New Delhi, Feb 13 () Union minister Nitin Gadkari on Thursday urged industry players to join hands with the government for the proposed electric lane on Rs 1.03 lakh crore Delhi-Mumbai Expressway while promising to provide policy support to serious players. He said while a stretch of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway is planned as electric lane, the Delhi-Jaipur part of the 1,320 km expressway will be completed before Diwali. "Indian investors should come forward for investing in electric lane stretch of the Delhi-Mumbai expressway to be built at a cost of Rs 1.03 lakh crore within three years," the Road Transport and Highways Minister said while addressing a conference on 'Developing a Roadmap for Low Carbon &amp; Sustainable Mobility in India' by FICCI here. The minister said the government is ready to provide policy support to serious investors and also appealed them to come forward in the field of alternative fuel including bio-CNG and electric vehicle. The could cut on India's huge Rs 7 lakh crore crude imports, he said. Stressing on modern transport infrastructure, he said he will also take up the issue of electric highways during his ensuing visit to Sweden this month. The minister also said that electric vehicles have become popular among Indian companies and start-ups, and days were not far-off when India will be a key player in export of electric vehicles. He also said that water transport was one of the viable mobility solutions and added that metros could be successful in tier 2 and 3 cities. Besides Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, work has been initiated on six other express highways out of proposed 22 projects, he said. The entire Delhi Mumbai Express Highway will be completed in the next three years, the minister said, adding that land acquisition for the project has been completed and resulted in savings to the tune of Rs 16,000 crore on it being on a new alignment. "We have saved about Rs 16,000 crore on land acquisition front alone as land could be acquired at a cost of Rs 80 lakh per hectare for the project," he said, adding that the expressway will unlock new economic opportunities in hinterland districts of Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat.

Realty major <keyword id="438918" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Emaar-India">Emaar India</keyword> will invest Rs 2,000 crore over the next two years to complete all its ongoing 50 projects across the country, a top company official told <keyword id="6367495" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="PTI">PTI</keyword>. Dubai-based <keyword id="83201" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Emaar-Properties">Emaar Properties</keyword> entered the Indian real estate markin 2005 in partnership with India's MGF Development and invested Rs 8,500 crore through the joint venture firm <keyword id="44918" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="EMAAR">Emaar</keyword> MGF Land. In April 2016, Emaar <keyword id="53077" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Properties">Properties</keyword> announced its decision to end the 11-year-old JV through demerger. Since then, its Indian venture Emaar India is focusing on execution of ongoing projects, according to PTI. "Our focus in on delivery. We are putting in place all components required to complete our ongoing projects. We have increased the number of labourers on sites to over 10,000 from 1,000 a year ago," Emaar India CEO Sanjay <keyword id="35" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Malhotra">Malhotra</keyword> told PTI. The company has about 50 ongoing projects in Gurgaon, Jaipur, Lucknow, Mohali and Chennai comprising about 10,000 housing units. "We have got completion certificates for 2,000 apartments since July last year and these units are being handed over to customers. We are targeting to hand over all 10,000 units in the next two years," Malhotra said. Asked about investment, he said the company will infuse Rs 1,000 crore each in the current and next financial year on construction. Emaar India's CEO said the company has raised Rs 2,500 crore debt in last one year, of which about Rs 1,500 crore was used to replace costlier debt and rest on construction. The company currently has a debt of about Rs 5,000 crore. It would be raising more debts for construction purpose but there would be no equity infusion from parent Emaar Properties. Emaar India has brought in a new project management team to expedite projects. The uncertainty over the JV delayed execution of projects. On unsold stocks, Malhotra said the company does not have much unsold inventories. "We will be having unsold stocks of about Rs 600-700 crore, mostly on <keyword id="6385900" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Dwarka-Expressway">Dwarka Expressway</keyword> in Gurgaon," he said. In line with market trend, the company has cut price by 10-15 per cent in projects on Dwarka Expressway to clear unsold stocks. Asked about new launches, Malhotra said the company could launch one or two projects later this year depending on the market condition. Considering the current slow market condition, he said the company "will make what we can sell". The demand currently is for apartments of lower ticket size, he said. Real estate market, especially housing sector, is facing a multi-year demand slowdown that has led to significant delays in delivery of projects and forced consumers to protest and even file legal cases. On the demerger, Malhotra said he expects the process to be completed by the end of this year. Emaar Properties had in April last year said it has "agreed to take steps for the reorganisation of Emaar MGF Land by way of scheme of arrangement (demerger)". The reorganisation was being done for greater focus on its Indian operations and for the purpose of developing the potential for further growth and expansion of the business, it had said then. The projects and land bank have been divided between the two partners. Emaar India has a land bank of 6,000 acres for future developments.

If all goes well, Delhi might soon be connected to Jaipur through a super expressway. This will reduce the travel time drastically. Highways minister Nitin Gadkari announced this at Dausa in Rajasthan. 
 
The distance between Delhi and Jaipur is 260 km. The proposed super expressway, between the outskirts of Gurgaon and Jaipur, will cover 200 km. It will be impossible to cover this distance in 90 minutes sticking to the notified speed limit, which is 100 kmph for expressways in India (for highways it's 90). Gadkari said the government will notify different speed limits for such super expressways, according to a news report by The Times of India. 
 
Presently it takes almost 6 hours to reach Jaipur. While Haryana government has cleared lands, Gadkari urged Vasundhara Raje to sort out lands in Rajasthan. 
 
G adkari told TOI in Delhi that the present speed limit was fixed at 100 kmph as the country has very few expressways. "We will revise the maximum speed limit. The proposed expressway will take off from the outskirts of Gurgaon and join Jaipur Ring Road (on the outer periphery of the city). We expect this total stretch to be around 200 km. Since it will be access controlled, one can maintain high speed all along the expressway," he said.

New Delhi, Mar 3 () A parliamentary panel on Tuesday suggested lower GST rate for the automobile segment at least till the revival of the sector, and uniform road tax across all states against the backdrop of negative growth in the automobile production since July 2018. A parliamentary panel had examined the Demands for Grants 2020-21 of Department of Heavy Industry (DHI) and tabled its report in Parliament. The automobile industry in India is one of the largest and fastest-growing sector and constitutes 27 per cent of industrial gross domestic product (GDP) and 49 per cent of manufacturing GDP. It provides about 37 million direct and indirect jobs and 15 per cent of total GST collection amounting to Rs 1.5 lakh crore. "But, the committee observes that of late, there is a negative growth in the automobile production since July 2018," said the report. The committee noted that some of the factors that contributed to slowdown are non-availability of credit facility to consumers, stringent rules for loan sanction by banks, rise in price due to the upfront payment of third-party insurance for 5 years, introduction of BS-VI vehicles from April 2020; and higher rate of GST on automobiles and components. Amid slowdown in the sector, the committee, among other things, recommended to either suspend or postpone the upfront payment of insurance for 5 years for the time being and reduction in GST rate to a lower slab "at least till the revival of the auto sector". Further, it made a case for introduction of incentive-based scrappage policy for creating purchase demand for new vehicles, reduction in import duty on lithium-ion cell battery which is used for operating the e-vehicles and levy of uniform road tax across all states. The report said the committee "is pleased to note" that the Delhi-Chandigarh highway has been declared as the first e-vehicle friendly expressway of the country. It desires that other expressways, including Delhi-Jaipur and Mumbai-Pune expressways, may also be made completely e-vehicle friendly soon with charging infrastructure in place at regular and frequent intervals.
