global-level sustainable standard requirements, like LEED, GRIHA, or WELL, mainly because of tenant requests, government regulations, and international ESG (environmental, social, Governance) factors.

Tip for 2025: Despite the growing wave of ESG concerns across the world, India is witnessing the transformation of the commercial real estate sector. An energy-efficient technology and sustainable material will be required by the developers to consider the long-term effects of environmental impact. Green buildings will not only entice tenants but may have better returns over time as operational costs and tenant satisfaction dwindle. As these ratings become more directly tied to capital flow and tenant retention, investors must include them in their property evaluations.

3. Technology Integration for Smarter Spaces

Revolutionary changes have occurred in the role of technology in commercial real estate. From smart building technologies to AI-driven space management tools, how technology transforms commercial real estate has transformed. In 2024, most of the technologies that came into adoption, such as IoT and automation, will be completely integrated into the building efficiency and tenant experience.

Tip for 2025: There will be a need to develop and implement smart, tech-enhanced buildings with integrated IoT systems for the sake of energy effectiveness, security, and tenants. Digital infrastructure such as high-speed internet, cloud-based meeting rooms, and virtual collaboration tools will remain non-negotiable for modern commercial spaces. Integration of AI will further enhance building management, such as predictive maintenance and tenant engagement, which can also cut costs.

4. Strategic Location Selection: The Suburban Shift

2024 has shown that tenants, particularly in IT and technology fields, are increasingly looking to the suburbs or other peripheral areas for office space beyond traditional city centers. With greater adoption of remote working, enterprises are beginning to question the need to maintain office presence in the heart of the downtown city business districts (CBDs). Other areas offer reduced rentals, better infrastructure, and a higher quality of life for employees who do not commute anymore.

Tip for 2025: The future suburban markets are the areas where developers and investors need to concentrate most. There is a recorded shift of businesses from prime CBD areas toward low overheads and easy sourcing of skilled labor in Pune, Noida, Gurugram, and Bengaluru leading to more businesses relocating into the cities. Suburban office facilities with easy access, nice amenities, and bigger floor plates will become an appealing solution for both renters and buyers.

5. Reimagining Retail and Mixed-Use Spaces

Offices and spaces have transformed, whereas the retail industry has battled hard due to the rapid growth of e-commerce. In 2024, however, these retail establishments re-emerge in a new format. Consumers will be looking for experience-based shopping, entertainment, and lifestyle destinations. Polyvalent mixed-use developments now date back to the past, when they started to reappear combining residential, retail, and commercial.

Tip for 2025: The developers now concentrate on hybrid spaces with experience-driven amenities that are in retail, office, and residential offerings. Retail must not be a mere shopping place; it should also serve as a place for entertainment, socialization, and leisure. Mixed-use developments will surely continue to gain profits over time, mostly in high-demand urban centers.

The Indian commercial real estate market in 2025 will demand agility, innovation, and innovative thinking. To keep pace with an increasingly dynamic market, developers, investors, and occupiers all need to adopt flexibility, sustainability, and technology. Through the process of learning from 2024’s trends and responding to the changing needs of enterprises and consumers, actors in the commercial real estate ecosystem are poised to capitalize on the future year and beyond.

Grow Tent vs. Greenhouse: Which is Better for Your Plants?

Grow Tent vs. Greenhouse: Which is Better for Your Plants?

When it comes to extending your growing season, you have two popular options: a grow tent and a greenhouse. Both are designed to create an optimized environment for your plants, but each has unique features and advantages that make them suitable for different types of gardening. So, which one is the best choice for your plants? In this blog, weā€™ll break down the key differences between grow tents and greenhouses. Letā€™s dive in.

What is a Grow Tent?

A grow tent is a compact, portable, and enclosed structure made with durable fabric, often lined with reflective materials like Mylar to maximize light efficiency. Itā€™s designed to create a controlled environment for plants by regulating factors like light, temperature, humidity, and airflow. Grow tents are typically used indoors, making them ideal for those with limited space or those looking to grow plants year-round, regardless of outdoor weather conditions.

What is a Greenhouse?

A greenhouse is a structure, typically made of glass or plastic, that allows sunlight to filter through, providing natural light for plants. It can range from small, portable units to large, permanent installations, all designed to shield plants from harsh weather while creating a controlled growing environment. While greenhouses are most commonly used outdoors or in gardens, smaller versions can also be set up indoors in certain cases.

Key Differences Between Grow Tents and Greenhouses

Location and Space

Grow tents are ideal for indoor gardening and small spaces. They fit easily into closets, spare rooms, or corners of your home, making them perfect for those with limited outdoor space or those who want to grow plants year-round. They provide a controlled environment in tight spaces like apartments or basements.

Greenhouses are generally designed for outdoor use and require more space. They are ideal for larger-scale gardening projects and are typically set up in yards or gardens. Smaller versions can be used indoors but need more room compared to grow tents.

Lighting

Grow tents rely on artificial lighting like LED or fluorescent lights to provide the right light spectrum for plants. The reflective interior maximizes light efficiency, allowing you to create optimal growing conditions indoors.

Greenhouses mainly use natural sunlight, filtering through glass or plastic walls to nourish plants. While additional lighting may be needed on cloudy days or during winter, sunlight is the primary light source, making greenhouses more energy-efficient than grow tents.

Temperature and Humidity Control

Grow tents offer precise control over temperature, humidity, and airflow, allowing you to tailor the environment to the specific needs of your plants. Many grow tents include built-in ventilation and exhaust systems for efficient airflow.

While greenhouses can also regulate temperature and humidity, they rely more on natural conditions. Temperature and humidity control can be more challenging, especially in extreme weather. In some cases, additional heating or cooling systems may be needed.

Cost and Energy Usage

The initial cost of a grow tent is typically lower than a greenhouse, especially when considering the smaller size. However, you may need to factor in the cost of artificial lighting and energy for heating or cooling.

Greenhouses may require a higher upfront investment, especially if you want a larger or more permanent structure. However, they tend to be more energy-efficient since they use natural sunlight and reduce reliance on artificial lighting.

Maintenance and Durability

Grow tents are made from durable fabric and designed to be easy to assemble and disassemble. They require minimal maintenance but may need periodic cleaning to remove dust and debris.

Greenhouses are generally made from more permanent materials, such as glass or plastic. They may require more maintenance, particularly if the structure is exposed to harsh weather conditions, which could cause wear and tear over time.

Which is Better for Your Plants?

Both grow tents and greenhouses have distinct advantages, and the choice depends largely on your specific needs and circumstances:

Choose a Grow Tent if:

  • You have limited space or are gardening indoors.
  • You want to control environmental factors precisely, including light, temperature, and humidity.
  • You plan to grow highly sensitive plants that require specific conditions.
  • You are looking for a portable, cost-effective solution that is easy to set up and maintain.

Choose a Greenhouse if:

  • You have ample outdoor space and want to grow plants in natural sunlight.
  • You want to reduce energy costs by utilizing free, abundant sunlight.
  • You plan to grow larger-scale plants or crops and need more space.
  • You are willing to manage the fluctuating outdoor temperatures and weather.

Conclusion

Both grow tents and greenhouses offer unique benefits, and the best choice depends on your specific gardening goals, available space, and the type of plants you wish to grow. If youā€™re gardening indoors, have limited space, or need precise control over the growing environment, a grow tent is likely the better choice. On the other hand, if you have the space for a larger setup and prefer to take advantage of natural sunlight, a greenhouse might be the perfect solution.
