Public Works Department’s Engineer-in-Chief Dinesh Kumar confirmed the proposal and said: “We are studying various options for going up to the airport and the Delhi-Gurgaon National Highway number 8.”

Update: 13 Dec 10
NEW DELHI: The Rao Tula Ram flyover opened for two-way general traffic on Sunday evening around 5.30pm amid much apprehension. Though traffic cops claimed that the move would reduce time required to move from IIT to Moti Bagh and vice versa considerably and also benefit traffic moving from Dwarka to IIT, commuters disagreed. With streetlights not functioning till 6.10pm on the stretch, the opening of the flyover was in darkness, adding to the confusion.

Residential demand, not pricing, will drive growth
Money Matters, Livemint, 9 Dec 10
We recently visited Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR), Bangalore, and Mumbai as a part of our GS India Property Tour. We visited about 25 sites at various stages of completion, met management teams and property consultants and made some broad industry-wide observations.
As we had highlighted in our 8 November report, we believe that property prices in pockets of Delhi-NCR and Mumbai in particular seem to have peaked, and we expect limited further price appreciation. Prices in Bangalore have remained fairly stable, but further appreciation should be held in check by high supply potential. We observed higher price inflation in city-centre properties during our tour.

On November 29, it handled its highest ever traffic with 865 operations. Officials say that there has been a drastic increase since the winter schedule kicked in, specially with Air India having introduced hub operations. However, the high numbers could also spell massive delays during fog if both runways are not available for operations.

Reliance Infra’s Delhi-Agra road upgrade still in cul-de-sac
Published: Thursday, Oct 6, 2011, 8:00 IST
By Ashutosh Kumar | Place: New Delhi | Agency: DNA
Reliance Infrastructure’s Rs1,928 crore national highway upgrade project between Delhi and Agra has been stuck over clearance from the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) for more than a year now – a development that is likely to lead to cost escalation in the project.
The 180 km project spanning Haryana and Uttar Pradesh is part of the Phase Five of the National Highways Development Programme, which envisages expansion to six-laning of 6,500 km of highway network.
The phase assumes significance as upgrade of the entire golden quadrilateral (5,846 km) to six-lane standards is a part of it.
Reliance Infrastructure bagged the project from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) in May 2010. The company, however, has still not been able to start construction on the road.
The project is being developed on a build, operate and transfer (BoT), toll basis. Analysts, on conditions of anonymity, peg the cost escalation at round 10% as of now.

दिल्ली-नोएडा के बीच नया पुल
13 Feb 2011, 0721 hrs IST,नवभारत टाइम्स
विनोद शर्मा ।। नोएडा
नोएडा से साउथ दिल्ली, फरीदाबाद और गुड़गांव की कनेक्टिविटी अब और आसान बनने जा रही है। नोएडा अथॉरिटी ओखला बैराज के पास यमुना पर नया ब्रिज बनाने जा रही है। इसका कंस्ट्रक्शन अगले चार महीने में शुरू हो जाएगा। तब तक टेक्निकल प्रोसेस का काम पूरा किया जा रहा है। ब्रिज को पूरा करने का टारगेट 31 दिसंबर 2013 रखा गया है। ब्रिज का पूरा खर्च नोएडा अथॉरिटी उठाएगी।
नोएडा, ग्रेटर नोएडा और यमुना एक्सप्रेस वे अथॉरिटी के चेयरमैन मोहिंदर सिंह ने एनबीटी को बताया कि नया पुल नोएडा से जुड़ने वाले ओखला बैराज और डीएनडी, दोनों से काफी अलग होगा। इस पुल का मेट्रो रूट के साथ तालमेल बैठाया जाएगा। नैशनल बोटैनिकल गार्डन के पास मेट्रो का तिराहा होगा। यहां से एक राह दिल्ली, दूसरी सिटी सेंटर व ग्रेटर नोएडा और तीसरी साउथ दिल्ली की तरफ जाएगी।

