Pune Maharashtra’s biggest ever industrial park, spread over 27,000 hectares, will be set up near the Dighi port in Raigad district. Presently, the state has 55,000 hectares of land under industries.
The Dighi industrial park, for which 5,500 hectares have already been notified for acquisition, will invite all types of industries except chemical units.
Balasaheb Kolekar, regional officer of Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) at Panvel, said the industrial park would fall in the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), which is an ambitious $90 billion industry promotion project of the Union government. He, however, refused to divulge the names of companies which have shown interest in setting up plants in the industrial park, saying discussions with these firms were still on.
South Korean steel giant POSCO plans to expand its projects in Raigad district of Maharashtra, with three more units at an investment of over INR 1,000 crore. As per report one of the three units a specialized steel mill would be set up jointly with Steel Authority of India Ltd.
In March, after two years of negotiations with MIDC, POSCO broke ground for its first facility at Vile Bhagad in Raigad where it will invest INR 4,000 crore. The continuous galvanized line plant with hot-dip facility has an annual production capacity of 450,000 tons.

Bangalore has witnessed one of the most robust growth and higher price trajectory patterns in comparison to other cities in India. Real estate in Bangalore has been signified with robust growth, steadiness in prices and a positive purchasing pattern from customers who intend to purchase plots, flats and villas in and around Bangalore.
Across the world, the phenomenon of price growth has a very unique pattern and the same pattern is seen to be followed in every city in India, including Bangalore.
Detailed studies by various real estate funds, managements and related research organisations have confirmed this pattern. This pattern, in simple terms, means, 'The real estate prices in the outskirts of the city (whichever city you are in) grow faster than in the inner city or CBD area'. The CBD stands for central business district of the city or metro concerned. The CBD area would consist largely of BBMP areas in Bangalore.
As far as Bangalore is concerned, the outskirts includes Sarjapur, Hoskote, Bidadi, and Devanahalli areas including the new international airport areas, and other areas covering Bangalore as a shell to the CBD area.
I have been in the real estate business for the last one and half decades and have known this phenomenon for the same number of years, and have been personally tracking the data in Bangalore and Kerala. All my favourite investments have been based on this principle and have always reaped rich dividends by the 'investments in outskirts strategy'. Those who have purchased flats, villas or plots in the outskirts have earned higher returns on investments, which in financial terms means 'ROI' or returns on investments.

BANGALORE: The Indian Institute of Management-Bangalore (IIM-B), the country's third oldest IIM, will spread its wings to Anekal.
The state government has leased 110 acres for the second campus of IIM-B at Mahanthalingapura in Anekal taluk (Jigani hobli), which will be the hub of future expansion activities of the 38-year-old B-school.
The new campus __ almost the same size as that of the existing one in South Bangalore __ will host IIM-B's proposed incubation centre aimed at encouraging entrepreneurship besides executive education programmes. Unlike IIM-Ahmedabad and IIM-Lucknow which have opened campuses in other states, IIM-B says it doesn't favour having split campuses in other Indian cities.

It's Anekal, in spite of being away from the CBD, that is climbing up the popularity charts, feels R.Y.N. Rao
With the real estate scenario in Bangalore evolving all the time, it is natural for us to hear of newer places, further away from the CBD area, climb up the popularity charts.
One such place is Anekal. Situated in the southern part of Bangalore, it is around 40 km from the city centre.
The name of the area literally translates to ‘elephant stone' and is also known as ‘Gajashella Pura,' meaning the ‘town of elephant rock.'
Anekal has two primary stretches — one which goes from Chandapura to Anekal and the other is from Bannerghatta road to Anekal.
