The government must find out what constrains Indian companies from exploring the domestic market for investment with the same zeal as they are showing with regard to outward FDI.
There are distinctions between gross and net flows, inflows and outflows, and new money and reinvestment of earnings. Each signifies a different aspect of the FDI story.
Government data shows MNCs have favourite states when it comes to where to invest. Auto companies especially look for specific advantages that some states have & concentrate on those.
As percentage of GDP, gross & net FDI are lowest since mid-2000s. ‘Rigidities’ in doing business here, and India’s decision to terminate bilateral treaties are to blame, analysts say.
Disenfranchisement by institutional fiat is profoundly undemocratic. The effect of the ECI's new documentary process in Bihar will tilt the scales in favour of the BJP.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
