Indian Economy : News,Discussions & Updates

Nicely explained , it's going on even before 90s. British leaving India is a myth. There lala's lender's never went away. most Indians are idiots who get happy after getting 25,000Rs to 50,000RS monthly salary and think they have won the race, while in reality it's just an Illusion. Real winner are 0.0001% corporates and families( primary shareholder of companies to be precise ) and they have become to powerful even for government and now even run them, either directly or indirectly, Enriching themselves further. Military has been compromised as top brass has skin in the game. Democracy is a myth , it's all oligarchy, it's always have been.

The National Council for Applied Economic Research (NCAER) has projected that the Indian economy would contract 12.6% this fiscal year, a massive downgrade from the 1.2% growth it had estimated in June.

Growth would remain negative throughout the fiscal year, the think tank said in its Quarterly Review of the Economy report for the July-September quarter, released on Friday.

Agriculture bill is the last nail in this govt coffin. trying to destroy Mandis & MSP to profit there corporate cronies. making sure farmers specially small land holders remain vulnerable to market forces & have to sell there land due to distresse down the line.
Whole apparatus is trying to fool the farmers that MSP will not go which is a lie. Ultimate goal is to get rid of MSP. How? First modi cronies will buy product at higher price than MSP, cutting Mandis all together. When Mandis where MSP is guaranteed are destroyed and market is dominated by big corporate, lower the prices since they are not subjected to MSP but market forces. distressed farmers would have no option other than to sell land. Same trick was done in US and France and is happening in india as we speak.

Lage raho, umeed lol . He has already dig the hole for himself and he will be sleeping in it soon.

Both MSP and mandis stay in the new bill and the only change is farmers having option to sell other than the mandis ..........not sure why anyone other than a middleman should worry about the new bill .
 
I think i wrote that in a hurry, i apologize. i was not targeting you though. but people in this forum and in general who continue to defend this Charlton and corrupt dispensation.
he has done enough damage already , which will take generations to repair. time for him to go for good.
As if the ship wasn't sinking already. Who will be a better option instead of the gujju 1 & 2. Please tell us...

If the Walmart deal goes through, it will top its investment in Flipkart, for which the U.S.-based company paid $16 billion for a 66% stake.

BENGALURU: Walmart Inc is in talks with Tata Group for a potential investment of up to $25 billion in the Indian salt-to-software conglomerate's new "super app", the Mint newspaper reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter. According to ongoing discussions between the two companies, the super app could be launched as a joint venture between Tata and Walmart, leveraging on the synergies between Tata's e-commerce business and Flipkart, Walmart's e-commerce unit, according to the report.

The news comes as Reliance Industries Ltd, controlled by Asia's richest man Mukesh Ambani, raised over $20 billion from investors including Facebook, Alphabet's Google, KKR & Co and Silver Lake Partners by selling stakes in its digital business Jio Platforms.

Separately, Bloomberg News reported Tata Group is in discussions with potential investors about stakes in its new digital platform. The Walmart investment could touch $20 billion to $25 billion eventually for a large stake in the proposed super app that will be hosted under a Tata Sons unit, according to the Mint report.

The super app, which is scheduled to be launched in India in December or January, will bring together Tata's consumer business under one channel offering a wide range of products in the retail space, Mint said. Tata's consumer businesses include watch and jewellery brand Titan and fashion retail chain Trent. Shares of Tata Consultancy Services, Tata Motors and Tata Steel gained more than 1% each, with TCS the top boost to the Nifty 50 index.

If the Walmart deal goes through, it will top its investment in Flipkart, for which the U.S.-based company paid $16 billion for a 66% stake. Mint said Walmart had hired Goldman Sachs as the banker for the proposed deal. Tata Group, Walmart and Goldman Sachs did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.

 
The 4,389 luxury apartments in Central Mumbai that need to be sold

No other micro-market in India has as much supply of luxury real estate as the belt of Central Mumbai. 12 projects alone have supply and upcoming supply of 8,796 units. Only 4,407 units have been booked according to data by RERA. The unsold 4,389 units have an inventory of 7.18 million square feet. Prices in that market have been on a downward slide but at an average price of INR 40,000/sqft, that means an inventory of almost INR 30,000 crore needs to be sold. It won’t be easy. Excess supply and congestion have created a mismatch that will not be plugged in a hurry. Moreover there are additional new projects scheduled for commencement in that belt. Prominent among them is an upcoming slum rehabilitation project by Godrej Properties.
