    What lies beyond India’s E20 push (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A litre of E20 petrol consists of 80% motor gasoline and 20% anhydrous ethanol. According to a press release by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, India first introduced it on February 6, 2023, when public sector oil marketing companies (OMCs) began selling it at select outlets across the country. E20 has been scaled up this year because of rising crude prices resulting from unilateral American aggression against Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz in response. The government ha

    Does ‘inflation targeting’ work in India? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    India has just completed a decade of inflation targeting (IT) as a formal policy framework of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Under this framework, the RBI is supposed to contain inflation at 4% within a band of (+/-) 2 percentage points. In this piece, we explain the theory behind inflation targeting and test it against the Indian experience.

While it was the issue of repeated paper leaks which pushed the people over the brink, the disillusionment runs far deeper among young Indians. And there is a material basis for this disillusionment.

    Why inflation is rising in India (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Inflation, except during the COVID-19 pandemic, has remained relatively low in India for over a decade. But it is back with a bang. Wholesale Price Index (WPI) inflation is hovering close to 10% in June (Chart 1a).
