Datsun provides a sustainable motoring experience to optimistic up-and-coming customers in high-growth markets. Datsun represents 80 years of accumulated Japanese car-making expertise and is an important part of Nissan's DNA. The new Datsun brand stands for Dream, Access and Trust. The overall Datsun customer offer includes a worry-free ownership experience at competitive cost, accessible services, with transparent pricing and dealership proximity. Datsun cars are on sale now in India, Indonesia, Russia and South Africa.   Datsun History   Datsun originated in Japan as DAT-GO (the DAT-car) almost a century ago in 1914. The word DAT means ‘lightning-fast’ in Japanese but is also a reference to the first letters of family names of the three financiers who supported the business at the time: Den, Aoyama and Takeuchi. Using the same logic, it was promoted as Durable, Attractive and Trustworthy, or DAT for short.   In 1933, Nissan’s founding father Yoshisuke Aikawa took over the business with a vision of “mobility for all”. The introduction of a light-weight, economical yet resilient car to meet the aspirations of young Japanese people in the early 1930s was named the ‘son of DAT’ – Datson - which later changed to Datsun. Local engineering and mass-production made the founder’s dream a reality.                                                                                                       Media Contact Details Rahul Mathur, Nissan Motor India Pvt.

BWI: 'The NDZ and Salt Pan Land Proposal has Potential to Create Homes for LIG and EWC Segments, as Also a Slum-Free Mumbai': Niranjan Hiranandani

Source : Hiranandani Communities Friday, April 29, 2016 5:50PM IST (12:20PM GMT)   'The NDZ and Salt Pan Land Proposal has Potential to Create Homes for LIG and EWC Segments, as Also a Slum-Free Mumbai': Niranjan Hiranandani   Mumbai, Maharashtra, India The Mumbai Municipal Corporation has proposed opening up 5,189 acres of land which at present is in the ‘no development zone’ (NDZ) as also 642 acres of salt pan lands within Mumbai Municipal Corporation’s limits. This is part of the new Development Plan which should be submitted to the BMC's general body shortly, said Niranjan Hiranandani, MD, Hiranandani Communities.   Last year, the Maharashtra Government has appointed a committee to supervise a plan for optimum utilization of salt pan lands in Mumbai. There was a suggestion that the salt pan lands in the city and the suburbs could be used for building affordable houses and civic amenities, such as open spaces. “Any good move on part of the powers that be, either the Municipal Corporation or the State Government, is welcome,” said Niranjan Hiranandani, MD, Hiranandani Communities. “The fact that the DP will look at the possibility of housing projects, to build affordable houses for people, on areas that are not ecologically sensitive is also welcome. Beyond the positive aspect, my thoughts are on how this also has the potential to help meet the challenge of a slum-free Mumbai,” he added.   Media reports suggest the proposal has the potential, considering both, NDZ and salt pan lands, to provide a much needed boost for development of about 1 million affordable housing units. Plus, the unlocking of these lands, on areas that are not ecologically sensitive, has the potential to help develop more social amenities in Mumbai.   “If one looks at the past decade, the story of Mumbai’s real estate has largely, remained constant: high demand for affordable homes, not enough support in form of restrictive rules and regulations, zoning and permissible FSI norms, excessive time taken for permissions and clearances. I have always felt that the powers that be, from the Centre to the State and the Local Self Bodies – not to forget bodies like Environment Clearance, or the DGCA for height clearance of structures from a flight path perspective – were more of ‘regulators’ than ‘facilitators’,’ explained Niranjan Hiranandani.   This has always resulted in directly impacting land availability for real estate development, he said. “To give an example, NDZ and salt pan lands, if allowed change in usage - on areas that are not ecologically sensitive - can be used for creation of low cost housing for LIG and EWC segments. This is why the proposal has the potential to be positive, utilization of NDZ and salt pan lands for building homes should be welcomed by Mumbaikars, said Niranjan Hiranandani.   “The proposal definitely has the potential to impact availability of land for real estate development, and if taken in sync with the proposed additional FSI for such projects, this should have a positive impact on making homes available for affordable and budget home seekers in Mumbai,” he added.   How will NDZ and salt pan lands in the city and the suburbs being used for building affordable houses impact Mumbai’s real estate? “The answer is simple,” said Niranjan Hiranandani. “If implemented properly and in a time-bound manner, things always work out better. But, any such proposal needs to be supplemented with other ‘positives’, such as infrastructure projects and policy decisions which help make it a reality,” he added.   “So, the proposal on NDZ and salt pan lands has the potential for not just enhancing the availability of land for real estate development, but it also needs support from citizens, as also time-bound infrastructure development to create the possibility of Mumbai’s LIG and EWC segment of home seekers finally getting their dream homes become a reality,” he concluded.   Media Contact Details Ritika Shah, Media Manager +91-9833461094, , rshah@hrealty.com   To ensure that you continue to receive email from Business Wire India in your inbox, please add businesswireindia.com to your Address Book or Safe List.   To submit a press release, click here.

