With rebasing of GDP could we see it in the USD 4.8-5.0 TN range for CY 2026?

Yes, it is possible. Problem is INR depreciation which has happened despite very low inflation and weakening dollar. Similar to Yen. Otherwise we would've been $5 trn by now already.

Yeah, that is true. The REER has fallen to 94-95 while typically it tends to remain around 100. So that explains another 5% decline in GDP.
Hopefully, if a good trade deal is landed, that 5% upside on forex rate could happen. Inshallah that could potentially give us a 15% upside on nameplate GDP (10% rebasing, 5% REER gain). But this depends on Trump agreeing on a trade deal. Let's petition our brother @r3alist to put in a good word with DJT for us.

Jan 12 (Reuters) - India's Reliance Industries said on Monday that its plans for battery storage manufacturing remain unchanged, following a Bloomberg News report that said the conglomerate had paused plans to make lithium-ion battery cells in India after failing to secure Chinese technology.
"Reliance Industries strongly and categorically affirms that there has been no change in our plans for creating a world leading battery storage manufacturing ecosystem from Cell to containerised ESS (energy storage system) and that they are progressing well in line with our target timelines," a company spokesperson said in an email to Reuters.
The Mukesh Ambani-led conglomerate, which aimed to start manufacturing cells this year, had been in discussions with Chinese firm Xiamen Hithium Energy Storage Technology to license cell technology, Bloomberg News reported on Sunday, citing people who did not want to be identified.
The talks stalled after Xiamen withdrew from the proposed partnership following China's curbs on overseas technology transfers in key sectors, prompting Reliance to refocus on assembling battery energy storage systems, the report said.
Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
Last October, Beijing announced controls on exports of lithium battery components, requiring exporters to obtain permits, tightening China's grip on technology critical for energy storage and electric vehicles.

The current news is:
After failing to acquire battery cell manufacturing technology, Reliance Industries will cease its related battery cell manufacturing plans. In the future, it will refocus on assembling battery energy storage systems.
Simply put, they will import battery cells from abroad, assemble their own branded battery energy storage systems domestically, and then sell them.
Most big indian companies don't want to do research.they are happy with screw driving
