@dmuthuk It happens in India too...don't be too elated Muthu... Almost everyday since decades, load shedding for hours is a normal thing in many parts of India, particularly, as I know, Bihar and Jharkhand..India and Pakistan both are 3rd rate countries in public services. @KirmaniAsif

@arvindgunasekar Why would that bill mention that? That's the work of delimitation commission. And Prime Minister himself assured that it will be proportional increase.

Please enlighten us where is this “assured 50% formula” is even mentioned in the Bills shared with the MPs. P.S: Many from Southern States say even this “assured 50% formula” is discriminatory to the States that complied with the population control policy of the Centre.
Rahul Shivshankar@RShivshankar

GOVERNMENT ASSURES 50% FORMULA TO ASSUAGE SOUTH STATES TO BUILD CONSENSUS. GOVT SOURCES: Tamil Nadu currently has 39 seats. If delimitation was done solely on the basis of the 2011 Census, it would have had 49 seats. But as per the GOI’s formula of increasing the shares of all states proportionately and by 50%, it will now have 59 seats. 2. Kerala currently has 20 seats. If delimitation was done solely on the basis of the 2011 Census, it would have had 23 seats. But as per the GOI’s formula of increasing the shares of all states proportionately and by 50%, it will now have 30 seats. 3. Andhra Pradesh currently has 25 seats. If delimitation was done solely on the basis of the 2011 Census, it would have had 33 seats. But as per the GOI’s formula of increasing the shares of all states proportionately and by 50%, it will now have 37 seats. 4. Odisha currently has 21 seats. If delimitation was done solely on the basis of the 2011 Census, it would have had 28 seats. But as per the GOI’s formula of increasing the shares of all states proportionately and by 50%, it will now have 31 seats. 5. Telangana currently has 17 seats. If delimitation was done solely on the basis of the 2011 Census, it would have had 24 seats. But as per the GOI’s formula of increasing the shares of all states proportionately and by 50%, it will now have 25 seats. 6. Karnataka currently has 28 seats. If delimitation was done solely on the basis of the 2011 Census, it would have had 41 seats. But as per the GOI’s formula of increasing the shares of all states proportionately and by 50%, it will now have 42 seats.

Ministry of Finance
Ministry of Finance@FinMinIndia·
Recently, Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, in a speech, has referred to a letter issued by the Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance @FinMinIndia , with regard to the bonus provided by State Governments. In this context, it is stated that the Secretary, Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance, had issued a D.O. letter dated 09.01.2026 to the Chief Secretaries of States to align their bonus policy to promote pulses, oilseeds and millets, in line with the national priorities for nutritional security, Aatmanirbharta (self-reliance) and sustainable agriculture. The letter was an advisory to states and was not directive. The communication to States reflects a constructive & positive approach aimed at strengthening India’s long-term food and crop security: 1. The Government of India announces the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for various crops to support farmers. However, in many states, especially in northern India, crop production remains heavily skewed toward wheat and paddy. When State Governments announce an additional bonus over and above MSP for these crops, it further encourages their cultivation, leading to reduced acreage under pulses, oilseeds, and millets, greater environmental stress due to water- and fertilizer-intensive farming, and higher import dependence for essential crops like pulses and edible oilseeds. 2. Thus, the Government of India has taken a responsible and forward-looking position by encouraging greater crop diversification in the national interest. The larger objective is to discourage monoculture of wheat in certain parts of Northern India and Paddy in several states across India. By encouraging States to work towards sustainable agricultural practices that protect both farmers’ interests and national food security needs. Expanding domestic production in pulses, edible oils, and oilseeds is essential not only for strategic and economic reasons, but also for farmer welfare. Domestic production of Pulses, oilseeds, and edible oil will reduce reliance on imports that are often exposed to international uncertainty, supply-chain disruptions, and price volatility, while strengthening nutritional security and promoting a more balanced and resilient crop pattern in the country. 3. States and farmers across India have a long and rich tradition of cultivating pulses and oilseeds, and this letter aims to capitalize on this strength. In a period when self-reliance in key food crops has become increasingly important, it is imperative that the States and the Centre work towards making India self-reliant in pulses and oilseeds. 4. The Government of India has already taken several concrete steps to increase domestic production of pulses, oilseeds and edible oils. These include the Mission for Aatmanirbharta in Pulses, National Mission on Edible Oils–Oilseeds and National Mission on Edible Oils–Oil Palm. The government has also consistently aligned MSP increases in favour of pulses and oilseeds to encourage farmers to shift away from over-concentration in a few crops. The Economic Survey 2025–26 also said imported edible oil dependence had fallen from 63.2% in 2015–16 to 56.25% in 2023–24, showing movement in the right direction. Between 2014–15 and 2024–25, the area under oilseeds increased by over 18 per cent, production by nearly 55 per cent, and productivity by about 31 per cent. 5. The Government of India has taken various steps for the welfare of the farmers. Under PM-KISAN, monetary support of Rs 6,000/- is provided to over 9 crore farmers. Over 1.75 crore Soil Health Cards and 8,270+ testing labs ensure science-backed farming. PM Fasal Bima Yojana shields 4 crore farmers from weather risks. The Prime Minister Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana is transforming 100 low-performing Agri-districts by enhancing productivity, promoting crop diversification, augmenting post-harvest storage, improving irrigation, and facilitating agricultural credit, directly benefitting 1.7 crore farmers, ensuring that the most underserved farmers are reached first. Mega Food Parks have jumped from just 2 in 2014 to 41 in 2025 — 24 operational and 17 under implementation — strengthening post-harvest and processing infrastructure. Thus, Government of India’s approach integrates research, improved seed dissemination, MSP-backed procurement support, processing infrastructure, and value-chain development to ensure farmer profitability. By promoting crop diversification, the profitability of farmers will further increase. The letter was written with the intent for States to align their agricultural policies with broader national priorities and complement them. Alignment with such goals is not a burden on states; it is a shared responsibility that serves farmers, consumers and the country as a whole. Any attempt to portray it as an imposition or to deliberately misread its purpose is a distortion of the record.

