The state’s warehouse boom is redefining its industrial growth while posing difficult questions about planning and sustainability. Discussions about infrastructure in Maharashtra almost invariably gravitate towards marquee projects like the Mumbai Coastal Road, the Samruddhi Mahamarg, the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link or the upcoming Vadhavan Port.

How SN Subrahmanyan Is Shaping L&T's AI Future For more than eight decades, Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has been synonymous with India's physical infrastructure, delivering metro systems, airports, power plants and some of the country's most complex engineering projects. Under L&T Chairman SN Subrahmanyan, however, the company's definition of infrastructure is expanding.

For decades, India's infrastructure story was measured in kilometres of highways, megawatts of power generation, ports, airports and industrial corridors. Today, that definition is evolving. Infrastructure is no longer limited to physical assets; it increasingly includes digital platforms, AI-ready data centres, renewable energy networks and smart urban ecosystems that power economic growth. This transformation is being shaped by a new generation of business leaders who view

As Indian cities swell, the government must treat public transport as critical infrastructure rather than a social service. A central idea in modern urban planning is that real progress is not when the poor own cars, but when the wealthy use public transport. Often attributed to Columbian President Gustavo Petro, it originates from Enrique Peñalosa, former Mayor of Bogotá, whose reforms showed that strong public transit and equitable urban spaces define development. In India,
