Changing City: Ulwe Coastal Road, key infra project in Navi Mumbai, readying for launch next year

As Navi Mumbai prepares to take its next step in connectivity, the Ulwe Coastal Road (UCR) has been identified as an infrastructure project that will redefine urban transport in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). The 5.8-kilometre six-lane road with a 1.2-kilometre elevated stretch is being constructed by the City and Industrial Development Corporation of Maharashtra Limited (Cidco) to link Belapur to the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) at Shivaji Nagar and enhance connectivity further to the new Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA). The Ulwe Coastal Road is planned as a mega feeder road connecting Navi Mumbai to the mega infrastructure projects, according to Cidco. Starting at Amra Marg in Belapur and following the Ulwe coast to join the MTHL junction, the road will provide high-speed direct connectivity from Mumbai to Navi Mumbai, particularly for those travelling to the NMIA. The highway runs through developing areas such as Seawoods, Ulwe, Bamandongri, and Targhar, which are poised to witness aggressive growth once the Navi Mumbai airport becomes operational. The Ulwe Coastal Road is being planned with both capacity and environmental considerations. The highway will have three lanes on either side, with unhindered vehicular movement. A 1.2-kilometre elevated section will pass over sensitive mangrove areas, and a special railway overbridge will enable people to skip bottlenecks at tracks on the Nerul-Uran route. Cidco's proposal provides for smooth integration with the MTHL, giving Mumbai commuters easy access to NMIA and other nodes in Navi Mumbai. For people of Navi Mumbai, the UCR offers the much-needed connectivity to Mumbai through the MTHL, reducing travel time and decongesting roads such as Palm Beach Road and Sion-Panvel Highway. For those who would be using the upcoming Navi Mumbai airport, it provides seamless airport connectivity, crucial for economic and logistical efficiency. Urban planners anticipate the highway to boost business and residential development in Ulwe and other nodes, with better last-mile connectivity inviting investment and dissolving traffic congestion at older nodes such as Vashi and Belapur. Estimated at Rs 1,400 crore, the Ulwe Coastal Road is one of Cidco's showcase projects in sync with NMIA's phased commissioning. Tenders were issued in late 2024, and construction has begun since then. The deadline for the project is set for early 2026, coinciding with the airport's planned commissioning. The estimate involves structural components, environmental mitigation works, and road safety facilities, consistent with the challenging terrain and environmental sensitivity of the road. The significance of the road is enhanced by the two projects it will link — the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link or the Atal Setu will connect directly to UCR at Shivaji Nagar, while at the other end, the UCR offers a special route to NMIA's terminal area. This three-way connection — MTHL, UCR, NMIA — has been termed 'transformational' by officials for Thane and Panvel commuters, minimising reliance on highways in the two cities and scattering airport traffic more evenly throughout the MMR. The alignment of the road was picked to minimise ecological disruption. The elevated section going through coastal and mangrove-dominated areas in particular ensures that construction does not have direct impact on sensitive ecosystems. Cidco has also pledged compensatory afforestation and carried out environmental appraisal as part of statutory clearances. While environmental groups raise concerns about long-term effects on Ulwe's natural shoreline, authorities have stated that engineering interventions such as building on stilts and creating buffer zones will help preserve biodiversity while supporting urban development. 'The Ulwe Coastal Road is a crucial project among the various initiatives undertaken by Cidco to provide seamless connectivity to the Navi Mumbai International Airport. This six-lane road will play a vital role in connecting the Atal Setu and the Navi Mumbai International Airport. Starting from Amra Marg, the road will be linked to the interchange at Atal Setu. This road will be instrumental in the commercial success of the Navi Mumbai International Airport,' said Priya Ratambe, Public Relations Officer, Cidco.