उम्मीद के अखिलेश लगाएंगे जिले के विकास को पंख
ग्रेटर नोएडा
प्रदेश में सत्ता परिवर्तन के बाद नोएडा व ग्रेटर नोएडा में कुछ परियोजनाओं के प्रभावित होने की अटकलों का बाजार गर्म है। वहीं कुछ ऐसी परियोजनाओं के भी दिन फिरने वाले हैं, जिनके निर्माण की योजना आठ वर्ष पहले सपा सरकार के कार्यकाल में बनी थी। इन परियोजनाओं पर बसपा शासनकाल के दौरान पिछले पांच वर्ष में कोई काम नहीं हुआ। इनमें प्रमुख रूप से नाइट सफारी और बोड़ाकी रेलवे स्टेशन हैं। सूत्रों के अनुसार, प्रदेश में सत्ता बदलने के बाद जेवर एयरपोर्ट को भी केंद्र सरकार से हरी झंडी मिल सकती है। इन तीन महत्वकांक्षी परियोजनाओं पर काम हुआ, तो विकास के मामले में ग्रेटर नोएडा की तस्वीर बदल जाएंगे।
फॉर्मूला वन कार रेस होने के बाद ग्रेटर नोएडा की पहचान अंतरराष्ट्रीय स्तर पर बनी है, लेकिन बोड़ाकी रेलवे स्टेशन समेत कई योजना ऐसी हैं, जिनके निर्माण से सीधे जनहित को फायदा होगा। इनमें से एक बोड़ाकी रेलवे स्टेशन है। इसके निर्माण की योजना 2004 में सपा सरकार के कार्यकाल में बनाई गई थी। ग्रेटर नोएडा में यह एकमात्र रेलवे स्टेशन हैं। शहर वासियों ने ट्रेन पकड़ने के लिए अभी दिल्ली व गाजियाबाद जाना पड़ता है। प्राधिकरण ने लोगों की सहूलियत के लिए बोड़ाकी में राष्ट्रीय स्तर का स्टेशन बनाने की योजना शुरू की थी। आठ सौ करोड़ रुपये की लागत से 250 एकड़ जमीन पर स्टेशन का निर्माण किया जाना था। यहां पर सभी बड़ी ट्रेनों के ठहराव की योजना बनाई गई थी। इसी तरह देश की पहली और विश्व की पांचवीं नाइट सफारी ग्रेटर नोएडा में बनाने की योजना बनाई गई थी। करीब 250 एकड़ जमीन पर बनने वाली नाइट सफारी के निर्माण पर करीब एक हजार करोड़ रुपये खर्च होने का अनुमान है। ग्रेटर नोएडा प्राधिकरण पैसे की कमी का हवाला देकर इन दोनों योजनाओं पर पिछले पांच वर्ष में कोई काम नहीं किया। सूत्रों का कहना है कि इन दोनों परियोजनाओं के अब दिन फिरने वाले हैं। सपा प्रदेश सरकार शीघ्र इनका निर्माण शुरू कराने का फैसला ले सकती है। बोड़ाकी रेलवे स्टेशन के निर्माण से शहर वासियों को भारी सहूलियत होगी, उन्हें ट्रेन पकड़ने के लिए दिल्ली व गाजियाबाद नहीं जाना पड़ेगा।

'A PPP model for a metro has never succeeded anywhere in the world'
By The Financial Express, 21/11/2010
'A PPP model for a metro has never succeeded anywhere in the world'
E Sreedharan, Managing Director of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation, is the man credited with changing the way Delhi travels. In this Idea Exchange moderated by Executive Editor Unni Rajen Shanker, Sreedharan speaks of how the Metro kept its deadlines and his earlier assignment with Konkan Railways
Unni Rajen Shanker: When you look back at your stint with the Konkan Railways project and now the Delhi Metro, which was a tougher assignment and why?
The tougher and more challenging is Delhi Metro. With Konkan Railways, the main challenge was the length of the line: it passes through four states, a lot of reserved forest land and the most unfriendly, undulating terrain. The other challenge was raising funds. The government had given us one-third of the cost of the project, two-thirds had to be raised from the open market. At that time, the condition of the capital market was very poor, and raising money was very difficult. We could not raise money within the country and had to go to countries such as England, Japan and Korea to raise funds.
For Delhi Metro, money was not a problem. The problem was that it is the capital; whatever we do is directly under the gaze of the people in power?President, Prime Minister, Lt Governor, Chief Minister?everybody is aware of what we do. People here are educated, they are exposed to what other cities, countries have achieved. So expectations are very high. Also, we have to work with the least inconvenience or disturbance to the public. The technology for the Metro is highly complex. It is four times more complicated than railway technology. And tight targets had to be met; in the second phase, the target was the Commonwealth Games.

