Shri Infratech launches integrated township Vedic City
DELHI: Announcing the advent of a grand new concept for Delhi-NCR region, Shri Infratech today announced its magnificent integrated township project ‘Vedic City’. Located in the region of Greater Noida, the design and aesthetics of this grand project are inspired from Vedic era and yet imbibing the most modern aspects of urban planning.
Spread across a vast area of 580 acres, the architectural marvel is reminiscent of the golden era of the dynasties of Ashoka and the great Mauryan rulers. The aesthetic beauty of township is further magnified with presence of stone carvings, pillars, monuments and sculptures which relives the past forms in the glory of modern technology.
The township consists of group housing, independent villas and plots overlooking beautiful lakes and manicured lawns, for those culture-connoisseurs looking for a peaceful home amidst lush green surrounding. Fabricated in a controlled biosphere that is environment-friendly complying with the green norms and pollution mandates, this unique project stands to achieve the distinction of being one of its kind in Asia which is not only promising to be a buyers’ pride but also a visual delight.
Located in the economically vibrant zone, Vedic City will house an IT Hub within its boundary and will have provisions for a helipad, world class – the museum, art gallery with a collection ranging from the historic to the pre-historic, Knowledge Park, a Stadia and unique sporting facilities, world-class electric commuting system through out the township, Super-specialty Hospital, Yoga Ashram, art gallery, 30-acres of theme-based park with mango and orchid trees and last but not the least environment friendly waste disposal system.
The township is connected to Delhi though NH-91 and has entry-point from the proposed Eastern Peripheral Expressway, besides two entry-points from a 45-meters wide master plan road. The Taj Expressway connects it to historic city of Agra. The metro connectivity has been proposed and nearest metro station will be Bodaki. The close proximity to Dedicated Freight Corridor adds another dimension to project’s magnetic appeal.
Announcing the launch, Mr. Manoj Dwivedi, Chairman & Managing Director (CMD) of Shri Infratech said, “The architectural marvel of ancient structures has always inspired us to have a residential space surrounded with design and beauty of Vedic era. With this project, we are putting that inspiration into practice. We expect ‘Vedic City’ to be a benchmark for projects in the future.”

Network18 Q4 revenue grows 9.7 per cent, EBITDA at Rs 30 crore
PAT improves to Rs 306.6 crore, margins steady amid cost pressures.
MUMBAI: Not all news is breaking, some of it is quietly improving. Network18 Media & Investments Limited appears to be doing just that, tightening losses and stabilising margins even as costs continue to weigh on the business. For FY26, the company reported revenue from operations of Rs 1,955.1 crore, up from Rs 1,896.2 crore in FY25, signalling modest top-line growth in a challenging media environment. Total income stood at Rs 1,978.2 crore, compared to Rs 1,913 crore a year earlier.
Profit after tax came in at Rs 306.6 crore for the year, a sharp turnaround from Rs 3,225.4 crore in FY25, largely reflecting the absence of large exceptional items that had inflated the previous year’s numbers. On a more comparable basis, the company’s operating performance showed signs of gradual stabilisation.
However, the quarterly picture remained under pressure. For the March quarter, Network18 reported a loss of Rs 53.1 crore, narrower than the Rs 98.1 crore loss in the same period last year, but still indicative of ongoing cost challenges.
Expenses continued to track high. Total expenses for FY26 stood at Rs 2,235.7 crore, up from Rs 2,197.8 crore in FY25. Key cost heads included operational expenses of Rs 765.9 crore, employee benefits of Rs 475.9 crore, and marketing, distribution and promotional spends of Rs 427.1 crore, underlining the continued investment required to sustain reach and engagement.
At an operating level, margins remained under strain. Operating margin stood at 2.33 per cent for FY26, marginally higher than 1.77 per cent in FY25, while net profit margin remained negative at -13.02 per cent, though improved from -14.89 per cent.
On the balance sheet, total assets rose to Rs 8,957.6 crore as of 31 March 2026, from Rs 8,317.5 crore a year earlier. Equity strengthened to Rs 4,958.7 crore, while borrowings increased to Rs 3,112.8 crore, reflecting a higher reliance on debt to support operations.
Cash flows told a mixed story. While financing activities generated Rs 83.9 crore, operating cash flow remained negative at Rs -24 crore, highlighting ongoing pressure on core cash generation. Cash and cash equivalents, however, improved to Rs 33.9 crore from Rs 1.8 crore.
The numbers point to a company in transition growing revenues, trimming losses, but still grappling with structural cost pressures. In a sector where scale often comes at a price, Network18 seems to be inching towards balance, one quarter at a time.
