For the country to remain the 'pharmacy of the world,' it must overcome the squeeze of US tariffs and Chinese breakthroughs. To not just survive the future but thrive, we need an overhaul of how the biotech industry is governed.

NITI Aayog has launched India's first nationwide investment ranking. The bigger question is whether investors will actually use it to decide where to invest.

India should let data flow upward to get a clearer picture of ground realities. We must also resist the temptation of making district data add up to numbers we already have—for that’ll defeat the purpose.

India’s data-centre expansion is being shaped by a major domestic policy push and robust investments by Big Tech players. Financial frameworks and project assessment criteria should evolve appropriately to fund this emerging category.

A NITI Aayog report promotes small cars and also suggests incentives for hybrids and flex-fuel vehicles alongside EVs, leaving automakers divided.