Emergency quota rule for reserving train berth tightened to prevent misuse

Indian Railways has updated rules for the so-called emergency quota (EQ) in train tickets, saying applications must be made a day before the date of travel so that there is no misuse and those in genuine need are served. A circular by the national transporter this week said the rules apply to all trains and coach classes. What is emergency quota According to a Press Information Bureau statement, berths under EQ are primarily meant for High Official Requisition (HOR) holders based on their position in the warrant of precedence, such as ministers, Members of Parliament, and high-ranking bureaucrats. Leftover EQ berths are allocated to regular passengers whose needs are deemed urgent by railway zonal headquarters. These include: 1. Medical emergencies 2. Death or bereavement in the family 3. Government duty or official work 4. Job or educational interviews Each case is assessed based on urgency and the status of the applicant. New EQ booking deadlines Under the revised norms, EQ requests now need to be submitted a day before the date of travel. Depending on the departure time of the train, the deadline for submitting requests is split into two time bands: -For trains departing between 00.00 hrs and 14.00 hrs: Submit EQ request by 12 noon on the previous day. -For trains departing between 14:01 hrs and 23:59 hrs: Submit request by 4 pm on the previous day. -Requests made on the same day as the train's departure will no longer be entertained. What if your train departs on a Sunday or holiday? For trains scheduled on Sundays or public holidays, the EQ request must be submitted on the last working day during office hours. For example, if your train departs on a Sunday, the request should be filed on Friday during working hours. Other key railway changes effective July 2025 In addition to the EQ update, Indian Railways has rolled out a series of reforms to improve transparency in ticket bookings: Chart preparation: Now done eight hours before departure; for morning trains, charts will be prepared at 9 pm the previous night. Tatkal tickets: From July 15, Tatkal tickets at PRS counters and via agents require OTP verification. Aadhaar authentication: Starting July 1, Aadhaar is mandatory for Tatkal bookings made on IRCTC's website or app. Agent restrictions: Authorised agents are now barred from booking tickets during selected hours to give priority to individual passengers. These changes are part of a broader effort by the Railways to plug loopholes, minimise touting and ensure seats go to those who need them the most.

PM to unveil Rs 4,800 cr infra push in Tuticorin

New Delhi, July 25 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Tamil Nadu on July 26 and 27 to inaugurate and lay the foundation stone for infrastructure and development projects worth over Rs 4,800 crore. The visit comes soon after his return from the UK and Maldives. On July 26, the Prime Minister will address a public event in Tuticorin, launching a slew of road, rail, port, aviation, and energy projects aimed at boosting connectivity and economic growth in southern Tamil Nadu, said a PMO statement today. The following day, July 27, he will attend the Aadi Thiruvathirai Festival in Tiruchirappalli, marking the 1000th anniversary of Rajendra Chola famed maritime expedition. A key highlight of the visit will be the inauguration of the new terminal building at Tuticorin Airport, developed at a cost of Rs 450 crore. The terminal, spread across 17,340 sq. metres, is designed to handle up to 25 lakh passengers annually and meets GRIHA-4 sustainability standards, as per the statement. In the highways sector, the PM will dedicate the 4-laning of the Sethiyathope–Cholapuram stretch of NH-36 (Rs 2,350 crore) and 6-laning of NH-138 Tuticorin Port Road (Rs 200 crore). These upgrades are expected to reduce travel time, ease cargo movement, and improve access to key industrial and agricultural zones. Port infrastructure will receive a boost with the inauguration of North Cargo Berth-III at V.O. Chidambaranar Port (Rs 285 crore), enhancing dry bulk cargo handling capacity by 6.96 mmt/pa, said the statement. Three major rail projects will be dedicated to the nation, including the electrification of the Madurai–Bodinayakkanur section and doubling of key segments in the Nagercoil and Tirunelveli regions. These initiatives, collectively worth over Rs 1,000 crore, aim to improve eco-friendly mobility and ease passenger and freight congestion in southern Tamil Nadu. To strengthen the state's power infrastructure, the PM will lay the foundation for an Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) for the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant's new units. The Rs 550 crore project includes a high-capacity 400 kV line to ensure reliable power transmission across states, as per the PMO. In Tiruchirappalli, the Prime Minister will participate in commemorations marking 1,000 years since Rajendra Chola I's naval expedition to Southeast Asia and the founding of the Gangaikonda Cholapuram Temple. He will also release a commemorative coin in honour of the emperor during the Aadi Thiruvathirai celebrations, said the statement. The UNESCO-listed temple is hailed for its architectural grandeur and spiritual legacy. The event to be held at the historic temple, will also spotlight Tamil Nadu's rich Shaiva Bhakti heritage, exemplified by the 63 Nayanmars and deeply patronised by the Cholas. UNI AJ PRS
