The National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI) Mumbai Chapter has launched a unique initiative aimed at boosting voter turnout in the upcoming general elections. In an effort to engage the city's urban voters, NRAI has introduced the "Democracy Discount," a 20% discount on dine-in bills at over 50 participating restaurants across Mumbai. This offer will be available on November 20th and 21st, 2024, for voters who can show proof of voting.
The initiative comes at a pivotal time, as Chief Election Commissioner Shri Rajiv Kumar has expressed concerns over low voter participation in urban areas and emphasized the importance of involving young voters in the election process. By offering an incentive, the NRAI hopes to motivate residents of Mumbai, particularly younger voters, to cast their ballots and make their voices heard.
Rachel Goenka, Head of the NRAI Mumbai Chapter, highlighted the importance of the initiative, saying, “This initiative by the NRAI aims to inspire our young urban voters to actively engage in the voting process, celebrating our country’s vibrant and robust democratic framework, one of the largest in the world. I extend heartfelt thanks to all the participating brands and restaurants for enthusiastically joining this cause and encouraging young voters to make the most of this unique offer.”
The 20% discount is available to dine-in customers who present a voter ID showing Mumbai residency along with an inked finger as proof of voting. Over 50 well-known restaurants in Mumbai are participating in this drive, including popular spots such as Silver Beach Cafe, Nom Nom Khar, The Sassy Spoon, Bonobo, and The Bombay Canteen. This offer provides voters with an additional incentive to visit their favorite restaurants while contributing to the democratic process.

Nimbus Projects Limited, a publicly listed real estate developer, has announced its successful listing on the National Stock Exchange of India Limited, marking a significant step in its capital market journey. The company has already been listed on the BSE since 2000, highlighting its long-standing presence in India’s financial markets.
The listing on the NSE is expected to improve stock liquidity, enable better price discovery, and provide access to a wider base of institutional and retail investors. This move further strengthens the company’s position in India’s growing listed real estate space. On its listing day, the company’s stock opened at INR 199 on the NSE.
Commenting on the development, Bipin Agarwal, Chairman and Managing Director, Nimbus Projects Limited, said: “The NSE listing represents a strategic step in strengthening our capital market footprint and engaging with a wider investor ecosystem. As we continue to scale our development pipeline, our focus remains on disciplined growth, prudent capital allocation, and delivering sustainable long-term value to all stakeholders.”
Nimbus Projects has been actively expanding its presence across the NCR, focusing on residential and mixed-use developments. The company has developed around 15 million square feet across 13 projects and has served more than 10,000 customers. It currently has close to 3 million square feet under development, continuing its focus on similar asset classes.
With over three decades of experience, the company has built a strong footprint across key micro-markets in Noida and Greater Noida, driven by a consistent and delivery-focused approach.
From a financial perspective, Nimbus Projects has a market capitalisation in the range of ₹350–365 crore, with shares trading close to book value. This reflects a stable valuation aligned with its fundamentals. The company also maintains a balanced capital structure, with its assets and borrowings aligned with its ongoing and planned developments.
Over the years, the company has shown steady balance sheet growth, supported by disciplined execution and a measured approach to expansion.
The NSE listing also highlights a broader trend in India’s real estate sector, where listed developers are gaining importance due to increased transparency, stronger governance, and improved access to institutional funding.
Going ahead, Nimbus Projects plans to expand its development portfolio across high-growth corridors in NCR while continuing to focus on financial discipline and execution excellence.
