Mumbai, 14^th July, 2025: Rosmerta Group, India’s leading mobility solutions provider, has been awarded a landmark Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) project worth ₹166.69 Crores to develop 10 state-of-the-art Automated Driving Testing Tracks (ADTTs) across Maharashtra. The 5-year project strengthens Rosmerta’s position as a national leader in driving automation and road safety technology.

The 10 locations, namely, Sindhudurg, Sangli, Akluj, Osmanabad, Jalna, Hingoli, Yavatmal, Wardha, Bhandara, and Gadchiroli, will soon benefit from fully automated, video analytics-based driving test infrastructure. These tracks are designed to eliminate human bias in driver assessments, enabling real-time, transparent, and contactless evaluation of driving skills along with applicant verification using face-recognition.

Rosmerta’s patented system for automated driving tests leverages video analytics, advanced networks, and AI-driven decision engines to conduct driving assessments with high accuracy. The new Maharashtra ADTTs will feature customizable test parameters, real-time performance tracking, monitoring driver behaviour and the ability to simulate night driving and complex road scenarios, pushing the boundaries of testing precision in India.

Key Features of Rosmerta’s ADTT model:

• Contactless Testing: 100% automation with zero human intervention
• Real-Time Analytics: Online and real-time Video processing from multiple camera feeds to detect violations committed by candidate, while driving
• Advanced Infrastructure: Capability for night tests, reverse S,Parking, and slope tracking
• Proven Impact: Over 1.6 million tests conducted at Rosmerta ADTTs since inception
• Exclusive Expertise: Operator of 12 government-run ADTTs in Delhi since 2021.

Kartick Nagpal, President, Rosmerta Group, stated, “This project marks another important milestone in our commitment to modernising India’s road safety infrastructure through technology. By deploying fully automated, contactless driving testing tracks across Maharashtra, we are enhancing transparency and consistency in driver assessments while making these services more accessible at the local level. We applaud the Maharashtra State Transport Department for taking a leadership role in building advanced, digital infrastructure that will contribute to safer roads and responsible driving across the state.”

Rosmerta’s expanding ADTT footprint is aligned with the Government of India’s push towards digitization and safer mobility ecosystems under the Surakshit Safar initiative. By deploying unbiased, data-driven driver assessment systems, Rosmerta is not only redefining the driver licensing process but also contributing to a long-term reduction in road accidents. By ensuring only genuinely qualified drivers are licensed, these tracks serve as a critical step toward safer roads, responsible driving, and a more secure future for all road users.

National, 14 July, 2025: Hindware Limited, India’s leading bathware brand, announced the launch of its state-of-the-art Premiere Brand Store in Kolkata, West Bengal. The newly inaugurated store further strengthens Hindware’s growing presence in the East, marking a significant step in its retail expansion strategy. With this addition, the company now operates 4 Brand Stores in Kolkata and 30 across West Bengal.

Strategically located at Ichapore, the new Brand Store ‘Tirupati Sales Corporation’ is designed to offer consumers, architects, and interior designers immersive brand experience across Hindware’s diverse bathware portfolio. The store features an extensive range of products, from sanitaryware and faucets to showers, basins, and premium selections from Queo (a premium brand by Hindware), Hindware Italian Collection, and the iconic Hindware brand.

Visitors can explore Hindware’s comprehensive bathware selection, from water-efficient designer faucets and stylish showers to intelligent toilets and cutting-edge hygiene solutions designed for advanced bathroom experiences.

Kolkata has emerged among India’s fastest-growing metropolitan markets, driven by a confluence of infrastructure investments, urban renewal initiatives, and robust real estate activity. This dynamic growth makes it a key market for Hindware’s retail expansion.

Commenting on the launch, Mr. Nirupam Sahay, Chief Executive Officer, Bath & Tiles, Hindware Limited said, “Kolkata’s rapid urban growth and evolving consumer aspirations have positioned it as a key market in our expansion strategy. With four Brand Stores in the city and 30 across the state, our growing retail presence reflects the trust consumers have in the brand.

National, 14th July, 2025: Home sales in India’s 8 prime residential markets declined 14% annually in the April-June quarter as pricing concerns forced buyers to opt for a wait-and-watch mode, shows the latest report by digital real estate transaction & advisory platform PropTiger.com.

 According to the report titled ‘Real Insight Residential- April – June 2025’ by PropTiger.com—part of REA India, which also owns Housing.com— sales fell across cities, barring Bengaluru, Chennai and Kolkata. The sharpest dip in sales during the quarter was seen in the MMR (-32%) and Pune (-27%). On a sequential basis, overall sales remained flat, with many markets showing growth.  MMR (27%), Pune and Bengaluru (16% each) were the biggest contributors to the quarterly sales, together claiming a 59% share in overall numbers.

 Mr. Sridhar Srinivasan, Head of Sales, PropTiger.com said, “The short-term dip in home sales and new launches is more of a recalibration than a sign of waning demand. Affordability pressures, particularly in the budget and mid-income segments, have led to some cautious buyer sentiment. However, underlying demand remains intact, as evidenced by strong sequential growth in several cities and the continued dominance of key markets like MMR, Pune, and Bengaluru.”

“We’re also seeing clear intent from developers to stay invested—especially in premium offerings—amid a wave of strategic land acquisitions in the first half of 2025. This signals long-term confidence in India’s housing market, driven by sound macro fundamentals and consumer aspiration,” Mr. Srinivasan added.

 Launches fall amid demand moderation

The report showed new supply falling both quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year as geopolitical factors adversely affected demand in Q2, a quarter during which the border conflict between India and neighbouring Pakistan escalated, resulting in each side launching a strike on the other.

A city-wise analysis shows varying trends, with MMR, Pune and Ahmedabad registering a fall in launches while new supply increased in other markets. In Kolkata, launches nearly tripled in the June quarter, primarily due a low base.

“Supported by sectoral performance and improving consumption trends, macroeconomic indicators point to India’s resilience in a turbulent global environment. So, this is not a demand-specific issue per se. The dip in both sales and launches have to do with the fact that housing affordability has worsened after a prolonged period of dramatic growth in average costs, severely affecting the affordable housing segment,” the company said in a statement.
