India Developing, but still a long way to go

[Bombaywalla]

Oye you two, go open your own thread to discuss me.
You are making me feel like the celebrity I am, any papparazzis around !

Idiots.

Good morning, retarded loose cannon. All I asked was why you thought posting some random Pakistani’s artwork in a thread about developing India, was valid? All we care about is this thread and its contents; nobody in their right mind wants to have a discussion with/about you and your antics here or anywhere else, either now, or anytime in the future. Get off that high horse you think you’re on.

Pitiful.

India is the largest provider of generic drugs globally with the Indian generics accounting for 20 per cent of global exports in terms of volume.The country also has a large pool of scientists and engineers who have the potential to steer the industry ahead to an even higher level. Presently over 80 per cent of the antiretroviral drugs used globally to combat AIDS (Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome) are supplied by Indian pharmaceutical firms.ndian companies received 55 Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) approvals and 16 tentative approvals from the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) in Q1 of 2017. The USFDA approvals are expected to cross 700 ANDA in 2017, thereby recording a year-on-year growth of 17 per cent. The country accounts for around 30 per cent (by volume) and about 10 per cent (value) in the US$ 70-80 billion US generics market.

2. Diamond Industry

India is the largest player in diamond cutting and polishing and also the largest consumer of gold. India exports 75 per cent of the world’s polished diamonds, as per statistics from the Gems and Jewellery Export promotion Council (GJEPC).UAE, US, Russia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Latin America and China are the biggest importers of Indian jewellery.

3. Medical tourism

India is experiencing 22-25 per cent growth in medical tourism and the industry is expected to double its size from present (April 2017) US$ 3 billion to US$ 6 billion by 2018.

Above list is incomplete, but that's nit-picking. For eg. 2 wheelers, 3-wheelers, tractors India is by far the largest producer and exporter. It was surprising to know that re: electric rickshaws and three-wheelers India turned out to have oer 2 million vehicles on the roads, among the world's largest e vehicle eco-systems. Same with small pumps and engines where India is in Top 3. USB drives, CD's and some other electronic components like motherboards and bread-boards. Surely, it tops in Hawaii Chappal or leather production. Jeans and many textile areas like hosiery.

A strong point re: above list is that India runs on a x10 PPP rate Vs. $ US. Therefore, multiplying all #'s in the above list by 10 gives a real picture of the true behemoth that India really is. For eg. Stock Market value in PPP will be US $ 3.35 Trillion, Not! More like 33.5 Trillion.

• The latest list of best Countries in the world has India at # 25, Pakistan @70 or 75 but China @ # 20, however the list is biased because it names small countries like Switzerland, Norway, Holland indeterminately while it could have just said EU. If so India would be surprisingly near the Top 10 best countries in the world!

Personally, I will be happy when India's average GDP gets at $ 20,000 from today's 2,000 when India will be awesome, ... see at PPP terms a single Indian household of say 7 ppl. woks out to 20000 x 7 ppl./12 mnths. = 11667; not bad !

$ 2000 @ 7.45 % double's in 7 yrs. approx.

Prof. Rosling predicts 2048 for when India will equal USA in GDP @ $ 40,000; check vid below:
That's only 30 yrs.

Pakistan Gave India So Much

Fakir Chand Kohli was born in Peshawar (Present day Pakistan), British India on 28 February 1924. He did his schooling in Peshawar and did his BA and BSc (Hons) at the Government College for Men in Lahore from Punjab University, Lahore, where he was university gold medalist.[6][7] Initially, he wanted to join the Indian navy, but he also applied for a scholarship to study abroad. After getting the scholarship he went to Queen's University, Canada and completed his BSc (Hons) in Electrical Engineering in 1948. He then worked for a year at the Canadian General Electric Company and subsequently did his MS in Electrical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1950. (c) Wikipedia

In my opinion, TCS is and Indian Co. so why this $ US evaluation and fake news.
To stretch a fine point they might as well celebrate TCS as the worlds first $ Trillion Co. re: TCS real worth in PPP $'s is simply x 10 what the media says, if not more. More because it has no solid and concrete assets like machines, factories, supply chains unless you map all to the Consulting industry.

• Sorry, Kohli's move to India cost Pakistan that much, if not more because a $ US goes even further in Pakistan Vs. India, maybe $ US 1.25 Trillion !

India tops list of fastest growing economies for coming decade: Harvard study

NEW YORK: India tops the list of the fastest growing economies in the world for the coming decade and is projected to grow at 7.9 per cent annually, ahead of China and the US, according to a Harvard University report. The Centre for International Development at Harvard University (CID) said in new growth projections yesterday that countries that have diversified their economies into more complex sectors, like India and Vietnam, are those that will grow the fastest in the coming decade. "India tops the list as the fastest growing country for the coming decade, at 7.9 per cent annually, in the economic complexity growth projections. India has made inroads in diversifying its export base to include more complex sectors, such as chemicals, vehicles, and certain electronics," the report said. It said that India's productive capabilities far exceed expectations for its current income level, which contributes to the projection of rapid growth for the coming decade. The researchers also find India ranks the best on the criteria termed the Complexity Opportunity Index (COI), which measures how easy it is to redeploy existing knowhow to enter new complex products. "India's existing capabilities have not only diversified its exports, but also allow for easy redeployment into related products that.