@lakshmiiig FPI flows are driven by global factors like US yields, liquidity and risk appetite. Even now, capital is rotating, including into Indian debt. With stable macros, controlled inflation and steady earnings, this is a phase of adjustment, not a structural loss of confidence.

FII selling due to profit booking doesn’t contradict the FM’s point, it proves it. Profits are booked after strong returns, not in weak markets. We’ve seen this cycle before and recoveries followed. With DIIs absorbing flows and global factors driving moves, this is rotation, not an exit or loss of confidence.

Asked someone from the industry whether foreign investors are still interested in allocating to India. The TLDR: Interest has pretty much died out. India is seen as geopolitically exposed, especially to an oil shock. There are no real AI plays. Valuations are rich. And the rupee situation doesn't help. On top of that, investors who were sitting on gains have taken money off the table and are now looking at markets like Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Europe etc instead. He also pointed out that our LTCG/STCG structure and the increase in STT have made India less attractive compared to other markets that are seeing inflows. If we need to attract FPIs back, and we do, fixing this feels like pretty low-hanging fruit.

This is what happens when you spent so much time listening to your own voice that you actually believe your portfolio management translates to geopolitical mastery. And you start thinking govt is failing because they aren't following your roadmap While the experts who advise govt such as the CEA are just dumbfucks and you are one whom they should listen to. This is just tge height of clown-tier arrogance. Reality is you’re just a guy with an opinion and zero perspective on how the real world actually functions.

I wonder why he hasn’t waxed eloquent on what’s up with democracy in his own country? Is he scared he will be deported or his green card/citizenship withdrawn? Saara gyan hum natives ke liye bachaya hua hai? Why do these people who leave India seek relevance here? They have zero skin in the game and should keep their opinion to themselves or save it for the Americans.

The smallest borrowers are the most reliable. The Shishu category boasts an incredibly low NPA rate of just 1.83% against disbursed amounts. A testament to the integrity of India's micro-entrepreneurs. #11YearsOfMUDRA

Well true, you can't expect every decision that the govt takes to be perfect, that is the primary reason for red tapism. Govt of the day took a decision looking at past 10 years return and to curtail Foreign outgo, nobody can predict wars, but again the point being this govt took the decision and it is owing it up by making provisions in Budget without increasing borrowinh ceiling or fiscal deficit target everything provisioned for that is the fundamental difference between oil bonds and SGB, There was no provision for that in Budget and that was not one of bonds there were multiple others FCI borrowings, borrowings through multiple PSU to do what? Loan Maafi? To make GDP numbers look good? Come to this day - not a single penny this govt does that is of the book everything provisioned for in budget every numbers are transparent in the budget doc, this givt has restored sanctity of budget document - good or bad every decision this govt owns that is what leadership is all about, you take decisions you face consequences you dont put burden on future generations. That was the whole point.

@Wise__Cracker @Subhashgarg1960 The government that borrows at 7% had to borrow at nearly 18%+ through SGB. The only positive thing is that the common citizens of India have benefited from SGB.

Sitaraman made too much noise about oil bonds burden left behind by UPA. While oil bonds were issued in a fiscally improper way, it did not amount to additional burden for Modi govt. Modi govt used worse methods while using NSSF and issuing FSBs. My oped. thequint.com/opinion/nirmal…

@Prakhar_716 @Subhashgarg1960 What's the debacle? Is SGB off Budget borrowing just to showcase better fd numbers? SGB has been provisioned for in the budget.

Today, India takes a defining step in its civil nuclear journey, advancing the second stage of its nuclear programme. The indigenously designed and built Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam has attained criticality. This advanced reactor, capable of producing more fuel than it consumes, reflects the depth of our scientific capability and the strength of our engineering enterprise. It is a decisive step towards harnessing our vast thorium reserves in the third stage of the programme. A proud moment for India. Congratulations to our scientists and engineers.

PM @narendramodi’s “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas” is becoming more evident. - In just six years, from 2019 to 2025, India’s five richest families increased their wealth by 400%. - The bottom 50% of Indians hold only 6.4% of the country’s wealth, while the richest 1% control over 40%. - 1,688 individuals in India each have net worth above ₹1,000 crore, and together they hold more than ₹166 lakh crore, which is nearly half of India’s GDP. - Mukesh Ambani’s wealth rose by 153% in this period - Gautam Adani’s by 625%. - Union government has written off ₹19.6 lakh crore in loans over the last 11 years. x.com/paranjoygt/sta…
