India central bank sold $20.1 billion in March to defend rupee.
The Reserve Bank of India sold a net $20.1 billion in the spot foreign exchange market in the month of March to support the rupee against the U.S. dollar, its monthly bulletin showed on Tuesday.

The central bank said its net outstanding forward dollar purchases rose to $65.79 billion at the end of March compared to $49.11 billion as of end February. In February, the RBI had sold a net $771 million in the spot market.

The rupee moved in a band of 75.76 to 76.97 in the month of March.

In March, the rupee hit its first record low for the year, breaking below 76.9050 per dollar which was last touched on April 22, 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The unit has now been hitting multiple record lows over the last two weeks on the back of broad strength in the dollar and severe risk aversion, touching a life low of 77.7975 earlier in the day.

"Given that the RBI has ample FX reserves, we expect the rupee to remain more stable and weaken less than most other EM (emerging market) currencies against the greenback over the next couple of years," Adam Hoyes, assistant economist at Capital Economics, said in a note.

India's foreign exchange reserves (INFXR=ECI) fell to $595.95 billion as of May 6, compared with $597.73 billion a week earlier, latest RBI data last week showed.

Reserves had touched a record high of $642.45 billion in early September 2021.

The central bank in its bulletin also said inflation pressures were increasingly becoming generalised across commodity groups. It said the monetary policy committee's swift response in raising rates showed its resolute commitment to price stability. The MPC raised the key lending rate by 40 basis points at an unscheduled meeting on May 4 and most economists expect more hikes at its next meetings.

"Heightened global risks stemming from weakening growth, elevated inflation, supply disruptions on account of geopolitical spillovers and financial market volatility stemming from synchronised monetary tightening pose near-term challenges," the central bank wrote.

It said the Indian economy's recovery remains resilient, although risks stemming from global developments have thwarted momentum and the increase in international commodity prices is widening the country's trade and current account deficits.

"In order to achieve a higher growth path on a sustainable basis, private investment needs to be encouraged through higher capital expenditure by the government which crowds in private investment," RBI said.
Why our foreign exchange reserves have reduced by more then $50 billion in the last couple of months is now clear!!!

'India's neighbours have cheaper fuel - petrol in Bangladesh costs USD 1.05 a litre, 77 cents a litre in Pakistan and 67 cents a litre in Sri Lanka."
Right. SL has no petrol to sell and Pakistan is begging everyone for money.

Btw, new PM in Sri Lanka has just removed all subsidy today.

Value to a country will be in terms of
- cost to consumer
- distribution costs
- retailer's profits
- refinery profits
- crude prices
- taxes
- subsidy

Our neighborhood doesn't have enough or any refining capacity. Lower prices are entirely borne by govt subsidy or lower taxes. Indian prices aren't anything to do with inefficiencies. They're just based on sound economics

FDI is peanuts compared with size of economy, or size of forex reserves. Point is that an economy of the heft of India's cannot be dependent on any single line item - whether it is heavy industry, or tourism, or agriculture, or IT, or IPL or FDI, yet it needs a diversity of line items to thrive.

India’s exports to Latin America reached a record high of 18.89 billion dollars in 2021-22 (April-March), according to the Commerce Ministry of India. The exports have increased by an impressive 48% from 12.74 billion dollars in 2020-21.

Brazil continued as the # 1 destination of India’s exports to the region, with 6.49 billion dollars, an increase of 53% from 2020-21.

Greatest opportunity for India to grow into major manufacturing hub since China is in deep trouble and major supply chain issues are going on. This inflation is giving an opportunity we never had. We have the youngest workforce.

WEF 2022: India on top for trust in domestic companies, says study
On the overall trust index, taking into account trust in NGOs, business, government and media, India is now placed at the second place after China, as against third in January this year

Indian companies have emerged as the most trusted by the domestic population, followed by China, Canada, the US and the UK, according to a new study.

The Edelman Trust Barometer Special Report: The Geopolitical Business, which was released on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, also showed that geopolitics is now a litmus test for trust in business.


The corporate exit from Russia has set a precedent, and the expectations for action at times of crisis are ever increasing. In fact, fewer than 6 in 10 respondents now say geopolitics is a business priority.

India secured the critical supply of fertilizers from Russia under a barter agreement. India is 2nd largest importer aiming for 1 million tonnes of di-ammonium phosphate (DAP) and potash; and about 800,000 tonnes of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium (NPK) from Russia every year.

https://swarajyamag.com/economics/india ... 1-per-cent
Indian Economy Growth Estimates At 8.7 Per Cent In FY22, Q4 Growth At 4.1 Per Cent
Against a contraction of 6.6 per cent in the previous financial year, hindered by the pandemic, the economy is estimated to grow at 8.7 per cent in the financial year of 2022. Growth in the fourth quarter of FY22 was at 4.1 per cent against 5.4 per cent in Q3, 8.4 per cent in Q2, and 20.1 per cent in Q1. The fourth-quarter growth figures have been impacted by the omicron variant and the rising fuel prices driven by the crisis in Ukraine and the consequent inflation denting consumer spending.