• The top ranking in COI means India has many "unrealised opportunities" to diversify into related, high-value sectors to continue to drive productivity growth and job creation. "

Up to now, that potential remains unrealized, however, as India's complexity has not changed over the past decade. The rapid growth that is predicted is effectively capitalizing on previous gains in complexity," the report added. It stressed that ensuring the long-run potential of India's economic growth will rely on realizing diversification into related products. The other major challenge will be to ensure the inclusive nature of this productive transformation, as the gains made in new chemical, vehicle and electronics exports are highly concentrated in specific localities of the subcontinent.

• "Whether that knowhow can be disseminated into new areas of India will in part determine whether rapid growth can be sustained in the long-term," it said. Director of CID, professor at Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) and the leading researcher of The Atlas of Economic Complexity, Ricardo Hausmann said that Southeast Asia continues to dominate the global growth landscape, driven by the diversification of economies into complex manufacturing, but the leading countries have shifted within the region, with the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Thailand poised to lead growth in the coming decade.

Uganda comes second on the list of the fastest growing economies to 2026, predicted to grow at 7.5 per cent annually. The growth projections are based on economic complexity, a single measure of each country's economy which captures the diversity and sophistication of the productive capabilities embedded in a country's exports. The report further noted that after a decade of growth driven by record oil and commodity prices, the researchers find a landscape that has shifted in favor of more diversified economies. In sub-Saharan Africa, growth is shifting eastward from commodity-driven West Africa to East Africa, with Uganda, Tanzania (4th), and Kenya (10th) in the top 10 predicted fastest growing countries globally for the coming decade. The researchers further point out that many low-income countries, including Bangladesh, Venezuela, and Angola have failed to diversify their knowhow and face low growth prospects. "Others like India, Turkey, and the Philippines have successfully added productive capabilities to enter new sectors and will drive growth over the coming decade," said Sebastian Bustos, a lead CID researcher in trade and economic complexity methods.

Bandra-Versova sealink to be built by RInfra in 5 yrs

A consortium of Reliance Infrastructure and Italy’s Astaldi will build the 10-km Bandra-Versova sealink in five years. The state government on Friday awarded the Rs 6,994 -crore project to the consortium though the bid, lowest among the five in the fray, was Rs 1,477 crore higher than the Rs 5,516 crore estimate made by the government in November 2016 while inviting bids.


Construction of the sealink, expected to reduce the Bandra-Versova travel time to around 10 minutes, is likely to begin in October. The smooth drive will come at a premium for motorists as the minimum toll will be Rs 130 when the sealink opens by 2023.

“The letter of acceptance has been issued to the joint venture,” said Radheshyam Mopalwar, MD of Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation, which is in charge of the project.

What Walmart will do next after buying in India, selling in UK

• https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com...-india-selling-in-uk/articleshow/64108318.cms

Speaking from experience, this is good news for India`s Common Man. Walmart will do what Maruti did, revolutionise Indian retail. Manufacturing boom and jobs for the poor too as neither China imports of good s or labour are any hack for India.

Chinese and others will set up shop locally and also Indian manufacturers will amp up their work because Wal-mart is basically Made-in-China`s marketing and sales agent.

For all the heartbreak folks crying over desi Mom-&-Pop stores and Chor Bazaars - sorry, I don`t care.

Did you notice how your door-step veggie vendor, kirana shop - wallah (there`s never a Mom in the desi Mom-Pop store) and the Chhor- Sunday Bazaar dirty illiterate and jailbird type vendors treat our Mom`s and Pop`s.

No receipt, no return Free-for-All, anything goes type shopping ends up a wild, un-called for adventure on a daily basis, yuck.

The only merit India carried during its bad old commie style days of Nehruvian Socialism of the 70-to-80`s was consumer goods like beer-whiskey, jeans and clothing, bicycles, scooters, motorcycles, cars and many-many personal goods not available in Commie countries. It was not a time of big brands and crass consumerism. My parents generation.

Shopping @ Wal-Mart is going to be like a trip to Disneyland comparatively re. India`s non-existent shopping consumerism.

Wal-Mart can transform India altogether from shopping, jobs and service plus end-user manufacturing. With the dilution of the China narrative and risisng costs, Wal-Mart may even duplicate or expand its Global sourcing base by getting its Chinese suppliers to set up shop in India, and of course go for Indian suppliers who are the only ones to take on China.
