High-Rise Engineering Should Be Measured by How a Home Performs Over Time
As Hyderabad becomes denser and residential buildings grow taller, engineering has a greater influence on everyday residential experience.

Hyderabad sold 19,249 homes in the first half of 2026, marginally higher than the same period last year.
Creating a Visual Impression

Green Building and Sustainable Finance: Two Sides of the Same Coin for India's Net Zero Journey
India has committed to net zero by 2070. The number attached to that promise is hard to grasp: $22.7 trillion in capital investment between now and then, with $8.05 trillion of it needed in the next 25 years, according to a recent CFA Society India analysis. The same study warns of a financing gap of $2.5 trillion by 2050, growing to $6.5 trillion by 2070. Most of that shortfall sits in debt, not equity. The real estate sector cannot watch this from the sidelines.

The Three-Layer Building: Rethinking Energy Efficiency From Climate Design to Digital Operation
Buildings still eat up an outsized share of the energy the world burns and the carbon it emits, and in India — where construction is racing ahead even as summers grow longer and harsher — getting this right matters more than most policy conversations acknowledge. A close look at where the industry actually stands today points to a simple idea that gets lost in the rush to add gadgets: energy efficiency is not a shopping list; it is a sequence. Cut the load first. Meet what remains efficiently.
Connectivity and Redevelopment Could Redraw Mumbai’s Urban Map
Mumbai is entering a phase of urban transformation in which infrastructure expansion and redevelopment are likely to increasingly shape each other.

The Great Indian Space Race – Why Bigger Is Suddenly Better
Indian home buyers are stretching their EMIs, their patience, and often whatever goodwill is left in their joint family WhatsApp groups. Everyone, with very few exceptions, now wants a big flat – even if it means longer, heftier EMI tenures. 3BHKs and above now get up to 50% of all property buyer demand. About a decade ago, it was just 30%. Considering that property prices have also increased massively in the last ten years, that is NOT a small jump.

Concurrent upregulation of autophagic flux and induction of the SQSTM1/p62-VCAM-1 axis deter radiosensitivity of triple-negative breast cancer cells
Abstract Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most aggressive subtypes of breast cancer (BC) with higher incidence rates in India.
