India imposes overload fees up to four times the base rate on National Highways Change India's Ministry of Road Transport and Highways notified rules effective April 15, 2026 that charge vehicles carrying more than 10% excess weight at twice the base fee and vehicles carrying over 40% excess weight at four times the base fee, with fees collected via FASTag — an electronic toll-collection tag — and determined by certified weighment devices at toll plazas. Why it matters Carriers and shippers must now accept that measured overloads trigger tiered, mandatory surcharges and a recorded regulatory entry in the National Vehicle Register (VAHAN) — the central database of vehicle records. Where certified weighment is not available at a plaza, overload surcharges cannot be applied, shifting the locus of compliance to plazas with installed scales.

India’s NCLAT confines real estate insolvency proceedings to project-level claims Change India’s National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) confined the corporate insolvency resolution process (CIRP) to the specific defaulted real estate project and directed that claim filings be limited to that project with a 14-day submission window under the CIRP Regulations, 2016. Why it matters The order establishes a project-level ring-fence in real estate insolvency: claims, recoveries, and resolution assets are restricted to the specific defaulted project rather than the developer’s wider portfolio. Cross-project claims or offsets will not be recognised within the same CIRP, altering recovery expectations and claim strategy for all stakeholders.

India requires aviation clearance for construction within 56 km of Mysuru Airport Change India’s Airports Authority of India (AAI) mandated that all construction within a 56 km radius of Mysuru Airport must obtain prior height-clearance approval before work can begin. Why it matters Construction within the zone is now gated by aviation clearance — projects cannot commence without approval, introducing a binding regulatory step that can delay timelines and alter permitting sequences.
