Q:The state government of Odisha will soon form a special purpose vehicle (SPV) for effective implementation of different projects under the Smart City scheme.
Latest Answer: Hi all,
I hear that the plot for the BTCD has been identified and faces Janpath Road on the east, Udyan Marg on the south, railway tracks on the west, and Maharishi College Road on the north. It houses key landmarks such as Ashoka Market, Master Canteen Chowk, Bhubaneswar Railway Station, Ram Mandir and Rajmahal Chowk.
Latest Answer: Hi Shreya,
It definitely is refreshing to hear that the Mumbai proposal is the lowest among the 10 major cities. However, I am skeptical as to how far this will remain accurate when it comes to the implementation of the project. If we look at the past project proposals both in Mumbai as well as other cities in the country we an see that more often that not they have overshot their initial estimate. While the low proposal is still welcome, I doubt that the project will be able to stick to it's proposal considering the high amounts of corruption, bureaucracy etc.

Latest Answer: Hi Everybody,
Let's finger crossed and hope for the best for all sector. Primarily, the Budget will see the government's important projects, including the Smart Cities project, getting much support, including upcoming special economic zones to see reduced alternate tax and dividend distribution taxes. The government may also rationalize duties and set the differential MAT rate at (5-10)%. The government is also expected to give incentives to banks that are losing money over zero-account bank schemes.
