Indian Economy

Gormint and its supporters itself forgets what one of the farm laws was for when every year you have onion and tomato being sold for 100 rs+ /kilo and there is talk of controlling 'food inflation'. Bhugto abhi Khalion ki appeasement karne ke bad.

Hopefully Modi learnt the lesson, if you appease a community they always become more aggressive, sicks have lost their pumped up fake goodwill that was one of the positive came out of it.

States can make their own similar agricultural laws no one stopping them.

In 2014 it was a speculative promise from deep state that they would shift all the manufacturing from China to India. Gobhiji took the words seriously and started the make in India initiative instead of investing much in r&d and creating an ecosystem.
10 years later no meaningful manufacturing has been taken out from China and the one that did did not meet the quality that people were expecting.
Russia helped indian economy from 2022 much more than burgericans ever did

When your entire fake in India scheme is to bring more foreign OEMs to assemble imported stuff here, you can never scale up. We literally incentivise Foxconn to assemble imported components here for creating a few thousand jobs. Yes, I know that supply chains are created in later phases, localisation increases, but the localisation has a limit. Even china doesn't make majority of iPhones, so whats their obsession with throwing it's production numbers? Which even in absolute terms is just double digit billion USD?

India should've been incentivising our own industry and OEMs, through R&D funds and industrial subsidies while inviting foreign OEMs at the same time.

India literally has one of the most incentivised industry, nothing comes out of it.

India companies just wait for JVs with outside manufacturers which brings in money, machinery and regular pipelines of orders,
Have you ever seen any Indian companies even investing even world average on R&D? Thats how our industry is built.

Electronics is fine, more investment and integration will happen at a later level. We're still in baby steps in that industry. Solar is also doing ok.

Where he failed badly is labour intensive manufacturing. Textiles, furniture, Shoes, apparel, Toys and general white goods stuff. Anything that has the potential to employ the masses just hasn't taken off.

this conversation is going in circles for a few years now, let's move the needle forward a bit, now that we have recent examples that can be cited.

take ola, mahindra and ather EVs, those came out of domestic r&d, it's not like public are buying them because there is a domestic r&d component in those products. Indian public's priority is value for money, Indian public is not saying "take my money, and please keep innovating".

since this is a defence forum, defence is a sector where there is active and visible r&d spending. and we are seeing how orders are panning out in each product category.

in a market where customer's top priority is value for money, some one has to pay for the high risk proposition and failures.

if banks fund such risks, news headlines will say "growing NPAs".
if RBI funds such risks, news headlines will say "growing interest rates".
if gormint fund such risks, news headlines will say "growing interest payments".
if companies fund such risks, news headlines will say "XYZ company has not been profitable for n years".

any direction taken, there will be risks and tradeoffs.

point being, r&d investment is not a binary proposition of "every one should do it or no one is doing it".

i think we need to dig a bit deeper into commercial aspect of r&d spending, other than news paper opeds that deal with this subject at macro level, not sure how much info is available for Indian scenarios.

GDP growth rate will go upwards not all data comes at once couple of decimal points up, also India needs to start rebase its GDP last time I think it was in 2015, lots of regions and sectors are a miss.

Again socialism on the scale Modi has started will push inflation up, the solution is to keep up the Govt spending on productive sectors not reduce it.

More socialism should be countered by More Govt spending on Infrastructure.
