CAG on defence offsets: A case of the bureaucracy failing to bite the bullet?

Bihar CM Nitish Kumar in full election mode

New Delhi: Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar, who is also Janata Dal (U)’s national president, has fully moved into election mode, and is attending to party workers daily in the party office in Patna for the last one week.Party insiders said he had been discussing the campaign in each assembly constituency with other leaders and making localised plans.

Room for rate cuts, inflation to be lower in 2021: BoA

India still has room for further interest rate cuts as inflation is likely to be lower in the first two quarters of the next calendar year, said Jayesh Mehta, country treasurer at Bank of America. Higher inflation is a temporary phenomenon, reflecting the pandemic-induced supply shock, Mehta tells Saikat Das and MC Govardhan Rangan. Edited excerpts:Where are the interest rates headed?We believe there is still some room for rate cuts despite the fact that there might be some temporary disruptions due to higher food and fuel inflation. We see at least 50 basis points drop in benchmark yields and 25 basis points fall in the repo rate. The main reason being, inflation is going to be lower in the first and second quarters of 2021.What should be the message from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to the market after the benchmark bond devolved four times?The market expects RBI to come out with some sort of rationale for its policy decisions to comfort market participants who are otherwise makin...

Why India needs to rethink building spree

A Japanese friend of mine once asked, ‘As an architect, aren’t you lucky to be living in a country with so much construction happening all the time?’ It barely needed reflecting that in fact it was he who was fortunate to be living in a country that was fully developed with finished buildings and highways, rather than one that was forever developing with all the aggravations of dust, construction debris and endless expenditure.Just the way Trump uses the Mexican border wall to deflect from America’s problems, India finds cover in building religious and political symbols.After the Statue of Unity and the Kasi Vishwanath development, construction of the Char Dham highways and the Shivaji statue is in progress.Following the recent inauguration of the Ram Mandir project, the next big deflection is the new Parliament, hastily pushed through environmental and land-use clearances, and already awarded to a building firm with a 21-month construction deadline. The combined budget for all these p...

Bihar election could yet spring a surprise

The bugle has been sounded for India’s first assembly election in the Covid-19 era. Despite deciding who governs almost 125 million people in Bihar for the next five years, the biggest multi-faith festival will remain like other celebrations since March — subdued, albeit in campaign method. While people are making prophecies about low turnout, voter enthusiasm may match past polls if not set new records. After all, if the rising Covid-19 graph fails to keep people indoors, there is no reason for them to stay away due to fear. Yet, massive public meetings, nukkad sabhas and other elements of a cacophonous campaign shall be missing. Key will be how different parties interact with voters and get the message across. Much has also been stated about migrant voters — how they will carry grievances into booths and impact polls. But, there is little clarity on whether those who returned are still at their homes. Furthermore, little authentic data is available on where they are registered as vot...

Dips & sauces make it a Rs 100 cr company

A dip can be good for business. Ask Anju Chaudhri Srivastava. She claims her Wingreens Farms has already made Rs 100 crore in revenue this year, driven largely by their fresh dips and sauces.That is some achievement for a person who was never too fond of the condiment herself. “I didn’t even think you needed dips with your food.” But that did not stop her from encouraging women in and around the villagers of Tauru, Haryana, to make dips and sauces.All Srivastava wanted to do was empower women and give a means of livelihood to farmers in the largely arid region of Nuh district. Today, Wingreens Farms — started in 2008 as Women’s Initiative Network — gets farmers to produce certain products which are used to make dips and sauces at its manufacturing facility on the outskirts of Gurgaon. The company employs 400-odd women in the facility. Most of them, “who wouldn’t leave their homes without a ghunghat until 2008”, today make Mexican salsa, Greek tzatziki and hummus dips. “We worked with w...

Steep rally unlikely? Time to exit pharma?

To think that pharma can continue to go the same way, especially after the kind of steep rally it has seen, is being overly bullish, says the independent market expert.What is the sense that you are getting about where the markets are headed from here?The global market movement matters much more than what is happening on the domestic front. The domestic market could not have, by itself, led to the kind of rally that we witnessed over the last several weeks. As we get closer to the US elections, two things become important: one is whether or not you will be able to write up another bill and another kind of bailout for the US markets and which can possibly drive the markets up. The other one is the realisation that you may have a new government and a change in guard, and in which case the potential of fairly strong taxation, especially at the personal and corporate level, can change the economics fairly rapidly of the valuations of a lot of companies. This is because the tax rates have b...

Gold and silver have worst weeks since March

By Eddie SpenceGold and silver posted their biggest weekly losses since March, when the global onset of the coronavirus pandemic panicked markets.The dollar gained as concern over the outlook for global economic growth bolstered the appeal of the currency as a haven, sapping demand for gold. Fears are mounting that rising coronavirus cases, particularly in Europe, may lead to more national lockdowns, denting the outlook for recovery. Gold fell 4.6% this week, while silver slumped 15%.“Both have succumbed to belated long liquidation and pressure generated by the strength in the general dollar index, which is on track for its biggest weekly gain in almost six months,” Edward Meir, an analyst at ED&F Man Capital Markets in New York, said in a note. 78343049The rally in gold, often used as an inflation hedge, has also flagged as the dimming view of the recovery undercuts the outlook for a rise in consumer prices.
