Mumbai Metro | Bombay | MH

At present, the city has a 12km Metro line (VersovaAndheri-Ghatkopar), which opened in June 2014, and work is in progress on three routes: Colaba-BandraSeepz (Metro 3); AndheriDahisar (Metro 7); and Dahisar-DN Nagar (Metro 2A).The government has set a deadline of 2019 for Metro 2A and Metro 7. The first phase of Metro 3 is likely to be commissioned by 2021.

The commissioning of just Metro 3 will help in the reduction of 6.6 lakh vehicle trips a day. Experts say it would help decrease 6,00010,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year, besides bringing about an equal amount of reduction of particulate matter, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide. An expert said this will be the equivalent of planting 2.54.5 lakh full-grown trees across Mumbai every year.

Capitalism made Gurgaon. That's what capitalism does, it creates, develops, it unleashes potential.

Capitalism works for India, just attend a 'traditional' arranged marriage.

To wit, the earlier post re: Mumbai metro comes to almost $ 10 Billion.
New Delhi metro is scheduled to cost many times more, don't quote me but $ 100 Billion.

As Delhi and Mumbai revamp their infra. in rapidly emerging India, it is interesting for me to note that these 2 mega cities have not even bothered with a new airport. Revamping 1/2 century old airports and transport systems with new roads, bridges and upgraded mass train systems and a new metro in Delhi's case is good enough.

Cheap Global finance, paying projects and India's bull market image combined with Modi's savvy economic mgmt. and plain good luck re: oil price crash, spectrum sales, Coal Block sales, demonitisation, GST have each added approx. $ 40 billion per head to the exchequer for a total :

• $ 40x2 (Crude Oil) + 40 + 40 + 40 + 40 = $ 240 Billion

Solar, Wind, Gas and Make-in-India re: defence can ring in mega savings too.

Exports and taxes (and remittances excluded) bring $ 500 Billion/yr. so big infra. loans are a paying proposition with a young population.

Point being, India's infra. boom is starting to show in Delhi-Mumbai also along with all other parts of India, smaller cities being more nimble except UP where things are coming along fine with the new govt.

India will end up with the world's best infra. in 10 yrs. time ! No joke, we all know how France leapfrogged both UK and Germany with metro trains, high speed trains and even Concorde planes along with the usual roads, water and sewers. Spain too caught up in Europe.

1.3 trillion projection just in housing investment over next decade or so. Juggernaut is just commencing.

Pakistan Sidelining English?

My opinion is that this is politics 101 as usual.

I think it's a sad day for Pakistan because English is a nominal and practical advantage for Pakistanis from the sad era of Colonialism, not a tragic hangover - that would be the Pak. Faujj.
Sorry to push a moot point specially on this forum, but Pak Faujj is even more Colonial then the Indian Army, however; both are in a similar time warp

Re: English, look at India who are making $ 100's Billions from English enabled call center, programming, BPO, Software, IT & engineering businesses with Globalization.

What's the point of replacing 1 colonial and Global language English with another import, this time from arch rival India -Urdu. Shouldn't Punjabi be the more appropriate 'people's choice' official language. Contentious issue !

Major airports In India

Re: maps and airports, that map above is a disaster. Nagpur is a major airport in the center of India, Amritsar is an International airport on the border with Pak., almost a suburban airport to Lahore International. Many more international airports like Lucknow are a going concern for some time already.

Invest in India

• - an un-biased, professional and wholly Indian Financial advisor; pardon the accent and focus on what he's saying, the sector's and even Co.'s:

I personally believe this is the investment opportunity of a lifetime. It's an investment in a rock of ages civilisation which has made it through dark days of Mughal-Colonial-Cold War oppression to something else. Important point is that when China was emerging 15-20 yrs. ago, Chinese opacity made it impossible for anyone but insiders to invest in China.

• India is emerging in the full transparent glow of a nasty media and a baby like internet. The whole world including Canadian pension funds; among the most orthodox investors in the world; are investing in the open India investment story.

It's a good idea to profit from a rare growth economy based on rock solid fundamental's of domestic demand driven manufacturing, good technology and sunrise industries exports and hardly any imports if you discount crude oil, gold-&-diamonds and electronic sub-assemblies.

1. The money in oil is in refining and all the profits from crude import go to the govt. by major tax hit. No loss there since the Indian govt. and Indian Co.'s own the world's largest refineries with the world's best profit margins.
   
   
2. Gold-&-Diamond imports are also good for govt. as India is the largest re-exporter of diamonds in the world after value-addition, and gold is gold, the more the merrier.
   
   
3. Electronics imports like cell-phone, notepad and laptop mother boards screens and solar panels are the major loss leader in the import bill along with defence hardware. Both see local value addition and taxes to govt. and both have local production as well; it's a demand-supply issue.

Make money!

This looks really good. It seems they took a leaf out of Singapore East Coast parkway, adding the greenery next to road as well ....though the sides seem to be reversed.

Construction of the western coastal freeway finally begins in October this year. It's about time!
