"But where is the growth?"

Some people ask this no matter what the numbers say. They will agree one quarter was good, or that a sector or two did well, and then ask it again.

So here is a decade.

- Banks had more than 11% of their loans going bad. Now it is under 2%.

- India had 2.8 GW of solar power. It now has more than 164.

- 17% of village homes had a tap. Now more than 80% do.

- There were 74 airports. There are now 165.

- In 2014-15, about a quarter of the phones sold in India were made in India. Now it is 99.2%.

The World Bank says extreme poverty fell from 27.1% to 5.3% between 2011-12 and 2022-23. That is 269 million people.

The economy grew 7.8% in the June quarter. The RBI had expected 7.

Nobody says the work is finished. But if none of this counts as growth, no answer ever will.

@profvidhu argues that most economies are dependent on one or two sectors, while India has multiple going together.

Read the piece below to gauge what that actually looks like on the ground.

In a significant step towards achieving the vision of Aatmanirbharta in defence, Raksha Mantri Shri @rajnathsingh has approved the transfer of DRDO-developed technologies of all conventional missile systems to Indian industries for production within the country. This Transfer of Technology (ToT) marks an important milestone in promoting greater participation of the Indian industries in the defence ecosystem by enabling them to undertake indigenous production, as per applicable qualifications, certifications and regulatory requirements.

It was cool explaining PM Modi about the Astrobase’s engine. He said - Tum itna bada bada soch rahe ho, log Vishwas karte hai kya?

I said - Shuru mai nahi karte lekin jab progress hoti h tab krte hai.

Then he said - Investaro ke saath kaisa h? I said we have good investments at Astrobase. No worries. And more so after Skyroot launch. On which he laughed.

Good human level interaction.
Thanks @INSPACeIND for the opportunity.

Honoured to meet Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji along with my co-founder, Bharath.

From two engineers who started out with a bold idea which had low chance of success—to standing together with the Prime Minister after Vikram-1 became India’s first private orbital launch vehicle to reach orbit, it was a deeply humbling moment.

Your vision and bold reforms opened India’s space sector to private enterprise and empowered a new generation of innovators. We are proud that @SkyrootA could contribute to this national journey.

Committed to building from India, for the world. 🇮🇳🚀

[Skyroot Aerospace @SkyrootA]

An honour to meet Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi.

Our founders, Pawan Chandana and Naga Bharath Daka, had the privilege of sharing Skyroot’s journey, Vikram-1’s successful mission, and our vision for the future of space.

The Hon’ble Prime Minister discussed our technology, long-term vision, and the opportunities ahead for India’s private space ecosystem. His encouragement for young entrepreneurs and confidence in India’s growing innovation ecosystem continue to inspire us.

We are grateful for the visionary reforms that opened India’s space sector, the support of @INSPACeIND in enabling private spaceflight, and the trust and collaboration of @isro, whose facilities and expertise have helped companies like Skyroot take bold ideas from the drawing board to orbit.

The journey has only just begun.
Onwards, from India to the world. 🇮🇳🚀

BREAKING: 🇮🇳 RBI reiterates call for a crypto ban, according to documents reviewed by Reuters.

But here's what's important to remember:

The RBI has opposed crypto for years. This is not a new position. It has repeatedly cited financial stability, monetary sovereignty, and consumer protection risks.

In 2018, the RBI effectively barred banks from serving crypto businesses. In 2020, the Supreme Court struck down that banking ban, allowing the industry to operate again.

The government also drafted a bill that reportedly proposed banning private cryptocurrencies, with penalties including up to 10 years in prison. That bill was never introduced in Parliament and never became law.

Instead, India imposed a flat 30% tax on crypto gains and a 1% TDS while delaying a comprehensive crypto law. The RBI can recommend a ban, but the final decision rests with the Government of India and Parliament.
