Also, not to forget how the 9% GDP growth has been reduced to 4.5% under the great congi leadership. Never knew the paid trolls were assigned by the khangress in SSCI

CBIs record speaks for itself. Whether its against the BJP or former UPA allies, (even on the left wing) like DMK or TMC. If Indians are mature and progressive enough to see through the propaganda, then fair enough, if not, the country will never reach its potential. Supreme Court of India has described the CBI as the "caged parrot" of the Congress party, its hard to disagree with that assessment

Gujarat CM Modi has been more than humble than any normal person would be capable of when describing India. Although it doesn't suit Indian interests, the St Stephens, St Xaviers/St Anne'a agenda.

Gujarati people, (especially from Saurashtra) have seen both Karachi and Bombay fall into the hands of popuilist leaders who have as much economic insight as the average Saurashtrian 6yr old.

Many Gujaratis complain about the "Ghati" (rural Maharastrian) influence on Bombay politics. Truth is, by rejecting the extreme right wing (RSS/VHP/Shiv Sena/VHP) the middle class, whether Gujarati, Marwadi, Parsi, Jain etc can assert their authority without offending the unbelievably insecure Marathi nationalist SS/MNS.

Gujaratis are the only "Indian" subdivision who are prepared to bypass Bombay to determine their wealth etc

I am saying this as a Gujju myself - Using the words like Ghati not allowing non-Gujju/Jains in the societies has what caused outrage amongnst many Maharashtrians and this is what parties like SS / MNS fight for. Get out of this caste/ language mentality and many problems will be solved. If SS was not there Mumbai would have been ruled by Dawood and his goons. It was partially due to their political backing that underworld was eliminated in encounters. And its not only Gujju/Jain/Parsies running the show in Mumbai but its people from whole of India.

And in all the states Political leaders are from rural areas. So Maharashtra is not an exception here.

And the city name is Mumbai not Bombay -try to speak our names and not the name given by the killers of the local people (portuguese).

Let others decide what they wanna call what! I prefer Mumbai over Bombay (cuz Bombay sounds intimidating) but I prefer Calcutta over Kolkata and Madras over Chennai.

Lets move on and not make things personal.

Switching the discussion.....

I can't recollect when exactly, but I remember around 2-3 months ago, there was a discussion about an exhibition center to be constructed in GIFT. Somebody had written that his sources are saying that next edition of some exhibition will be moved from somepart of India to Gujarat in GIFT city...

However, I came across this article today, which is actually a bad news now.. The exhibition that I am referring above is of PlastIndia exhibition and the article says that they are moving in Mahatama Mandir and not GIFT City... I am happy for them to move to Gujarat, but even feeling sad that it is not in GIFT city...

PlastIndia, the country’s largest plastics trade show, will move its next edition in 2015 to an exhibition hall under construction in the western Indian state of Gujarat, in what organisers say will be an upgrade from outdated show grounds it had been using in New Delhi.

The show, to be held 5-10 February, 2015, will now take place at exhibition grounds near the Mahatma Mandir Convention Centre in Ahmedabad, and will be better able to accommodate PlastIndia’s growth, said Bipin Shah, president of the Mumbai-based PlastIndia Foundation, which organizes the event.

I came across the designs for the Multi Level Parking Complex (MLP 2) for GIFT...Sorry I cant share the source.

The location:
Its right next to the Q Towers




The complex comprises of 3 structures: 2 MLPs of 12 storeys each and a commercial tower of around 20-22 storeys...




The Vitth Metro Station is located just opposite to the MLP.

The Q Block is just left to the MLP.




Also the MLP blocks will be built in phases with 3-4 floors by 2014 end and all 12 floors by 2020 (as and when the required traffic volume increases)

[dunefreezer]

Holy shit, that's one massive ML Car Park. 12 floors is a lot, but I do wish they built it all in one go.

[GujuartiSainik]

Hi Rushabh,

Excellent find. Congrats. It looks amazing together with the metro station. I am sure, the construction for this MLP II must be on presently. And who knows they may be building metro station also together with MLP II in this phase-I itself.

I am more than thrilled.

Keep the good work and good finds on.

Great find Rushabh. Design of MLP and commercial tower looks pretty cool. According to GIFT master plan, there is another MLP I block next left to the Q block. And both towers of Q block has underground basement parking. So there will be enough parking facility in this region. One more good thing is that MLP II is just opposite to the metro station. So it will also serve as parking facility for MEGA.

No! Building MLP in phases is a best choice. As Rushabh said, 3-4 floors will be completed by 2014 and will be functioning. As the more towers comes up and more people start moving in GIFT, MLP can be expanded vertically. GIFT is expected to completely functioning by 2020-2022. And this is not the only MLP in GIFT. AFAIK there are 5-6 such MLP buildings are planned in GIFT. And I think all of them will be giant like MLP II and will come up in phases.

Hey buddy, don't sweat it. In my opinion, I don't like things to be built slowly even if its not the best choice. And I already know building it in phases is the best thing for them.

[C-DAC]

Don't get me wrong. Even I don't like slow construction works. I was just telling the truth.

[gandhi.rushabh1992]

If we assume 10 people per office, 4 offices per floor, 30 floors per tower, then the present two towers can accomodate around 2000-2500 people at full capacity.

Assuming that around 1/3 or 1/2 of them will bring cars and the rest of them 2 wheelers until public transport reaches there, we can assume around 600-800 cars and 1500 2-wheelers.

So I think the combined parking spaces of the basements of the Q towers, the spaces behind the 2 towers (See below pic) and 3 floors of the MLP block 1 will more than suffice for the moment.

Space behind the towers:

The official names are Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai, and that's what they should be called.
