Farmlands in Mohali villages to be rezoned for residential use, land prices to go up
Villages, including Bathlana, Saneta, Raipur Kalan, and Dheri, located along the Landran-Banur Road, are expected to be reclassified from agricultural to residential zones. The move comes in response to persistent demands from the panchayats and residents of these areas.
The senior town planner has urged the public to submit objections and suggestions to the proposed changes. Once the one-month public objection window closes, the revised zoning plans will be finalised and implemented, the notification stated.
The department has uploaded the detailed sketches, drawings, and other planning documents on the Punjab Urban Planning and Development Authority (PUDA) website, allowing the public to view the proposed changes in the master plan. The objections or suggestions can be submitted either online or by visiting the offices of the chief administrator of Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA), Deputy Commissioner Mohali, State Town Planner, PUDA, and the District Town Planner for more information.
Land prices witness a sharp rise
As soon as the rezoning process was initiated, land prices in the affected villages spiked significantly. For example, in Saneta village, the price of one acre of land jumped from Rs 4 crore last month to over Rs 5 crore now. With the objection phase underway, further price hikes are anticipated in the coming weeks. Notably, Raipur Kalan village already houses a private residential project, EMAAR Hills 109.

Centre approves Aqua Line extension to Bodaki MMTH, project to be completed in 3 years
Noida: In a major boost for urban connectivity in the NCR region, the Central government has approved the extension of the Noida Metro's Aqua Line from Depot Station to the upcoming Multimodal Transport Hub (MMTH) at Bodaki. The project is slated to be completed in three years. The Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the extension was earlier cleared by the Uttar Pradesh Cabinet. With the Centre's nod, the Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) will now proceed with construction. The proposed 2.6 km extension will include three stations -- the existing Depot Station, and two new stations at Junpat Village and Bodaki. The Bodaki MMTH is being developed as a major transit hub, integrating an interstate bus terminal (ISBT), railway station, and local bus stand -- aimed at strengthening multi-modal connectivity across the region. The project will use standard gauge (1,435 mm) tracks and a 25 kV AC overhead traction system, supported by SCADA controls. A topographical survey has already been completed, and geotechnical investigations are underway. The total cost of the project is estimated at Rs 416.34 crore. It will be implemented by the NMRC through a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) structure. The funding model includes 20 per cent contribution from the Central government (Rs 70.59 crore); 24 per cent from the UP government (Rs 91.08 crore); 60 per cent from domestic loans/NCR Planning Board (Rs 211.80 crore); PPP and land components (Rs 10.44 crore + land cost). The revised DPR for the Aqua Line extension from Sector-51 (Noida) to Knowledge Park V (Greater Noida) was approved by the UP government on November 29 last year and later forwarded to the Centre. It was presented in the 94th meeting of the Network Planning Group (NPG) and has received in-principle approval. It will now proceed to the Public Investment Board (PIB) for final clearance. Another DPR -- for a new corridor between Sector-142 and Botanical Garden in Noida -- was approved by the state government on June 28, 2024, and sent to the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs on July 2. It was reviewed in the 90th NPG meeting and has also received an in-principle recommendation.

Govt gets investment proposal worth Rs 16,000 cr under electronic component scheme
New Delhi: The government is learnt to have attracted investment proposals worth Rs 16,000 crore under the Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme , according to sources. The government had opened applications for the Rs 22,805-crore electronics component manufacturing scheme (ECMS) on May 1.

According to the government source, the approval process has started and shortlisted projects are expected to be announced in September. Live Events "The scheme has received a good response from both domestic and foreign companies," the source said. Sources had earlier mentioned that Tata Electronics , Dixon Technologies , and Foxconn were among the big players that have shown interest in the scheme. Recently, Dixon signed separate agreements with Chinese electronic component firms -- Chongqing Yuhai Precision Manufacturing Co Ltd and the Indian arm of Kunshan Q Technology -- for manufacturing and sales of electronic components used in electronic devices like mobile phones and laptops, among others. The scheme aims to address the demand-supply deficit in the electronic component segment. Electronic Industries Association of India (Elcina), the country's oldest industry body of the Indian electronics sector, estimates that the demand-supply deficit for inputs in the electronics segment will increase to USD 248 billion (about Rs 21 lakh crore) by 2030 to cater to projected USD 500 billion electronics production, and it would be met largely by imports in absence of any measure from the government. The major portion of the scheme, Rs 21,093 crore, is earmarked for sub-assemblies like camera module, multi-layered printed circuit board (PCB), flexible PCB, and passive components that are fixed on the PCB by machines. A total of Rs 1,712 crore has been earmarked for making parts used in sub-assemblies and capital goods used in electronics manufacturing. The scheme classifies display module and camera module sub-assembly in category A, while category B products include bare components like non-surface mount devices (non-SMD), multi-layered printed circuit board, lithium-ion cells for digital applications, enclosures for mobile, IT hardware products and related devices. Category C includes components like flexible PCB, SMD passive components. Besides, components used in making items listed under A, B and C categories, as well as capital goods used in electronics manufacturing, have been clubbed under the D category. The government has opened the application window for A, B and C categories initially for three months starting May 1, and for two years for D category items.
