Survey to find root causes of congestion at Chirag Dilli intersection, RTR Marg
While the survey on the Chirag Dilli intersection is already complete, its findings will be formally presented on June 23. The report for RTR Marg, which connects the airport corridor with the AIIMS stretch, is expected to be ready by mid-July.
"Traffic engineering plays a key role in managing road infrastructure. When we conduct surveys, we try to identify the root causes of congestion. In many cases, it's not just about traffic volume but also about traffic engineering—like sudden lane expansions or contractions, missing or unclear signage, and much more.
For instance, a sudden stop of one vehicle at a particular point causes a ripple effect across the entire stretch," explained IRTE director Rohit Baluja.
"These aren't problems that can be solved by policing alone. They need proper traffic engineering solutions," he asserted.
According to sources, some problems found at the Chirag Dilli intersection included a lack of information signs, inappropriate geometry with reference to the volume of traffic, and the need for better signal operation management.

The lanes are many, and there is a visibility issue.
"We've initiated a detailed traffic survey of the Chirag Dilli and RTR stretches around Munirka and near Gurgaon, in collaboration with IRTE to identify engineering-led solutions. The Chirag Dilli's inspection is complete, and we expect inputs on RTR by mid-July. Based on the findings, we will involve civic agencies wherever required and draw up a coordinated plan to ease snarls on these two high-pressure corridors, which see thousands of commuters daily," said additional CP (traffic) Dinesh Kumar Gupta.

While Musk criticized the Trump administration's 'One Big Beautiful Bill', Trump said the tech billionaire 'may have to close shop and return back to South Africa'. What Trump wrote on Truth Social In a post on Truth Social, the US President wrote: 'My Representatives had a long and productive meeting with the Israelis today on Gaza. Israel has agreed to the nècessary conditions to finalize the 60 Day CEASEFIRE, during which time we will work with all parties to end the War. The Qataris and Egyptians, who have worked very hard to help bring Peace, will deliver this final proposal.

Ola Electric sales at 60k units in Q1, sees sustained demand recovery in Q2
Ola Electric is expecting a sustained demand recovery in the second quarter , according to sources, with its Q1 FY26 vehicle registrations reaching nearly 60,000 units, as indicated by VAHAN data. The company, which saw registrations grow 9 per cent month-on-month in June, is projected to post quarter-on-quarter revenue growth of nearly 25 per cent, underlining the gains from its recalibrated sustainable growth efforts, said people tracking the company's performance. "Factoring in deliveries in Telangana and the clearance of pending backlogs from Q4 FY25, Ola Electric is now expected to deliver over 65,000 vehicles in Q1 FY26. This strong delivery performance puts the company well on course to comfortably meet its revenue guidance of Rs 800-850 crore for the quarter," a source said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: 1 simple trick to get all TV channels Techno Mag Learn More Undo The person said the growth in June registrations marks a "clear shift in trajectory, signalling that Ola Electric is regaining pace after a tempered Q4 FY25. The recent uptick also suggests sustained demand recovery heading into the second quarter". Mired in aftersales and service issues in the past, Ola Electric's performance in Q1 FY26 may well serve as a turning point in its growth narrative, said the source, adding that pick up in volumes, revenue trending upward, and improvement in gross margins augur well for the company. Live Events Ola Electric's sales growth comes on the back of a four-fold increase in its network, reaching 4,000 stores in December last year. The expansion spanned beyond metros and Tier I and II cities into smaller towns and tehsils. The company had faced multiple challenges in FY25. It had cut around 1,000 jobs across different functions as part of a restructuring exercise to reduce losses. In March, the company's arm, Ola Electric Technologies Pvt Ltd, settled all dues with its erstwhile vehicle registration service provider Rosmerta Group, which had sought to initiate insolvency proceedings against the company. Last year, the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) had ordered a detailed probe into complaints related to alleged "deficiencies" in services and electric two-wheelers manufactured by Ola Electric. The company said that out of 10,644 complaints received from the CCPA, it has resolved 99.1 per cent of the complaints. However, in January this year, CCPA sought additional documents and information from the company regarding the complaints. The company had reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 870 crore for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2025, while its revenue from operations declined to Rs 611 crore from Rs 1,598 crore in the year-ago period. For FY25, the company reported a net loss of Rs 2,276 crore compared with Rs 1,584 crore in the 2023-24 fiscal. Revenue from operations declined to Rs 4,514 crore against Rs 5,010 crore in FY24.