Nominal GDP growth was 19.5 per cent in FY22, whereas the Gross Value Added (GVA) stood at 8.1 per cent against 4.8 per cent in FY21. For industries related to trade, hotels, and transport, against a contraction of around 20 per cent in the previous financial year, 11.1 per cent growth was witnessed, thus shaking off the pandemic blues.

In FY22, manufacturing grew by 9.9 per cent but registered a contraction of 0.2 per cent in Q4. The construction sector also showed a growth of over 11 per cent, recovering from the negative pandemic impact in FY21.

Why so high textile exports to Bangladesh? Are Indian manufactures sending shipment to Bangladesh to re-export duty-free to the US/Europe?

GDP growth at 22-year high of 8.7% despite sluggish Q4
From: Times of India
NEW DELHI: The Indian economy expanded at its fastest pace in nearly 22 years in 2021-22, but growth slowed to a four quarter-low in the three months to January-March due to the impact of the curbs imposed against the backdrop of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus.
Data released by the National Statistical Office showed the economy growing by 8.7% in 2021-22 while growth in the January-March quarter slowed to 4.1%. To put the numbers in context, the 8.7% expansion comes against the backdrop of a very low base as the economy contracted by 6.6% in the previous period due to the impact of one of the strictest lockdowns in the world to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Indian economy has withstood 8 years of shocks
In the past eight years, the economy has suffered major adverse shocks, both internal and external. There have also been positive shocks (one can debate whether these should be called windfall gains, actually). The positive shock was a steep fall in oil prices worldwide, by more than 50%, and they stayed low for nearly two years. The internal negative shocks were the big crash of a large non-bank finance company (NBFC) called Infrastructure Leasing and Financial Services Limited (ILFS) in September 2018. Two years prior to that was the sudden announcement of the banning of high denomination notes i.e., demonetisation of nearly 86% (by value) of the currency in circulation. And a third internal shock, which was not sudden and somewhat diffused, was the clumsy implementation of the Goods and Services Tax, a major tax reform which made the entire country shift to a completely different tax regime. One of the more recent external shocks has been the Covid pandemic, which has affected usfor more than two years. And now, the war in Ukraine. These are of great magnitude, for they have affected the entire global economy.

Beyond these six shocks, there were several smaller ones, like the severe floods and natural disasters, hurricane-induced evacuation, and so on. There was also another generalised shock, since the Donald Trump presidency in the US, of a receding of globalisation, and fall in the volume of world trade. This negative sentiment can hurt exporting nations like India, which depends on strong exports to aid domestic growth. India also took some “shock” decisions, like walking out of a free trade agreement called RCEP at the last moment in November 2019.

The resilience of the economy is a measure of how well the economy was able to cope with these negative shocks. The short answer is “quite well”. In earlier times, each of these shocks would have caused the economy to flounder. But now, there is sufficient resilience, in the form of diversification of economic activity, safety buffers in terms of stock of food or forex, and well-funded welfare schemes that do not allow the economy to go off the rails. An example of the latter is the free food scheme that has been running for more than two years and has protected a large section of India’s public from food inflation and ensured food security. This has prevented an income and jobs crisis (caused by the pandemic) from becoming a food crisis. The contrast with neighbouring Sri Lanka and Pakistan is quite stark and displays the relative lack of resilience in their respective economies. Resilience is not built overnight but is the effect of cumulative economic policies. On this count ertainly, the Indian economy has come a long way. Though there is no cause for complacency, the dark clouds of war and inflation do have this silver lining.

Sorry for a long answer, but may I please clarify two very different points:

1. every country has to have a base year to enable growth calculations. The base year is periodically updated not for any numerical reason but to capture structural changes in the economy
2. the base year, other than ensuring that all new changes are captured, has per se no impact on actual GDP numbers, which is always expressed in nominal terms i.e. current values. The above is the perfect example- while in 2011-12 rupees our GDP is INR 140 lakh crore, "actual" GDP is USD 3.12 trn (INR 236.44 lakh crores) as what I had mentioned earlier

Historically as part agreements with EU, Bangladesh being classed as Least Developed Country benefited from the EU's Generalised Scheme of Preferences (GSP), namely the Everything But Arms (EBA) arrangement. EBA grants LDCs including Bangladesh– duty-free, quota-free access to the EU for exports of all products, except arms and ammunition.
Post Brexit this has continued in the UK. So there is an extra tariff on Indian goods when compared to Bangladeshi goods. India had a disadvantage of about 10% in textile export UK/EU.

India's Services Sector Activity In May Expands At Strongest Rate In Over 11 Years
The seasonally adjusted S&P Global India Services PMI Business Activity Index jumped to 58.9 in May, up from 57.9 in April, amid better underlying demand and strong inflows of new work.

For the tenth straight month, the services sector witnessed an expansion in output. In Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) parlance, a print above 50 means expansion while a score below 50 denotes contraction.
Meanwhile, the S&P Global India Composite PMI Output Index -- which measures combined services and manufacturing output -- rose from 57.6 in April to 58.3 in May, pointing to the fastest rate of expansion since last November.

The question is why? Why is a Canadian co. interested in IDBI and why is the govt keen to divest?
Wouldn't it make more sense to use IDBI as a catalyst to speed up atmanirbhar and help realise PLI schemes' goals?
