Press Trust of India New Delhi
Shapoorji Pallonji Real Estate (SPRE) will develop a 5-acre residential project in Pune with an estimated revenue of ₹800 crore as part of its expansion plan.
The company has launched a 5-acre premium housing project 'VANAHA Verdant', comprising about 600 apartments.
"Spread across 5 acres, the upcoming project will offer approximately 10 lakhs square feet of saleable area, with an estimated revenue potential of about ₹800 crore," SPRE said in a statement on Wednesday.
The company did not disclose the project cost.
This upcoming project is part of its flagship 1,000-acre integrated township, VANAHA, near Bavdhan, Pune.
Sriram Mahadevan, CEO of Shapoorji Pallonji Real Estate and MD of Joyville Shapoorji Housing, said, "With VANAHA Verdant, we are not just launching another project but shaping a new way of living in Pune. Its proximity to nature, integrated commercial spaces, and low-density layout reflect what today's homebuyers value most: balance, access, and long-term value." To date, Shapoorji Pallonji Real Estate (SPRE) has sold over 2,000 apartments worth ₹1,800 crore across mid-segment within this large township.
Post-Covid pandemic, India's top seven housing markets -- Delhi-NCR, Mumbai Metropolitan Region, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Pune -- have witnessed significant rise in demand and prices, especially for builders having good track record of executing projects on time.
Shapoorji Pallonji Real Estate is one of the leading real estate developers in the country.

Why Amazon's Massive Retail Business Is No Longer Enough
The company's generally strong second-quarter report late Thursday was marred by what was considered a disappointing showing by its Amazon Web Services cloud-computing business. AWS revenue grew 17% from a year earlier to about $30.9 billion, which was largely flat with the growth rate shown the previous quarter and merely in line with Wall Street's projections. That came after rivals Microsoft and Alphabet's Google reported accelerating growth in their own cloud units for the same period. When pressed about AWS growth on the company's earnings call, Amazon Chief Executive Andy Jassy noted that 'we have a meaningfully larger business in the AWS segment than others.' He is right—to an extent. Microsoft said Wednesday that its Azure cloud-computing arm just surpassed $75 billion in annual revenue, which is about 36% below the $116 billion AWS is currently generating. But Azure doesn't include all of Microsoft's cloud offerings, or even all of its efforts in generative AI services such as Copilot. Microsoft said Wednesday that revenue for its total Microsoft Cloud business increased 27% year over year to $46.7 billion for the June quarter. And that was a sharp acceleration of 7 percentage points from the growth reported for the March quarter. Microsoft's shares rose nearly 4% Thursday after its report. Amazon's stock was down more than 6% in after-hours trading after its results. The irony is that the relative weakness in Amazon's cloud business comes as the company's retail side is humming. The online stores division—which reflects the products Amazon sells itself over its website—saw sales jump 11% year over year to $61.5 billion. That is the best growth rate for that unit since early 2021 when Amazon was still benefiting from a Covid-19-induced online shopping spree. North American operating income that reflects the bulk of Amazon's retail business hit $7.5 billion—34% ahead of Wall Street's projections. And that comes in a quarter clouded by questions about tariffs and the health of consumer spending. Still, given what Amazon, Microsoft and Google are spending to build up generative AI capabilities, trends in their respective cloud-computing arms are watched closely for signs of a return on that investment. And those amounts are getting even more staggering. Amazon said Thursday its cash capital expenditures of $31.4 billion in the second quarter are 'reasonably representative' of what it will spend in the next two periods, which would bring the year's total to about $118 billion. That is nearly double what Amazon averaged over the previous five years, which included a massive step up in investments in the company's order-fulfillment network. And that isn't cheap even for a company that now sells $670 billion of goods and services annually. Amazon's free cash flow is expected to slip 6% this year despite a projected 9% increase in sales, according to consensus estimates from Visible Alpha. Amazon's big-spending, Big Tech rivals are in the same boat. But Microsoft, Google and Meta Platforms gave investors plenty of good news in their latest reports that softened the blow of those big bills. If Amazon is going to sell its AI vision, it will need AWS to pack a bigger punch. Write to Dan Gallagher at

