FDI into India as a % of global FDI has doubled since 2013-14. This rr over muh drop in FDI does not hold much water.
And to be honest we should not be interested in funding the pension of old whitoid cumskins in any case. They looted our country off the wealth and restored their fancy goth architecture.
Made a society where one has lots of free time to experiment and advance in science without worrying about next meal, while we faced man-made famine.
Now they are here with that same wealth (in fiat form), thinking that they can survive off the interest earned through it.

Let the likes of Vanguard and BlackRock collapse. slowly and steadily we should be brrring our own printers, and compensate the currency with the export surplus.
Slow but steady walk of Indian might elephant, it will make us turn the table of imbalanced wealth distribution.

was pondering on this a few days back..

we keep worrying about the judgemental and condescending attitudes towards our nations by the "liberal world order" every now and then. if they continue with their judgements from their high pedestal, theoretically nothing stops countries that are at the receiving end now to arrive at a consensus and decide not to supply any goods to these 37 countries that call themselves "liberal world order" especially european ones.

they say we don't qualify for their standards of being a democracy, human rights, climate change blah blah, we say we don't want to burden you with guilt of buying our goods and services, you can keep your money to yourself, it's a fiat currency anyways which is not pegged against any real value.

even if they try and prevent such a consensus by playing one against the other, such a "academic debate" on refusal to sell goods to former coloniser's continent will have a significant impact on their exchange rates.

even if these rich European nations end up being stars on US flag, world will keep chugging along just fine.

We really want to fellatio on such news? Germany population is 80 million and Japan’s is 120-130 million. Each of these countries are like 2 states within India in terms of population. We have a long way to go. India will become the 3rd largest economy is 100% guaranteed, but we will be far behind #1 and #2. That is a cause for worry. I simply still do not see rapid urbanization happening in high population states of India. There is urbanization happening but it is slow. I am 100% convinced that without a focused effort on urbanization which leads to extra productivity and increased incomes, we cannot grow to the potential we want. Unfortunately there is no Modi ki guarantee for urban reforms and making all the 700+ district headquarter cities engines of job growth. This is a big problem. I think we are not going to cross 6-7% average growth without urban transformation and planned urbanization.

There is nothing to get shocked about here in India.
Tesla is getting a lucrative offer for sharing or selling FSD in China market. They are getting a deal for maps with Baidu in China. Tesla is selling close to ~80K cars per month there.

We are just a beginning or a pipeline dream market for them currently. Expect no big action here in India unless they have a right product for our market.

Tesla Baidu deal will have 2 year shelf life before Baidu reverse engineers FSD.

TBH, Tesla will never succeed in India especially with Elon Musk's impatient edgelord personality style. More dedicated serious companies like Ford, GM have failed to understand customer preferences and shut shop.

Unless he comes up with a viable Model 2, there's no chance basically. It's a difficult market, needs a lot of patience.

It's progress, anyway size of economy targets should be EU, China, US in that order, befitting our population size

No. American Companies never able to crack Indian Automobile Sector. All of them failed in either one way or another.

GM (Chevrolet) - Poor Management. Failed Products. Mediocre offerings during end of Times.
Ford - Same. No model Refresh.
Dodge, GMC, Lincoln - Never tried and don't have product that fits Indian Market.

Harley Davidson - Failed across World including their own Markets. Now surviving in India using Hero Motocorp.

I have raised the obstacle for Tesla. Their current offerings were basically in the Luxury segment and Tesla goes through Giga factory where the production rate is high. Indian Luxury segment is very small and Tesla cannot justify their investment.

Unless there is car from Tesla in the price bracket of 15L-25L. Then only they can some demand.

Tesla has been consistently bleeding market share in ccpstan; he has to diversify his bets. I have been reading articles describing Musk's India plans across gora media since 2020 - they couldn't be wrong all the time (unless they have been collectively fed wrong intel on a continued basis - something I find hard to believe).

Way I see it, more and more Indian's are shifting towards 5 seater SUV/MUV.

Tesla doesn't have any car in its portfolio that can match the existing competition here plus I am not sure if the entry level Tesla's with low ground clearance would find many takers.

Our speed breakers are like high rises and have seen cars and bikes(Harleys) struggle on them.
