Why India's policy makers should not relax or become complacent about the need for urgent energy and fiscal policy reforms now that the US-Iran peace deal is likely to be formalised soon. @bsindia

@nivmook @bsindia @RChitravanshi @EY_India Indeed! A discussion that provided s blueprint for what more needed to be done to help IBC achieve its stated goals.

[Ashok Bhattacharya @AshokAkaybee]

What happened fiscally in FY26 has lessons for the Govt. The real message is not in how spending was contained, but in how income tax revenue didn’t grow for the first time in 5 years, underlining the need for a relook at income tax rebates. @bsindia

In addition, there is need for increased focus on seven domestic reforms : factor markets (in addition to agriculture reforms), judicial reforms, deregulation plus civil services reforms, education & skilling, healthcare, environment and open debate on policy fixes. @FollowCII

[Confederation of Indian Industry @FollowCII]

Trade, investment, and technology; this triad needs to be explored much more seriously, rather than assuming investment will only happen domestically. India Inc is investing more abroad, and domestic investment growth could be better.

A rich discussion that brought out the need for building the ethanol cost into petrol pricing, which according to the two experts should ideally result in at least a 5 per cent fall in retail prices. Oil companies may be worried if this principle is followed! @bsindia

[Nivedita Mookerji @nivmook]

It was wonderful moderating the session on ‘E25: A hurdle for the automakers’ in a webinar—Business Standard Dialogue. The need for clarity and long-term planning were among the top points made @bsindia @deepakpatel_91 @sohinidastweets @shinejac @AshokAkaybee @Bhayankur @nivmook

[Ashok Bhattacharya @AshokAkaybee]

@dravirmani @ShekharGupta Understood. Thanks.

[Ashok Bhattacharya @AshokAkaybee]

@surindersud @the_core_in @govindethiraj 🙏🙏🙏 Thanks Sud-Saab!

[Ashok Bhattacharya @AshokAkaybee]

@dravirmani @ShekharGupta The mid-year economic reviews by EAC-PM before 2014 and the annual as well as periodic assessments of the economy by the Planning Commission did coexist with many other private forecasts without any confusion.

[Ashok Bhattacharya @AshokAkaybee]

The need for a wide range of assessments of the Indian economy and policy options from bodies like the revamped NITI Aayog and EAC-PM is critical. These should supplement the efforts of RBI and the finance ministry @bsindia⁩
