Mumbai, Delhi in world's top-30 'super cities'


Two Indian cities — Delhi and Mumbai — have made it to a top-30 list of the world’s most powerful, productive and connected cities.
According to the study conducted by international real estate consultancy JLL, India’s financial capital Mumbai has been ranked 22nd while the national capital Delhi is placed at 24th.

The list is topped by Tokyo, which along with New York, London and Paris, make the top four ‘super cities’. These four were the destination of over 50 per cent of all foreign capital invested in the Global Top 30 cities. JLL said its Top-30 global cities account for 64 per cent of the total cross-border investment into the ‘Global300’ — an expanded index of the cities in terms of their “commercial attraction” or economic and real estate power and status.

Delhi's trial run with odd-even system begins today


A ambitious odd-even plan for vehicles has kicked off from 8 am in Delhi today. The plan, devised by the Arvind Kejriwal led Delhi government is on a 15-day trial and is aimed to reduce vehicular pollution in the capital city which is at an all time high, and is often compared with Beijing, the most polluted city in the world. 

Only odd-numbered cars can be driven on Delhi streets today if you are not on the multiple exemption lists released by the government last week.
