The DIMTS has to complete the studies in six months and suggest locations for implementation.

Metro home prices take a dip on tighter liquidity
The vision of owning a house is slowly getting clearer for buyers as residential real estate prices are beginning to see the promised correction on the back of hardening interest rates and poor transaction volumes.
Real estate services firm Jones Lang LaSalle India (JLL) says newly-launched residential projects are recording an average 15% lower prices, especially in Delhi and Mumbai ? markets witnessing oversupply in many pockets.
The higher the prices, more the correction, with Gurgaon, Greater Noida, Navi Mumbai and Bangalore as prime examples, where prices jumped 30-35% last year.
Is buying land a good investment?
A plot of land can offer better returns in the long term compared with built property, but purchasing it can be problematic if you are not vigilant.
AMIT SHANBAUG
For 32-year-old Sumana Chatterjee and her husband Sumitro Mukherjee, 33, it was a fruitful end to house hunting when they bought a plot of land in Vadodara, Gujarat. However, a few months after paying the full amount, the couple was shocked when they received a stop work notice from the court on the construction of their bungalow. “We found that there was another claimant for the land and that the property was under litigation,” says Chatterjee.

Update 14 Feb 2011
The Bubble May be Set To Burst Again
Property prices in major Indian cities, including Mumbai and New Delhi, are set to slump by as much as 30% in the next three-six months as rising interest rates and tighter lending norms have led to a sharp drop in demand for homes.
"Softening in prices would begin in a month or two if sales continue to be low," said Adhidev Chattopadhyay, an analyst at Mumbai-based Edelweiss Securities Ltd. A Credit Suisse note on 19 January forecast that property sales in India may decline unless prices are cut 10-30%.

Barapullah-III extension among 5 ‘critical roads’ proposed for city
Express News Service | New Delhi | August 21, 2014 2:03 am
The Union Ministry of Urban Development (UD) has proposed the construction of five critical roads to decongest Delhi and improve connectivity within the National Capital Region.
One of the five roads proposed is the extension of Barapullah phase-III. It will run from East Delhi to the airport, connecting the Dwarka Expressway.
Another of the “five critical roads” proposed is Urban Extension Road-II, which will connect North Delhi with the airport and Gurgaon. Once this road is built, commuters will be able to avoid congested areas of Central and South Delhi such as Connaught Place and Rao Tula Ram Marg. “This road will also decongest the Ring Road, especially the Rao Tula Ram Marg stretch,’’ an official said.

DMRC not game for route change
HT Correspondent, Hindustan Times
Gurgaon, August 13, 2012
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has ruled out any change in the route plan of the proposed high-speed Metro line connecting Iffco Chowk in Gurgaon and IGI Airport. The DMRC has also no plans to add new stations on the line.
The DMRC will soon submit the revised detailed
project report (DPR) to the Haryana government, said a senior DMRC official.
"We are in the last stages of finalising the DPR and hopefully submitting it to the state government in a week or two," he added.
It's a serious blow to Old Gurgaon residents who have been demanding a change in the proposed alignment.
"We will launch an agitation if the government fail to address our demand," said Ashok Taneja, a resident of old Gurgaon.
On February 3 this year, the DMRC had submitted the project report of the 12-km long high-speed Metro route with three metro stations in between IGI Airport and Iffco Chowk to the state government.
Under pressure from Old Gurgaon residents, the district officials raised some reservations to the project, saying the proposed link would serve no purpose to a large number of people living in the old city, or in the west side of the expressway.
The district officials suggested some changes: Divert the proposed route from Palam Vihar towards Rajiv Chowk along Atul Kataria and Sheetla Mata roads. Old Gurgaon residents had given representations to Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda twice.
The DMRC said the Haryana government should plan other routes to cater to the needs of Old Gurgaon residents.

Why India may see several ‘little Singapore’ smart cities in 5 years
18 Aug 2014
The government has already initiated concrete steps to implement Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s promise of building 100 ‘smart cities’ – eco-friendly cities which use innovative Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for efficient delivery of public services and infrastructure.
PM Modi’s pet idea of building 100 ‘smart cities’ would need massive financial resources and technological prowess. For both these prerequisites, India will have to look up to foreign countries. Many countries have expressed their interest towards this endeavour of the new Indian government.
The Modi government has allocated Rs 7,060 crore (a little over $1.1 billion) in its maiden union budget to kickstart the smart cities project.
Singapore has emerged as a major foreign player in the Indian scheme of things in this context.
The government plans to deliver three smart cities by 2019, all of which will be part of the larger project called Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC). These smart cities, scheduled to be completed by 2019, are Dholera, Shendra-Bidkin and Global City.

NEW DELHI: The Kalindi bypass might now be constructed with some of its stretches elevated on the lines of the Barapullah road, according to Public Works Department (PWD). The project conceptualized in 2002 landed in trouble over issues such as land acquisition and construction near the riverbank. The civic body claims that the elevated stretches will be the answer to all these problems. PWD is also looking at re-alignment of the proposed stretch and will soon hire a consultant to prepare a feasibility report.

MLAs demand Monorail in their constituencies
NEW DELHI, April 2, 2013
A detailed survey of Delhi will be conducted by engineering consultants RITES Ltd. to check the feasibility for setting up Monorail facilities, said Delhi Transport Minister Ramakant Goswami on Monday while responding to the demands made by several MLAs in the Delhi Assembly for extending this light rail transit system to their constituency.
The discussion began with a question put forth under ‘Starred Questions’ by BJP MLA from Sangam Vihar Dr. S.C.L. Gupta who wanted to know the parameters prescribed by the Government to operate Monorail facilities in different areas in the city. He also asked if Monorail will be introduced in Sangam Vihar to promote tourism in the area. “A Monorail facility should be brought about to link Sangam Vihar to Mehrauli since 20 lakh people use the Mehrauli-Gurgaon Road daily,” he said.
