That's because people walked everywhere and used public transit. Car usage and dependency have literally destroyed Mumbai's aesthetics.

@Debashi83484906 @HeyItsSangam Every metro is running at a loss. That's a stupid argument

@raghu_cc @HeyItsSangam You also need to understand it’s not about city, Infrastructure matters. Jaipur metro is suffering loss yet railway minister sanctioned some 13,000 crore for its second phase
English
The audacity to call Jaipur a “big city,” but flip the logic when it’s Bhubaneswar.
Is Odisha only meant to supply raw materials and labour? Why are we denied the same infrastructure as other states?
Why this blatant partiality?

Union Cabinet approved Jaipur Metro Phase 2 (41 km | ₹13,038 Cr) 🚇 Route: Prahladpura to Todi Mod 🚇 Stations: 36 (34 elevated and 2 underground) ✅ Designed to meet future mobility demand.

🚨FRISCO, TEXAS🚨A Frisco student SLAMMED the council for allowing H-1B foreign aliens to flood the city. He also said a substitute teacher who couldn’t speak English marked him tardy due to language barriers. Why is Frisco allowing this?

@HeyItsSangam Bhuvaneswar doesn't need one. Same goes for Patna, Agra and Bhopal too. Indian govt should have focused solely on cities with 3 million plus population and build more. Instead they built a couple lines in every city and no one can use to it's full potential.

@VizagPanda We should rather build a metro. This won't work inside an Indian city

@OdishaGrowthHub It's a small city why do you need a metro? Jaipur is 3 times bigger

🚨 Odisha, are we being left behind?
₹13,000+ Cr approved for Jaipur Metro Phase-2 ✅
But Bhubaneswar Metro was scrapped after ₹250+ Cr already spent ❌
Years of planning. Crores of public money.
And still — no metro for our capital?
Why this injustice to a fast-growing state like Odisha?

Jaipur Metro is running at a loss, yet ₹13,038 crore has been approved for Phase 2.
That’s how long-term investment should work.
Metro projects create massive benefits that can’t always be measured in monetary terms.
This is why scrapping of Bhubaneswar Metro is short-sighted and lack of vision.
The real value of a metro comes when the network expands over multiple phases and connects key daily commute hubs.
You can’t expect profits or high ridership from just a small stretch, like in Bhopal (with only about 6 km of metro line). These systems need time and scale.
We should keep investing for the future. It’s far better than spending crores on freebies.
Our tax money should go into building strong, future-ready infrastructure.

When will 2-wheelers stop overtaking from the left in this country?
Have experienced myself that 2-wheelers will cut you from left even after you giving a left indicator.

We spent a year reverse engineering a part for one of the three services. Even built a sample and showed it to them. The ONLY company to do that.
Lost out on the bid because apparently, we didn't have the production line to make the part. This, when we had already mentioned that we would invest in the machinery.
How can we indigenize when you come up against bureaucracy??

VIDEO | Delhi: Addressing Centre for Air Power Studies (CAPS) and Indian Military Review (IMR) joint seminar, Air Marshal Yalla Umesh, Maintenance Command of the IAF, says, “The complexity of operational tempo and the environment of military aviation demand high-performance systems with exceptional reliability, maintained in an operational state at all times. The military aerospace manufacturing industry has largely grown around licensed manufacturing of airframe structures based on foreign Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) designs. Engines, aggregates, accessories, and avionics are usually supplied as kits. Even when these are manufactured within India, foreign OEMs maintain tight control over critical parts, technology, processes, and raw materials. In essence, we continue to depend on foreign OEMs. This dependency, along with geopolitics, commercial considerations, obsolescence, and OEMs shifting focus to newer products, compels countries like ours to seek sustainable solutions beyond OEM support.” (Full video available on PTI Videos - ptivideos.com)

Going for a VFX-Heavy movie is a huge risk. Doesn't matter how much effort you put in to create the visuals, they are always going to be compared with global standards and most of it is anyway going to look silly. The same happened with Ramayanam.

@Rohith_sPyD3r I think the question was about lack of integration with L&T owned Hyderbad metro with this. With SG owning the whole thing, it should get cleared. If not, there is really something wrong with who ever is approving/ rejecting lines.

#DhurandharTheRevenge made in two parts on a 250 crore budget. A similar project in Tollywood could have spent a minimum of 500 cr for the same film with poor planning and delivered a sub par product.

@AmeyKulkarni_21 Have you seen the built up area of Hongkong? It's practically linear with a lot of green cover, not a sprawling city like Delhi.

One crowded station ≠ a metro-friendly city.
This kind of crowd is routine at Dombivli, Thane, Borivali.
Delhi Metro clocks ~64 lakh daily trips (not people) in a city of 3.5+ crore.
Compare that with MTR—the system it drew inspiration from.
PS: Ridership metrics differ
Bhaumik Gowande@bhaumikgowande
The whole “Delhiites don’t take the metro” is such a false accusation, look at this Hauz Khas metro station literally at capacity. A few more people and the crowd will overspill. The Golden line needs to be expedited and West Delhi needs a direct metro to Gurgaon.

So if the budget is 4000cr, according to you this is what the deer should look like?

Believe me there is a ₹3200 crore difference in the budgets of both films You know they are reusing the VFX elements but you can’t prove it (DNEG worked for Adipurush too)
