Bengaluru commuters may soon see another increase in Namma Metro fares, as the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has proposed a 5 per cent ticket price rise that awaits approval from the Karnataka government. This potential hike comes just a year after a steep fare escalation of up to 71 per cent, which already made Namma Metro one of India’s most expensive metro systems. What’s Being Proposed According to BMRCL sources, the planned revision would raise ticket costs gradually, with a minimum increase of ₹1 and a maximum of ₹5 depending on travel distance. For example, journeys such as Majestic to Whitefield or Bommasandra could move from ₹80 to ₹84 if the hike is approved, while shorter routes like Majestic to Challaghatta would rise from ₹60 to ₹63. The metro authority has suggested implementing this increase soon, arguing it’s necessary to balance rising operational costs. Officials have reportedly told the state government that delaying a small hike now could lead to an even larger increase — up to 10 per cent — next year, adding urgency to the proposal. Commuter Backlash and Political Opposition The proposal has sparked strong opposition from daily riders and political figures alike. Many commuters…  ​Read MoreBusiness Archives - Trak.in - Indian Business of Tech, Mobile & Startups

India may once again see Formula One cars on track, as discussions are underway to bring the championship back to the Buddh International Circuit after more than a decade since the last race was held there in 2013. Formula One Could Return to India After a Decade-Long Absence at Buddh Circuit The central government has informally nudged the current custodians of the circuit to lease the facility to a professional sports management firm for a fixed period, with the aim of enabling the return of the Indian round of the F1 calendar. As part of this push, Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya recently met officials from the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority and asked them to actively explore ways to revive the Grand Prix in India. The move to restart Formula One races is linked to India’s broader strategy of attracting major international sporting events ahead of the 2030 Commonwealth Games in Ahmedabad and to bolster the country’s long-term ambition of hosting the 2036 Olympic Games. The YEIDA currently owns and oversees the Formula One track, which was built at a cost of around ₹2,000 crore, after the original developer, Jaypee Group, declared bankruptcy in June 2024.
