11 March,2026 09:05 PM IST | Mumbai | Asif RizviMaharashtra Health Minister Prakash Abitkar on Tuesday directed health insurance companies and hospitals to keep policyholders at the centre of their services, while assuring that the state government will examine complaints received from insured patients. He was speaking at a joint meeting held at Mantralaya in Mumbai with representatives of the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI), private insurance companies, and private hospitals to discuss issues related to delays in claim approvals and allegedly excessive medical billing by hospitals. Abitkar said the government had received several complaints from policyholders regarding difficulties in obtaining claim approvals from insurance companies and the high medical bills charged by private hospitals. The meeting was convened to establish a standard mechanism to address these concerns and ensure smoother coordination between insurers and hospitals. Representatives from major insurance companies, including Reliance, Tata, SBI, Star Health, HDFC and AIG attended the meeting, along with representatives from leading hospitals such as Vockhardt, Lilavati, Jaslok and Reliance. “Even though insurance companies and hospitals operate on commercial lines, the patient must remain the central focus,” the minister said. Representatives from insurance firms, private hospitals, IRDAI, and the state health department discussed the possibility of evolving a standard operating framework to safeguard patient welfare. Abitkar noted that the number of people opting for health insurance is steadily increasing, and providing satisfactory services to policyholders is the responsibility of both hospitals and insurance companies. He warned that if irregularities are found, the government will initiate appropriate action. Maharashtra minister calls for time-bound claim approvals, transparency in hospital billing Highlighting Maharashtra’s potential for medical tourism, Abitkar said cities such as Mumbai, Pune and Nagpur offer advanced medical facilities, specialist doctors and robust healthcare infrastructure. He urged hospitals to improve services and enhance public trust in the healthcare system. The minister also directed hospitals across the state to register on the IRDAI portal and keep their information updated. He stressed the need to fix a definite time limit for approving insurance claims, noting that lack of coordination between hospitals and insurance companies often leads to mental and financial stress for patients. “The government will take necessary decisions to ensure that patients receive timely treatment and that the claim process becomes more transparent and easier,” he said. At present, around 7,000 to 8,000 hospitals in the state provide insurance-linked medical services. The government has received complaints of irregularities in some cases, and Abitkar said action will be taken under the Bombay Nursing Act wherever necessary. He also emphasised the need to make it mandatory for major hospitals to display clear rate charts for treatments. With different hospitals charging varying rates for the same illness, the meeting discussed the need to develop standard treatment protocols. The minister further said the government is considering the creation of a common empanelment mechanism for insurance companies and hospitals. Hospitals and insurers were also asked to regularly submit data on approved and rejected claims, along with details of complaints, to the health department. Complaints received from Maharashtra will be shared by IRDAI for study and corrective measures, and the state is likely to become the first in the country to initiate such a process. Abitkar said improving trust in the medical profession remains a priority for the government and reiterated that no patient should face difficulties in receiving treatment or insurance claim benefits. Health Services Commissioner Dr Kadambari Balkawade, Director of Health Services Dr Nitin Ambadekar, Joint Director Dr Sunita Golhait, and other senior officials of the public health department were also present at the meeting.

