My paper in Sustainable Futures finds that even with lower PLI subsidies than the US IRA, India’s approach to SolarPV manufacturing offers lessons on policy design for clean energy transitions. @mnreindia @ElsevierConnect @ISID_India

This is a message which we need to act upon with greater vigour in these time of fractured trading system to leverage our domestic market for building our manufacturing sector!
For peace, stability and prosperity in the world, India must become self-reliant.

It was a pleasure to join the DOST round table chaired by @gopalkagarwal and to initiate the discussion and learn about the challenges MSMEs face in manufacturing. Everyone was convinced that MSMEs have to play an important role in fostering manufacturing sector & job creation.
At the Round Table Discussion on “Strengthening MSMEs for Manufacturing Takeoff”, hosted by @noida_dialogue (DOST) in New Delhi, I had the honour of leading deliberations with diverse stakeholders on the future of MSMEs. The thoughtful perspectives shared underscored the fact

The Agarbatti story needs to be replicated for several labour-intensive consumer goods industries which have been hollowed-out by cheap imports hurting MSMEs and jobs. This case study shows that right industrial policy interventions do deliver in reviving industries and jobs!
In 2011, a reckless duty cut nearly killed India’s ₹3,000 Cr agarbatti industry Cheap Chinese & Vietnamese imports shot up from ₹31 Cr in 2009 to ₹546 Cr in 2019, flooding the market & forcing 1/4 Indian factories to shut THREAD: How India fought back and turned it around🧵
