Toyota deputy MD Swapnesh R. Maru said Toyota had already taken possession of 800+ acres, finished fencing and started land levelling. Crucially, he said a majority of Toyota's parts suppliers had also received access to their land.

He put another 400-500 acres aside for parts suppliers and estimated their investment at ₹4,000-5,000 crore over and above Toyota's ₹20,000 crore.

Why are we responding to the economy trolls. Ignore them and they will disappear.

InvestmentApprox. INR 5.758 billion (approx. JPY 9.3 billion)

That's about 600M$ in this project alone.

₹5.758 billion = ₹575.8 crore.
Because ₹1 billion = ₹100 crore, the conversion is simply:
5.758 × 100 = 575.8 crore.

So, the investment you quoted is approximately ₹575.8 crore or roughly ₹576 crore.

Things are so bad apparently we are the second largest exporter of diesel fuel.

"Ratings agency ICRA estimated Indian airlines will lose nearly $4 billion this fiscal year."

Air India's losses more than doubled to $2.3 billion in the last fiscal year, while IndiGo has reported losses for two consecutive quarters.

The strain is also affecting expansion plans.

IndiGo last month shut down its wide-body operations, while Air India is reportedly considering delaying deliveries of as many as 500 aircraft."

operation sindoor. The gift that keep giving. $6.3bn loss in 2 years.

there's a reason why paxtan scores so high in happiness index, being extremely ignorant and being always high on your own stuff can truly be a life-saving skill



airlines all over the world are facing financial pressure due to rising costs, but this fact can never deter a paxtani from fulfilling their emotional needs through delusions.

Similar car will cost 3x more in Pakistan. Not fair.

All the brave, outstanding people get to drive taxis and monopolise the sexy blue collar jobs, while we poor, spineless, bootlicking Indians are stuck with higher paying IT and other white collar jobs. Poor us, we even get to send the jobs back to India. What to do? Hope our situation improves.

You said this about the USA, don't get angry, just saying now Indian job opportunities in USA are seen as a national security threat to USA

NZ is not that big, not that many jobs and white collar jobs are reducing on aggregate.

This whole GDP thing was discussed to death here. Please read back why you guys stopped arguing about it

I was discreetly removed access from the thread, couldn't even identify themselves who did it, so I didn't technically stop

So I wouldn't brag about how the argument was won

However I am also done with the topic

And some emerging macro news is positive for India

 

[r3alist]

DO you know, what methodology Fitch, S&P or Moody's use to calculate a country's credit rating? Have you ever questioned them on their methodology?

If not then why do you question them on their GDP growth rates?

Actually I do, their reports are transparent but also rely on available data, they can get things wrong and always revise when needed, but they are a useful external consensus opinion and I posted their upgrades a few pages back

The difference is you ONLY want positive news, the imf quote is not wholly positive but let's leave that

Our neighbours are itself a joke. Their data collection problems are result of data not being available and too political. That's why many of them believe undokumented ekonomy is in trillions. I always say the standard is different for GDDS and SDDS countries and it shows.

No one said data collection was up to scratch, hence why no one looks at one sole number as a Panacea in the region, except one country

You draw attention to it then sulk if it's discussed.


Remember India is continental sized, regional differences significant, you can fill the thread up with factory by factory announcement but that's one data point

You guys sound like the backbenchers who scored zero, giving the first bencher advice on how to recover the 15 marks he lost after scoring 85/100. Pass the exam first before trying to mock us on the 15 we lost. If there was some genuine criticism it's welcome, but you need to read up to find them instead of hunting headlines that's just lazy.

Right, we’re filling the country with factory after factory, but apparently that’s “just a data point.” Smartest guy I’ve met in a PDF. No shit genius it’s an important data point. Capital expenditure in India has exploded, and infrastructure is being built at a pace that clearly makes some people uncomfortable. Hence the endless nitpicking and trolling. What happens when a country starts fixing its fundamentals electricity, housing, water, infrastructure road rail? People start looking beyond basic necessities toward jobs and opportunities, men and women alike. Economics 101. If your view of India is still “cheap labour, scammers, giant fake economy, that runs because muh H1B money,” you’re arguing with a version of the country that increasingly exists only in your head.

You mean 16L? That would be normal exchange rate or 40L due to import tax etc ?

I asked GPT. and damnnnn. It's crazy.

To get a car in Pakistan that offers a 10.25-inch infotainment screen, a 360-degree camera, wireless charging, and 6 standard airbags, you would have to step well past entry-level sedans and look into the subcompact crossover or premium sedan segments:Changan Alsvin / Honda City / Toyota Yaris: Pakistan's standard entry-level sedans typically range from PKR 44 Lakh to PKR 59 Lakh depending on the variant. However, even their top-tier trims lack premium features found standard on the Aeris, such as front-ventilated seats, 6 standard airbags, or a factory-integrated dashcam.Modern Features Equivalent: To match the exact tech and safety suite of the top-end Tata Aeris in Pakistan, you would realistically be looking at cross-overs like the Chery Tiggo 4 Pro or higher-spec vehicles, which retail anywhere from PKR 65 Lakh to PKR 70 Lakh+.

If anyone, you should be banned from this thread, that's not an economy point


It's an open forum, control your self triggering, saying people shouldn't contribute is not a valid contribution

A lot of bleating, honestly. Your industrial output relative to global output is not materially changing, that's why I don't see the need to post when you are happy about moving sideways at best. That's an economic opinion btw.