11 March,2026 06:16 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentMaharashtra is on course to become India’s first trillion-dollar sub-national economy in the coming years, driven by sustained industrial expansion, infrastructure development and increased adoption of emerging technologies, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said on Tuesday, reported news agency PTI. Fadnavis made the remarks during an on-stage conversation with actor Aamir Khan at the ‘Lokmat Maharashtrian of the Year Awards 2026’ organised by Lokmat Media Group at the Gateway of India. Maharashtra among largest regional economies Highlighting the state’s economic progress, Fadnavis said Maharashtra already holds the position of India’s largest sub-national economy and continues to strengthen its global economic footprint, reported PTI. “If Maharashtra were an independent country, it would rank among the world’s top 30 economies. With sustained growth momentum, Maharashtra is on track to become India’s first trillion-dollar sub-national economy in the coming years,” the chief minister said, reported PTI. He attributed the state’s growth trajectory to industrial development, large-scale infrastructure projects and technological innovation across multiple sectors. No plan to ban social media for under-16 users Fadnavis also addressed concerns regarding the growing influence of social media on younger users, stating that although the issue is being closely monitored, the government currently has no plans to introduce a law banning social media usage for individuals under the age of 16, reported PTI. He noted that the rapid growth of social media platforms has created new governance challenges, particularly due to algorithm-driven systems designed to maximise user engagement. “Most social media platforms rely heavily on AI-driven algorithms designed to maximise engagement, which has significantly reduced attention spans, especially among children. Protecting young minds from this challenge is important,” he said, reported PTI. The chief minister added that while no legal restrictions are currently being considered, the government is studying the issue and may introduce appropriate measures if necessary. AI revolution brings opportunities and challenges Speaking about technological advancements, Fadnavis said the rise of artificial intelligence presents both opportunities and challenges for governance, public administration and economic growth. “The wave of AI is unstoppable, and we must proactively prepare ourselves for it,” he said, reported PTI. As an example, he highlighted the Mahavistaar platform, an AI-enabled application that provides real-time agricultural insights to farmers in regional languages. According to the chief minister, nearly three million farmers are currently using the platform to access information related to crop management and agricultural practices. Focus on climate resilience and renewable energy Fadnavis also emphasised the state government’s commitment to sustainable development and climate resilience. He said Maharashtra has set an ambitious target of planting three billion trees over the next seven years as part of environmental conservation efforts. Additionally, the government plans to provide 16,000 megawatts of solar power to farmers to support agricultural activities while promoting renewable energy adoption. (With inputs from PTI)

11 March,2026 05:23 PM IST | Mumbai | Ronak MastakarIn line with the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) directive to significantly enhance non-ticket revenue streams for Indian Railways, Western Railway (WR) has set an ambitious target to double its Non-Fare Revenue (NFR) in the coming financial year. The decision was discussed during a high-level brainstorming meeting chaired by Western Railway's Principal Chief Commercial Manager (PCCM) Tarun Jain, who held discussions with Senior Divisional Commercial Managers (Sr. DCMs) from across the zone to chart out strategies for achieving the goal. PMO push to double Indian Railways' non-fare revenue The initiative follows a national mandate to increase Indian Railways' Non-Fare Revenue from Rs 750 crore to Rs 1,500 crore through innovative commercial strategies and better utilisation of railway assets. Western Railway has already reported strong performance in this segment, earning Rs 117 crore in NFR as of February 2026 in the current financial year. Building on this momentum, the zone has set a target of Rs 239.24 crore for FY 2026–27. Officials said the focus will be on leveraging innovative commercial models and expanding revenue streams beyond traditional advertising formats. Successful station innovation models highlighted During the meeting, Tarun Jain highlighted several successful initiatives across WR stations that have gained public appreciation and demonstrated the potential of commercial innovation within railway premises. These include the Digital Lounge at Mumbai Central, which has upgraded the passenger waiting experience with modern amenities and digital facilities, and Ratlam’s Mini Mall, which provides organised retail outlets and daily essentials within the station premises. Another notable example is the AC-cum-Digital Lounge at Ahmedabad, which combines premium comfort with technology-driven services for passengers. According to railway officials, these projects showcase how stations can evolve from simple transit points into modern service hubs for travellers. Focus on asset monetisation and digital advertising To achieve the ambitious revenue target, Western Railway plans to adopt a multi-pronged strategy that goes beyond conventional advertising models. The railway zone will focus on identifying underutilised spaces within station premises for branded kiosks, experience zones, and retail outlets, enabling better asset monetisation. Additionally, WR plans to expand Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) advertising at high-footfall stations to attract advertisers and generate additional revenue streams. Officials also emphasised the transformation of railway stations into lifestyle and commercial hubs, offering passengers modern services and improved facilities. Aim to provide modern services to passengers Speaking during the meeting, Tarun Jain said the goal is not just to increase revenue but also to improve passenger experience through value-added services. "We want to give value services to our users. The success of our Digital Lounges and Mini Malls proves that passengers want modern, tech-driven and quality services," he said. He added that by doubling non-fare revenue earnings, Western Railway aims to transform how commercial assets across the zone are utilised and unlock new revenue potential within the railway ecosystem.