It will be unique in its membership, its talents, and its goals, but it will share in the broader vision of Rotary: to educate our children, to provide clean water and improve health, to rid the world of polio, and to bring peace in a lasting and innovative way. Chartering a new club requires work that is not always easy, but that is always rewarding. With your fellow club members and with Rotary members around the globe, you are creating the future of Rotary,” said Mr. K. R. Ravindran, the Rotary International President, in a message to the club president.   “It is great to have many new members join in and come on board the all-new Rotary Bengaluru Basavanagudi club to further spearhead the efforts of Rotary International. We must indeed always think global, but act local first, for responsible leadership means not just doing work for the world very far off, but also making the most out of every donation we receive from time to time and ensuring that it works for specific objectives of the community and society we live in first,” said Rtn. Krishna B. Mariyanka, President, Rotary Club of Bengaluru Basavanagudi, in his acceptance speech.   Members of Rotary Bengaluru Basavanagudi under Rotary International District 3190 usually gather weekly for breakfast, lunch, or dinner to fulfill their first guiding principle to develop friendships as an opportunity for service. “It is the duty of all Rotarians," states the Manual of Procedure "outside their clubs, to be active as individuals in as many legally constituted groups and organizations as possible to promote, not only in words but through exemplary dedication, awareness of the dignity of all people and the respect of the consequent human rights of the individual. The Rotarian's primary motto is "Service Above Self"; its secondary motto is "One profits most who serves best.” For more information about Rotary Bengaluru Basavanagudi, please click: www.rotarybb.org   “I believe that Rotary Bengaluru Basavanagudi has great potential to serve the society and shall become a beacon of hope for the community and Rotary District 3190.

President Krishna Mariyanka, will be able to do a lot more for the community,” said Flt. Lt. Rtn. K. P. Nagesh, District Governor, RID 3190, who presented the club charter at the event.   Speaking on the occasion, Chief Guest of the installation ceremony, Mr. Prakash Belawadi in his special address said, “Many times, through various network of resources and partners, we seek help and focus on key service efforts such as promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water, saving mothers and children, supporting education, growing local economies and fight for a better Bengaluru. Basavanagudi has a great history and heritage to its credit and a Rotary club for the community here can only make it a better place to live in and therefore, it is the last chance and duty of every citizen of this neighborhood to save Bengaluru, before it is lost forever.” Bells & Bugles, the first issue of Rotary Bengaluru Basavanagudi newsletter, was released to mark the charter ceremony.   Board of Directors of Rotary Bengaluru Basavanagudi for the year 2015-16:   President: Rtn.

Pruthi, Former Member, Customs Excise & Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT) ATA Carnet Workshop in Kolkata organised by FICCI and Mr. M.K. Sharma, Dy. Commissioner of Customs, Kolkata addressed the Workshop on ATA Carnet jointly organized by FICCI, ICC Asia, World ATA Carnet Council (WATAC), Paris and Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO), Kolkata highlighted the importance of the ATA Carnet instrument for the business community and also challenges faced by Customs.  Mrs. Lee Ju Song, Executive Director of ICC Asia and Member of the World ATA Carnet Council, Paris, addressed the gathering and participated in the deliberations and sessions which discussed the importance of expanding the ATA Carnet system in India.   The workshop drew participation from senior customs officials, industry experts, extensive representation from export promotion councils, film associations, freight forwarding companies, customs house agents, fair and exhibition organizers. This event provided exporters and business experts with a unique opportunity to share their mutually beneficial knowledge and experiences. The industry discussed issues involved with respect to temporary imports of goods and drew benefit from the deliberations of the sessions.   ATA Carnet is a temporary admission document, which simplifies the customs procedures and clearances in a foreign country, without paying duty or a bank guarantee for temporary import into that country. Like a passport for goods, ATA Carnet allows for the goods for which it was issued to enter any of the participating countries for up to one year. An ATA Carnet holder can avoid customs declaration and can do away with security deposit or guarantee in the country of temporary importation. In India, FICCI is the sole National Guarantor for ATA Carnets.   ATA Carnet covers several areas for use including trade fairs, shows, exhibitions, meetings etc. for temporary export into a country, which is a signatory to the conventions governing ATA Carnets. Goods must be re-exported out of every country and re-imported into India within a year. At present 75 countries recognize ATA Carnet, including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Spain, UAE, UK and USA.   The Government is actively considering to expand the scope of ATA Carnet System. At present, India is a signatory to convention on Exhibition and fairs only. It is proposed to expand the same to cover commercial samples, professional equipment, private exhibitions, film shootings, musical troupes, sports and media coverage etc. FICCI, which is the National Issuing and Guaranteeing Association (NIGA) for implementing ATA Carnets in India, is pursuing the matter with the Ministry of Finance for the expansion of scope of system to cover professional equipment and commercial samples.
