Coastal Road Gardens To Be Ready In Three Years

Bhushan Gagrani said the gardens along the Coastal Road would be ready in three years and set a clear timeline for completion of horticulture and landscape work associated with the route. The statement framed the gardens as an integral element of the broader urban waterfront initiative and indicated that delivery would follow construction milestones. The timeline was presented as part of routine progress reporting on the scheme.

The gardens are expected to improve access to the seafront and to expand public green space along the city corridor. Planning documents referenced in the announcement emphasized native planting, shade provision and pathways designed for both pedestrians and cyclists to encourage active use. Planning also placed weight on species selection suited to saline conditions to reduce long term upkeep.

Implementation will proceed in phases coordinated with contractors and municipal horticulture teams to allow staged openings. Officials said irrigation systems and soil preparation would be prioritised before mass planting and that maintenance regimes would be defined to ensure survival in the coastal environment. Contractual arrangements are expected to include performance clauses to secure upkeep after opening.

The project is being positioned as a long term investment in urban resilience and public health by those responsible for delivery. Attention to plant selection and to shade may help mitigate heat in adjacent areas and provide informal recreational opportunities for residents and visitors. Planners also flagged the potential for small scale visitor amenities without affecting the promenade.

Timelines will be monitored through periodic reviews and officials indicated that sections meeting quality checks would be opened to the public as they become ready. The approach aims to balance delivery speed with long term viability so that the new green corridors endure for the community. Residents will be invited to use the new facilities and feedback will inform future phases.

NITI Aayog Unveils Cement Decarbonisation Roadmap

NITI Aayog has released a sector-specific decarbonisation roadmap for cement as part of three green transition reports covering cement, aluminium and MSMEs. The report projects cement production rising to around 2,100 million tonnes by 2070 from 391 million tonnes in 2023, while targeting a reduction in carbon intensity to 0.09–0.13 tCO₂e per tonne. It recommends clinker substitution, refuse-derived fuels, CCUS adoption and carbon trading mechanisms to enable deep decarbonisation. ..
