Cover Story The Rs 3,700 crore Chenani-Nashri tunnel is one such project, in that, it’s India’s first tunnel that is deemed ‘safest’. The distance from Chenani to Nashri has now diminished to 10.9km (between two ends of the tunnel), instead of the existing 41km. Asia’s longest bi-directional tunnel has a 9.35m carriageway and a vertical clearance of 5m. Besides being an engineering marvel, it’s also an economic boon.
Commercial Vehicles The commercial vehicles (CV) market in India is probably going through its best phase in a long time. There is a host of positive drivers that are steering demand upwards, especially in the short to medium term. Regulatory changes like the new emission norms and fuel efficiency standards that the Government is enforcing would also positively impact the industry due to the replacement demand.