Letters to The Editor — August 2, 2025
Misplaced remark U.S. President Donald Trump's remark, calling India a 'dead economy', is both inaccurate and disappointing, especially when leading global institutions continue to recognise India as among the fastest-growing major economies. That the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank have all projected India's economic stability is a clear indication of economic vitality, not decline. With a young and dynamic population — in sharp contrast to aging demographics and slowing growth in many advanced economies, India's demographic strength, combined with prudent macroeconomic policies and digital advancement, positions it as a key driver of future global growth. Mr. Trump's comments appear to be politically charged rather than fact-based. Rukma Sharma, Jalandhar, Punjab What is odious is that Mr. Trump did not stop with just announcing tariffs. He has revived the U.S's old myopic game of trying to maintain a geo-political strategic balance in South Asia by supporting Pakistan, India's war-happy neighbour. One cannot but notice the fact that Mr Trump has been upping the ante against India ever since it successfully carried out post-Pahalgam retaliatory strikes against Pakistan's terror infrastructure. That India proved its military prowess with minimum collateral damage and the use of indigenous armaments has not gone down well with the Trump administration. Nalini Vijayaraghavan, Thiruvananthapuram The cartoon (Inside pages, 'On the draw' August 1), on Mr. Trump's decision, may be a correct portrayal. The U.S. President is publicity savvy and wants to take the credit when it comes to all major global events. He wants the Nobel Prize and has shamelessly expressed his desire. He is just another politician and not a statesman. Imposing shockingly high tariffs will hurt the business of the exporters to the United States of America, which will, in turn, affect the economies of many countries. Mr. Trump does not care one bit about the sufferings of others. He is whimsical, which is a bad trait for anyone in power. Here is an elected leader who is an example of how one should not be. V. Lakshmanan, Tirupur, Tamil Nadu One cannot help notice these contrasts — ISRO and NASA have successfully launched their NISAR satellite into orbit, which highlights the power of science and cooperation, but the U.S. President seems intent on giving pinpricks to India and the Indian government. One wonders how things will play out. Dhanaraj S., Bodinayakanur, Tamil Nadu The debate in Parliament The parliamentary debate on Operation Sindoor unfolded as expected, with few surprises. The ruling party remained determined to portray the operation as an unqualified success, while key questions raised by the Opposition were left unanswered. Vital issues deserving serious deliberation such as Mr. Trump's repeated claims of brokering a ceasefire, and the alarming security lapses in Pahalgam were largely ignored. From the outset, the ruling party's reluctance to engage in a substantive debate was unmistakable. Repeated references to events under the past dispensation did little more than deflect attention from the core concerns. One can only hope that future parliamentary discussions will rise above partisan posturing and offer genuine, meaningful exchanges. V. Nagarajan, Chennai Civic responsibility India-Bangladesh relations may be strained but there are areas of policy in that country which may be worth considering in India. I recently came across a video on YouTube, on an organisation called BD Clean ( It is a platform of 50,000 volunteers who work with the aim of ensuring a clean Bangladesh and bringing about a change in mentality in the disposal of garbage. The transformation in the country has been spectacular with heavily polluted areas undergoing remarkable transformations. It is an idea that is worth emulating in Indian cities and towns. V. Subramaniam, Chennai

Delhi zoo may soon increase its ticket price; Check details
From 20 paise in 1959 to a proposed Rs 100 in 2025 — ticket prices at the Delhi Zoo may soon see another hike as part of efforts to modernise the 65-year-old park. The proposed increase from the current Rs 80 to Rs 100 was discussed in a recent review meeting. However, officials clarified that the plan is still under consideration and awaits final approval.

We discussed revising the rates to Rs 100 for adults and Rs 50 for children to bring parity with other large zoos. But no file has yet been moved to the ministry," a senior official said. If approved, this would be the third hike in Delhi Zoo's entry fees in the past decade. The last revision came in 2021, when ticket prices were doubled from Rs 40 to Rs 80 after the zoo reopened post the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to that, rates were increased in 2013 — from Rs 20 to Rs 40. Live Events Established in 1959, the Delhi Zoo initially charged just 20 paise for adults and 10 paise for children aged 5 to 12, while kids under five could enter for free. Back then, visitors could also buy a printed zoo map for 5 paise — a handy guide that doubled as a souvenir. "The old printed maps used to show the major enclosures and helped people navigate easily. It was a small token of their visit," the official added. Currently, the zoo is home to 95 species, with plans to bring in two otters from the Surat Zoo next month, reintroducing the species after a gap of over two decades. With their arrival, the total number of species at the zoo will increase to 96. Meanwhile, the zoo has witnessed a rise in footfall, with data showing over 2.46 lakh visitors in June this year. In comparison, around 1.57 lakh visitors were recorded in July 2024. The Delhi Zoo remains one of the city's most popular attractions, drawing between 8,000 and 10,000 visitors on weekends while weekday attendance ranges from 4,000 to 6,000, according to officials.
