State govt tells NMC to carry out immediate repairs of roads in Ambad MIDC areas, prepare blueprint for concreting 68 km roads

Time of India3 days ago
Nashik: The state govt on Monday told NMC to immediately undertake road repairs in the Ambad industrial estate of MIDC.
The state govt also asked Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) administration to prepare a blueprint for making 68 km roads in both Ambad and Satpur MIDC areas concrete in phases.
The state govt's instructions came after local MLA Seema Hiray presented the calling attention motion during the state assembly session on Monday regarding poor condition of roads in Ambad MIDC areas. Hiray said MIDC handed over the roads in both Ambad and Satpur MIDC areas to NMC for repairs and maintenance works in industrial areas located in the city limits in August 1997, while MIDC kept the side strips and the footpaths along the roads in its industrial estate.
Hiray said there are 68 km of roads in industrial estates of MIDC located in the jurisdiction of the municipal corporation, including 36 km of roads in Ambad and 32 km in Satpur MIDC areas.
Replying to calling attention motion, minister of state for urban development and transport Madhuri Misal said during a meeting with NMC before calling attention motion, instructions were given to undertake repair works immediately at Ambad MIDC areas in the city.

Misal said the instructions were given to NMC to prepare a blueprint for concreting 68 km of roads in MIDC areas of the city. The roads in both the industrial estates are to be concretised in phases.
She informed that the 8km road from Garware Point to Papaya Nursery is to be made of concrete during Kumbh Mela at the total cost of Rs 175 crore under the funds from Simhastha Kumbh Mela. This road connects both Ambad and Satpur MIDC areas in the city.
She said financial provision of Rs 10 crore has been made in the budget and the amount is to be spent to make roads of concrete.
Misal said the roads are to be made of concrete in phases as per the availability of funds. Instructions have also been given to the civic body to undertake concrete work of those roads which have suffered damage. Moreover, Rs 6.5 crore funds have been proposed for roads for NMC under the DPDC for the road works

SEBI aims to deepen equity market, flags concerns over derivatives frenzy

SEBI on Thursday expressed concern over the growing dominance of ultra-short-term derivatives trading, cautioning that such trends could undermine the health of India's capital markets, while contemplating steps to extend the tenure and maturity of these products. Very short-term derivatives continue to dominate equity derivative volumes, especially expiry-day index options. This is an imbalance that is obviously unhealthy and may have potential for adverse consequences," said SEBI Whole-Time Member Ananth Narayan. He was addressing the 11th Capital Markets Conclave organised by the CII. "I would strongly endorse the view that, towards this end, we must look for ways to further deepen our cash equities markets, even as we look to improve the quality of our derivatives market by extending the tenure and maturity of the products and solutions on offer. We need constructive engagement from all stakeholders to achieve this," he said. Citing the market regulator's own research, Narayan pointed out that 91 per cent of individual traders in futures and options (F&O) incurred net losses in FY25 - collectively losing over Rs 1 lakh crore - funds that could otherwise contribute to responsible investing and capital formation. He highlighted that the Indian derivatives market is unique, with expiry-day index option turnover often exceeding the cash market by as much as 350 times. Unlike longer-term derivatives, these short-term products contribute little to capital formation and may actually add to market volatility, Narayan said. While acknowledging that exchanges, brokers, and other intermediaries have significant revenue dependence on such trading volumes, the SEBI official questioned the sustainability of this trend. Is all this at all sustainable? he asked. SEBI has already introduced regulatory measures in October 2024 and May 2025 aimed at curbing excesses in this space, which Narayan said are showing some early signs of moderation. However, he emphasised the need for continuous engagement with stakeholders to ensure that both capital formation and market health are protected. We must look for ways to deepen our cash equities markets while improving the quality of derivatives through longer-tenure products, Narayan said, urging industry collaboration. Responding to a question, he underscored the advantages of listing, particularly in the current environment where valuations are very, very attractive. Going public can unlock substantial value and enable companies to raise capital in a very meaningful manner, acting as a force multiplier for achieving scale and growth. SEBI is working to boost participation and innovation across asset classes by enhancing transparency in corporate bonds, InvITs, REITs, municipal bonds, and expanding commodity derivatives. It has urged all stakeholders to support these efforts. Narayan underscored that preserving trust is the key ingredient for healthy capital markets. Our funds ecosystem has grown significantly with substantial growth in both issuances and investments. Something good is underway around capital formation, he noted. However, he warned that unchecked speculation, governance failures, technology lapses, market manipulation, or flawed market design (Type I errors) could destroy investor trust and kill the goose that is laying golden eggs. At the same time, he cautioned against over-regulation (Type II errors) that might stifle legitimate business or capital formation. We in SEBI look at both risks very closely and undertake extensive consultations to minimise both together, he assured. Narayan urged exchanges, clearing corporations, and depositories to maintain strong operational resilience and risk management while balancing commercial interests with public trust. He also called upon intermediaries and industry players to act as trusted advisors. When you see something wrong, please say something. And when you seek regulatory relief, please engage with us openly on how risks of potential Type I errors will be mitigated, he said. Narayan also emphasised that compliance with disclosure and governance standards associated with being a listed entity enhances long-term sustainability, likening transparency to sunlight being the best disinfectant. He expressed a personal hope to see more micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) list and grow into large national champions, though he reiterated that the choice ultimately rests with promoters.
