    Going by the comments further down, someone might demand RS Pura basmati rice at 29 bucks a kilo. Pulses are a must to keep hoarders in check.

    We are deficient in lentils production. Storage is not the issue. Rice is a tricky subject because variety X that is cheaper may be in surplus but supply of variety Y may be scarce because say only N tons are produced every year because demand is almost constant with marginal increments which...

    Free food scheme no longer has an expiry date. I don't buy the affordable housing theory either. Multiple members of the same family apply for the scheme, have 1 room homes built on a large piece of land and rent it out. Worse, heard people in AP sold off their free houses to people for 5...

    LOL.. that's an odd generalization. Consumption with liberal usage for us, a family of three has been less than 200 units despite washing machine, odd use of microwave, most clothes get ironed at home by the maid. Did not apply for Gruha Jyoti scheme. It would be criminal for folks who can...

    We are past the stage of 'Templates of projects'. Most of them are already templated/prototyped, done and dusted requiring some customization here and there. Imagine if a mid sized high end restaurant discarded its existing IT solution and switched to SAP from POS to MM, it should be a wake up...

    AI after scanning through millions of lines of open source code cannot build a product and release it under a commercial license only if the 'source' itself has been released under GPL in the past. Last time, SAP tried to play cheeky, it got sued by Oracle. They were lucky to get away with a...

    Come on dude.. Punto was a tank but I agree with the bleeding part. Ownership cost was steep. Owned a Palio for a brief period. Absolutely loved it. Friend owned a Punto and I was always uncertain if the brakes would work. It seriously felt like sitting in the cabin of a fully loaded freight...

    Discounts were because of inventory pile up in the EV segment. Wait for March car sales data and hope sales pick up. Wish Tata and Mahindra invested heavily in Ola, Hero Motors etc given 65-70% of petrol consumption happens in the two wheeler segment and focusing on this segment with some...

    It seemed to be designed to give Tesla a token presence with a maximum of 8k CKD imported cars allowed under the 'scheme' so they stop griping about high taxes but given the speed at which Chinese establish manufacturing/assembling ecosystems, wouldn't be surprised if they take absolute control...

    The new policy could just be the opening they were looking for. We surrendered domestic mobile handset market to the Chinese in 2-3 years where they began to enjoy a brute monopoly. Auto was one segment where we had some respectable levels of localization. Lets hope it survives the Chinese...
