  • Daily Economic News Summary: 8 May 2018
    Daily Economic News Summary: 8 May 2018 Daily Economic News Summary: 8 May 2018 1. Google Tax May Be Broadened To Cover Non-Digital MNCs Source: The Economic Times (Link) A budgetary proposal to tax multinationals with a substantial user base in India such as Google and Facebook is now being widened to include non-digital companies. This could mean that any company that merely sells goods or services in India could see domestic taxes of up to 42% on their profits, said two people with direct knowledge of the matter. The government is planning to introduce rules to effect the change proposed in the budget in the coming weeks, said one of the persons quoted above. Many tax experts fear this could impact several multinational companies that only export goods or services to India. Drafting of the rules must be water tight so that the rules don’t get misused and any company that merely trades with India doesn’t get burdened with tax at 42% on net profit method,” said Vijay Iyer, national leader, transfer pricing, EY India While the focus is on multinationals operating in India through tax havens, the government could look at negotiating tax treaties with several countries. This could multilateral instruments (MLI) or bilateral negotiations. MLIs are basically common tax agreement which could lead to uniform tax regulations for all investors, irrespective of which destination they come from. MLIs are part of the base erosion and profit sharing (BEPS) framework. 2. Government Scraps Plan To Privatise Oilfields Source: The Economic Times (Link) The government has shelved the plan to privatise several key ageing fields of ONGC and Oil India following strong opposition from the state-run companies and consultations between the oil ministry and the Prime Minister’s Office.

CE indicates credit enhancement derived from the security cover of 1.5x for 75% of the Bank Guarantee amount by the pledge of shares of Adani Transmission Ltd.

  • Free Trade After RCEP: What Next for India?
    APRIL 2020 ISSUE NO. 353 Free Trade after RCEP: What Next for India? NANDINI SARMA ABSTRACT India pulled out of the planned Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) in 2018 after entering negotiations in 2013. India has a trade deficit with 11 out of the 15 RCEP countries and some analysts have theorised that India decided to opt out of the agreement because of such adverse trade balance. Indeed, India has a trade deficit with most of its trade partners in past free trade agreements (FTAs). It is in this context that this brief examines India’s trade deficit with two of the top trading partners within RCEP with whom India has an existing trade agreement— i.e., Japan and South Korea, and points to what India must do to tilt the trade balance in its favour. It also explores India’s trade relations with Australia, with which the country is negotiating an FTA. It highlights what India must do in future FTA deals to reduce trade deficits and gain from such agreements.

  • Seriously Stressed and Stranded: the Burden of Non-Performing Assets in India's Thermal Power Sector 2
    Tim Buckley, Director Energy Finance Studies, Australia/South Asia 1 Vibhuti Garg, Energy Economist Simon Nicholas, Energy Finance Analyst Kashish Shah, Energy Finance Analyst December 2019 Seriously Stressed and Stranded The Burden of Non-Performing Assets in India's Thermal Power Sector Executive Summary India’s thermal generation sector is carrying US$40-60 billion (bn) in non- performing or stranded assets supported by the troubled banking sector. This is undermining the flow of capital critical to sustain strong economic growth and a renewable energy future. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Government of India has embraced the enormous opportunities emerging from low cost renewable energy, including the additional energy security benefits from a reduced reliance on imported expensive fossil fuels. A rapid expansion of domestic wind and solar infrastructure is driving sustainable investment and employment prospects. At the same time, renewables are providing part of the solution to growing water stress and air pollution issues that are eroding quality of life and the sustainability of economic growth. With zero indexation contracts extending for 25 year terms, year one renewable energy tariffs consistently below Rs3/kilowatt hour (kWh) are now the low cost source of electricity supply in India. LOW COST RENEWABLE TARIFFS ARE A FUNDAMENTAL THREAT to the viability of new and proposed thermal coal-fired power plants. This is only going to intensify over time given the ongoing capital cost deflation in the renewable sector. The economics of low cost renewables has already destroyed the viability of proposed new import coal-fired power plants. Low cost renewables are also progressively eroding the viability of non-mine mouth coal-fired power plants, given these plants must also wear the burden of expensive and rising rail transportation costs and supply disruptions.
