The talks about the buyout or merger had begun a while ago but did not materialise. The discussions have begun again now. 
 
If the deal sees light of the day, this will be Future Group's fourth acquisition of food and grocery chain in less than five years. 
 Previously, Future Group bought Big Apple in 2012, Nilgiri's in 2014 and merged <keyword id="117289" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bharti-Retail">Bharti Retail</keyword> with itself in 2015. 
 
Aditya Birla Retail is the fourth-largest supermarket chain in India after Future Group, Reliance Retail and D'Mart with 500 stores and revenues of Rs 2,948 crore during 2014-15. 
 
Meanwhile, this acquisition or merger will also bring in more debt to Biyani. 
 
ABRL had a net loss of Rs 571 crore in FY14-15 and total debt of Rs 5,232 crore as of March 31, 2015. Future has a debt burden of Rs 4,941 crore, and high interest outgo has been impacting profits. 
 "Traditionally, brick-and-mortar retailers have not been innovative enough to extend sales from their stores to online. Online can be a 'bolt on' to the offline stores.

Mumbai, Jan 31 () Town planning authority MMRDA on Friday said it is mulling realignment of a stretch of the Thane-Bhiwandi-Kalyan metro 5 corridor, following mounting opposition from shopkeepers and residents of Bhiwandi.
 Taking cognisance of the protests by the locals of Bhiwandi, Maharashtra Urban Development Minister Eknath Shinde had directed the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), the project implementing agency, to consider changing the route.
 "There is an opposition from the locals regarding the alignment of the route between the Kalyan-Bhiwandi stretch. We are now looking at all the possibilities if there can be a realignment or tweaking of the route on that stretch," MMRDA Commissioner R A Rajeev told reporters.
 Work on the first phase of the project from Thane to Bhiwandi has begun after a contractor was appointed in September 2019. However, the work from Bhiwandi to Kalyan is yet to start.
 When asked if the realignment would result in cost escalation, Rajeev said it would be decided when the project (between Bhiwandi and Kalyan) would be tendered.
 The metro corridor has witnessed demands for realigning the line from Durgadi to Adharwadi chowk and from Khadakpada to Birla College.
 The proposed 24.9 km-long elevated Thane-Bhiwandi-Kalyan corridor will have 17 stations and will cost Rs 8,416 crore. It will connect Thane to Bhiwandi and Kalyan in the eastern suburbs.
 The stations include Kapurbawdi in Thane (West), Balkum Naka, Kasheli, Kalher, Purna, Anjur Phata, Dhamankar Naka, Bhiwandi, Gopal Nagar, Temghar, Rajnouli Village, Govegaon MIDC, Kongaon, Durgadi Fort, Sahajanand Chowk and Kalyan Railway Station. PSK ABM

He said the Geminid meteor shower can be viewed from every part of India if the <keyword id="10424361" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="sky-conditions">sky conditions</keyword> are favourable. "While it is expected around December 13-14 night, one can probably also see some meteors on early evening hours of December 14," Duari said. Meteors are bright streaks of dazzling light that one often sees in the night sky and they are often termed as "shooting stars". In reality, when a rocky object, which can be as small as a speck of dust enters the earth's atmosphere with a tremendous speed, because of the excitation of the air molecules and friction, a brilliant streak of light is produced, he explained. During a certain period of the year, one gets to see not one but numerous meteors originating from a particular direction of the sky. These are called meteor showers and in general are caused by the earth's passage through the leftover debris of dust, left behind by different comets as they come near the Sun. In general, comets are mostly made up of ice and dust and when they approach the sun, the ice in them melts leaving behind a trail of dust along its path. As earth, in its yearly journey around sun passes through this dusty region, the dust and rocky substances enters the earths atmosphere, sometimes with speed between 30 60 km per second, and produce a shower of light streaks, called as meteor shower. Since they seem to come from one direction of the sky, the practice is to identify the constellation from which they seem to be radiating and <keyword id="10424363" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="the-meteor-shower">the meteor shower</keyword> is named after the constellation. Among the various meteor showers, one of the most spectacular is the Geminid Meteor shower which occurs every year around the second week of December. Moreover, at the peak of the meteor as predicted, in the middle of the night of December 13-14, at around 1-2 am, when the Gemini constellation will be overhead in Kolkata, it will provide an opportunity to observe the "celestial fireworks", Duari said. This year, as per the predictions, it may be possible to see 150 meteors per hour given the sky is dark and clear. One should not be alarmed while viewing this "heavenly phenomenon, since these meteors will cause no harm to anything on Earth", Duari said.
