MMRDA is building a ‘Shunya (zero) bridge' as part of an under-construction elevated metro railway line — a 23.5-km corridor from D.N. Nagar to Mandale connecting eastern and western suburbs.
The sea link will connect Versova, a western suburb of Mumbai, to Virar, fast-growing, dense residential hub. When it was first conceived in 2018, it was estimated to cost Rs 30,000 crore.
Proponents of the Rs 12,721-crore coastal road project call it a ‘temporary’ disturbance that would ‘transform’ Worli sea face and parts of Marine Drive.
Despite growing passenger volume, 11 out of 14 carriers reported losses in 2023-24. IndiGo recorded profit of Rs 8,167 crore, which reduced to Rs 7.253 crore in 2024-25.
Of the total package, $649 million will be utilised for additional hardware, software, and support services, and the remaining for Major Defence Equipment (MDE).
None of Pakistan’s PMs has lasted 5 years. That the current PM has given Asim Munir 5 years shows that of all military dictatorships history has seen, Pakistan’s is most creative.
