Maharashtra CEO S Chockalingam to head Centre's panel for 'land stack' pilot
The project aims to create an integrated digital database of land-related information, including ownership, registration, cadastral maps and development plans, accessible to citizens and all departments handling land.
According to Centre's July 19 notification, the pilot will be launched in one city and one village in Tamil Nadu and in Chandigarh-chosen for their relatively well-maintained land databases.
The pilot, expected to run for six months, will serve as a model for a future nationwide rollout.

"This is an integrated land information system. One database will have all the information related to a particular piece of land," Chockalingam told TOI. "Globally, around 50 countries have adopted this model. Some maintain up to 35 layers of land data, while others retain key features like cadastral maps, registration records and master plans.

The idea is that with a single click, departments and citizens can check whether a plot is under reservation or not," he said.
The CEO said the land stack will also address gaps in the availability of reliable land information, critical when buyers need to verify ownership, zoning or legal restrictions.
"The principle of caveat emptor (buyer beware) applies to land purchases too. But when accurate information is scattered or inaccessible, it undermines the buyer's ability to make informed decisions. This project will help bridge that gap," he said.

Ather Energy doubles volumes, pares Q1 loss to Rs 178 cr
BEGALURU: Ather Energy reduced its net loss to Rs 178.2 crore in the June quarter from Rs 182.9 crore a year earlier, as strong cost control and software-led monetisation helped offset pricing pressures. Revenue rose 83% year-on-year to Rs 672.9 crore, while volumes nearly doubled to 46,078 units, led by demand for its family-focused Rizta scooter and an expanded retail footprint. Ebitda margin improved by 1,700 basis points year-on-year to -16%. 'A year ago, our Ebitda margin was at -36% in FY24, we closed FY25 at -23% and this quarter we are at -16%,' CFO Sohil Parekh told TOI in an interview. 'It has been a consistent improvement driven by clockwork value engineering across multiple R&D projects, supported by a 45% R&D-heavy workforce. These are structural improvements, not just commodity tailwinds. ' Ather Energy has also leaned on software revenue to improve profitability. Its paid software suite, AtherStack Pro, which offers advanced features like auto-hold and ride analytics, has an attach rate – the percentage of new buyers opting for it – of nearly 89%. 'For a customer to pay for software in a two-wheeler, it has to deliver incredible value,' CBO Ravneet Singh Phokela told TOI. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Investing In Canada Is An Easy Way To Make Thousands Quickly Invest in Canada | Search Ads Undo 'This product contributes around 6% of our revenue and has exceptional margin leverage. We see a lot more juice here as we keep adding new features.' Phokela also pointed to Ather Energy's pricing discipline in a market that has seen 'reckless discounting.' He noted that the company has been able to hold its average selling price (ASP) while gaining share. 'We gained share without cutting prices. In fact, we've maintained our ASP and even inched prices up slightly in places,' Phokela added, calling it a sign that 'sanity is starting to return to the industry.' The company added 95 new experience centres in the quarter, taking its network to 446, and is leaning on a new compact store format that breaks even at just 12-13 units a month. 'This allows us to profitably enter smaller towns. If a city sells 100 units annually, we have the right to play there,' Phokela said. On the technology front, Ather Energy has started deploying lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery chemistry – cheaper and more stable than nickel-based batteries – and is preparing to launch its cost-optimised EL platform, which will underpin a new line of scooters designed for lower price points. 'EL allows us to attack price points we can't currently reach profitably, while LFP will become a larger part of our portfolio in the coming months,' Phokela added. Addressing concerns over rare-earth supply risks, especially China's export curbs on key materials used in EV motors, Phokela said that the company was 'exploring multiple options and technologies,' adding that any disruption 'would be limited to 7-8 days.' He added that while the Bengaluru-headquartered company currently leads in South India, Middle India (comprising Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Odisha) is its next big growth market. 'South is now a consolidation market for us. Middle India is where the strongest focus is. North India remains in nurture mode,' Phokela told TOI.

Delhi, Maharashtra emerge as frontrunners in Niti Aayog's first India Electric Mobility Index
Delhi, Maharashtra and Chandigarh have emerged as frontrunners in NITI Aayog's first India Electric Mobility Index (IEMI). Released on Monday, the IEMI tracks, evaluates and scores all Indian states and UTs out of 100 across 16 indicators under three-core themes: Transport Electrification Progress to capture demand-side adoption, Charging Infrastructure Readiness to track allied charging infrastructure development and EV Research and Innovation Status which covers supply-side ecosystem R&D efforts. In transport electrification, Delhi and Maharashtra are the frontrunners, while Haryana, Karnataka, Ladakh and Himachal Pradesh lead in charging infrastructure readiness. In terms of EV research and innovation, Niti Aayog said Delhi, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Haryana and Telangana stand out as frontruners. Niti Aayog stated that IEMI enables evaluation across states and Union territories, identifying key drivers of success as well as areas requiring targeted interventions. The index aims to inform decision-making, foster healthy competition among states, and promote the sharing of best practices.
