LDA speeds up road work on Green Corridor project
2
Lucknow: The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) is set to expedite the construction of a 24-metre-wide, four-lane road that will link Shaheed Path and Kisan Path as part of its Green Corridor project.
The road is being developed along the right bank of the Gomti and aims to enhance connectivity and reduce traffic congestion in the region.
LDA vice-chairman Prathamesh Kumar inspected the site on Wednesday and directed officials to start earth-levelling and identify all land falling within the proposed embankment alignment. A joint team comprising officials from engineering zone-1, the land acquisition section and the project implementation unit (PIU) was formed to resolve alignment issues and remove encroachments.
Kumar proposed setting up a site office behind the Ekana cricket stadium for better project monitoring. He also reviewed the proposed 45-metre-wide road adjacent to the stadium, in line with the city's master plan.
In CG City, he assessed progress on cofferdam construction in the wetland area, where a 6-metre-wide pathway is being developed. He directed officials to increase manpower and coordinate with the revenue department to resolve land acquisition issues.

The decision to increase FDI component in a particular insurance company is made by its promoters, depending upon various factors such as capital requirement of the company, solvency requirement, future business plans etc, the minister said. Live Events Replying to another question, Sitharaman said in order to increase coverage under Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY), Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY) and Atal Pension Yojana (APY), regular campaigns were held at grass root level with active participation of banks and local administration. Further, she said, a 3-month 'Financial Inclusion Saturation Campaign' has been launched across the country in 2.70 lakh gram panchayats and Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) from July 1, 2025, with the aim of increasing enrolments in PMJJBY, PMSBY and APY. To achieve saturation in these Jansuraksha schemes, camps are being organized at gram panchayat level and ULBs by banks, providing residents with direct access to information and assistance for enrolling in the scheme, she said. The initiative is aimed to raise awareness and improve participation, helping to bridge gaps in enrolment under the scheme. The Centre for Financial Literacy (CFL) project was initiated by the Reserve Bank of India in 2017 with an objective to adopt community-led innovative and participatory approaches to financial literacy, the minister said. As on March 31, 2025, a total of 2,421 CFLs have been set up across the country with one CFL covering three blocks on an average, she added. PTI

Q1 revenue growth and drags: Corporate earnings rise 4–6%; check details
NEW DELHI: The corporate sector recorded a muted revenue growth of 4-6 per cent in the first quarter of this financial year, slipping from around 7 per cent growth seen in the previous two quarters, Crisil Intelligence has said. The weaker performance was largely due to a slowdown in key sectors such as power, IT services and steel, which together make up a third of the revenue across 600 companies reviewed, according to PTI. According to the agency, while some sectors struggled, others like pharmaceuticals, telecom services, organised retail, aluminium and airlines helped sustain growth during April to June. 'The early onset of monsoon and lingering geopolitical uncertainties are expected to have materially impacted some sectors in April-June,' said Pushan Sharma, director at Crisil Intelligence. What drove Q1 gains and drags across sectors Power sector revenues are expected to have dropped 8 per cent year-on-year due to cooler weather reducing electricity demand. This also led to a 2-3 per cent fall in coal demand and brought down spot electricity prices, Sharma added. In the IT services sector , project delays linked to global trade tensions left revenue growth flat on a year-on-year basis. The steel sector fared only slightly better, with an estimated 1-3 per cent increase in revenue due to lower prices and plant maintenance shutdowns. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Simple Morning Habit for a Flatter Belly After 50! Lulutox Undo The auto industry posted a 4 per cent rise in revenue, backed by stronger retail sales, although high inventory weighed on the gains. Crisil said price hikes and improved export earnings also supported the sector's numbers. Construction revenue rose 6 per cent, mainly due to the base effect from election-related disruptions last year. The pharmaceutical sector outperformed India Inc's average, growing 9-11 per cent on the back of solid export demand and stable domestic consumption. Telecom revenues were up 12 per cent due to a rise in subscription charges, while organised retail grew 15-17 per cent, led by fashion and grocery sales. Aluminium saw the strongest growth, with revenue surging 23 per cent, helped by local demand, exports and improved product realisations. Airline revenue also climbed 15 per cent as grounded aircraft returned to service and fleets expanded. Volume growth supported gains in steel, cement and FMCG sectors as well, with each seeing a moderate uptick.

India-UK FTA: Rs 4,060 crore hit in first year; customs revenue loss to widen by 10th year
NEW DELHI: India could lose around Rs 4,060 crore in customs revenue in the first year of its newly signed free trade agreement (FTA) with the United Kingdom, according to estimates by the Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI). The amount shows the customs duties India will not collect because of lower or removed tariffs on many British products entering the country. The estimate is based on current import volumes and tariff structures. The trade deal was signed last week and involves phased tariff eliminations that will increase India's annual revenue loss to Rs 6,345 crore by the tenth year of implementation. That is equivalent to around 574 million British pounds, calculated using trade data for financial year 2025. 'Based on these factors, India's revenue foregone in the first year of the agreement is estimated at Rs 4,060 crore,' GTRI founder Ajay Srivastava was quoted as saying to news agency PTI. India imported goods worth $8.6 billion from the UK in 2024-25. A large share of these are industrial products that currently attract an average customs duty of 9.2 per cent. GTRI said India has agreed to eliminate tariffs on 64 per cent of the value of imports from the UK as soon as the agreement is implemented. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pirates Climb Aboard Cargo Ship - Watch What The Captain Did Next Tips and Tricks Undo In total, India will remove tariffs on 85 per cent of tariff lines and reduce duties on another 5 per cent of product categories. However, most agricultural goods have been excluded from the cuts, except items like whisky and gin, which face much higher average tariffs of 64.3 per cent. In turn, the UK imported $14.5 billion worth of Indian goods in the last fiscal year. 'This translates to an estimated annual revenue loss of British Pound 375 million (or $474 million or Rs 3,884 crore) for the UK, again based on FY2025 trade data. As Indian exports to the UK expand, the fiscal impact is likely to grow over time,' GTRI noted. Under the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), the UK has committed to removing tariffs on 99 per cent of Indian imports. The agreement still requires parliamentary approval in the UK, and its full implementation can take up to a year.
