After the Union Development Ministry, now the UP government has allotted funds for the speedy progress of the Lucknow Metro. The Metro rail project along with other regulatory reforms will give a fillip to the city's property market.

Earlier this year, megastar Amitabh Bachchan said that his assets would be equally divided between his two children, son Abhishek and daughter Shweta. Let us look at how much real estate the mega star owns.

Concrete is a popular and commonly used construction material. One of the major disadvantages of concrete, is its low tensile strength and its need to be reinforced with suitable substances, to prevent formation of cracks. Scientists in the west have discovered some special bacteria, which when mixed with the concrete aggregates, gives a self-healing capacity to the structure. When cracks develop on a surface and are exposed to moisture, the limestone-producing bacteria could refill the gaps. Sustainability and affordability would be the biggest advantage of bio-concrete and research are still underway, to make it available for complete commercial use.

The election agenda of now UP CM Akhilesh Yadav has a close connect with the state’s infrastructural scenario. The leader is looking forward to implementing three promising greenfield expressways in the state including an expressway in Bundelkhand, the Bijnor-Moradabad-Fatehgarh Expressway and the Greater Noida-Muzaffarnagar Expressway. All three projects will be supervised and executed by Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority. These expressway projects will be developed on the lines of the popular Agra-Lucknow Expressway and Lucknow-Ghazipur Expressway.

The Agra Lucknow Expressway opens for public use from December 23, and will be connecting national capital via the Yamuna Expressway. As the travel time will be reduced to six hours from 10 at present, the expressway will be acting as a catalyst for the Noida real estate market. This is expected to impact Noida realty as investors from small cities of Shikohabad, Firozabad, Etawah, Kannauj, Kanpur and Unnao have started showing interest in areas close to expressways.