Difference due to pricing; up by a third in Mumbai since Jan, almost stationary in Delhi.
Sanjay Sanghvi, a real estate consultant in the Dadar area of Central Mumbai, says these days he barely manages to broker two-three apartment deals a month, compared to half-a-dozen almost a year ago.
"It is difficult now. People are reluctant to buy, as prices have gone up sharply. They will buy only if prices come down," says Sanghvi.
Sanghvi says he is flooded with sales calls from developers — including Indiabulls, Lodha Group and DB Realty — building high rises in Lower Parel-Worli-Parel area of south-central Mumbai. Prices in this erstwhile textile hub range from Rs 22,000 to Rs 35,000 a square feet.
Sanghvi's case is just an instance of dwindling home sales in the country's commercial capital, following steep rises in prices over the last one year. According to realty research company PropEquity, home sales in Mumbai have fallen 35 per cent since the beginning of the year and 45 per cent since June this year
But the scene is quite different in the national capital region, or NCR, which comprises New Delhi and its satellite towns such as Noida, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad and Faridabad. Property sales in these areas have gone up nearly 90 per cent since the beginning of the year.
Price is obviously the main factor. Data show that prices in Mumbai city have risen 28 per cent since the beginning of the year and 13 per cent since June.
"During 2008-09, nobody was buying and prices were at reasonable levels. A lot of pent-up demand came into the market after that. But after so much hectic buying and price rise, sales are bound to take a knock," says Anshul Jain, chief executive of DTZ, an international property consultant.
In most areas of the NCR, however, prices have remained stagnant since the beginning of the year. For instance, in Noida, average property price hovers around Rs 3,341 a sq ft, compared to Rs 3,140 in January, a mere five per cent increase. Prices have gone up by 1.48 per cent in New Delhi since the beginning of the year.

Commercial rentals across Delhi-NCR region seen an appreciation in Q3-10: 99acres.com
A look at the commercial rentals of key localities of Delhi, show that there has been a considerable increase in rentals across all localities
Commercial rental prices of key hubs of Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon have increased when we compare rental values of Q3-10(July-Aug-Sept) over Q3-09: says a study by 99acres.com, India’s no1 real estate portal.
Commenting on the same Vineet Singh, Business head, 99acres.com said “As far as the commercial rental trends are concerned, I see rentals increasing over a period of time. Renting of commercial space is preferred vis a vis buying, and lack of new supply coming in immediately in the Delhi- NCR region will result in rental values continuing to escalate.”
A look at the commercial rentals of key localities of Delhi, show that there has been a considerable increase in rentals across all localities. Connaught Place which is the central business district of the city saw rentals escalate by 100% from 75 PSQF(per square feet) in Q3-09 to 150 PSQF in Q3-10 and Greater Kailash which is one of the prime localities of South Delhi has seen rental values upswing by 18% over the same time period. As noted from the below table, Jasola, Nehru Place and Okhla which are key commercial hubs of the city have seen uptrend in rentals within the range of 40% and 45% over a period of one year.
Also, commercial rentals in the satellite towns of Noida and Gurgaon saw increased rentals over a period of one year. Sector 18 in Noida saw rentals move up from 90 PSQF in Q3-09 to 110 PSQF in Q3-10 and Sector 2 and Sector 63 saw massive movement, with rentals moving up by 50% and 66% over the same time period.
Udyog Vihar and Sushant Lok in Gurgaon saw commercial rental values move up by 20% and 18% respectively in Q3-10 over Q3-09 while MG Road and Golf course road saw rentals upswing by 11% and 6% respectively over the same time period
Thus, looking at the rental trends of key commercial hubs in the Delhi-NCR region we see that the commercial market has bounced back and the real estate scenario will remain upbeat in the coming months.

Gurgaon's gift to pedestrians
GURGAON: The Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon (MCG) has finished getting the whole city surveyed for the lack of basic pedestrian facilities, and has earmarked several areas where the need for foot-overbridges is most pressing. The areas which get most footfalls a day were prioritized and the roads which get high-speed traffic movement were short-listed.
For starters, IFFCO Chowk, Rajiv Chowk, Galeria Market, Cyber Green road, Sohna Chowk road and Mahavir Chowk bus station will get the foot overbridges (FOBs).
