    The dispute over what comprises AGR is decades old, so instead of letting it bounce from one court to another, the government needed to sit down with industry and settle the definition once and for all.

    Those who get both Covid-19 shots at a cost of Rs 500 are obviously better off as compared to a situation where they are asked to Rs 2,000 going by the free-market price Poonawala said he would like to charge. But, if the result of the price control is delaying supply to others, their loss can be huge since it could result in them requiring greater hospitalisation; indeed, till the country is fully vaccinated, parts of the economy will continue to face some kind of lockdown and, when that happens, even those who benefitted from the price caps may have to bear an additional cost due to job losses and higher inflation resulting from supply disruptions.
    That little thing called economics!

    Good call to free vaccine pricing. Price controls help one lot but, as supplies dwindle, this hurts those who don’t…

    India can’t fight Covid with such planning

    Whether it is the fiasco with vaccines or hospital beds, all suggest a last-minute approach rather than a long-term one

    While Poonawalla spoke of finding alternative funding sources if need be, he seemed to indicate his preference for the government giving this amount as a grant.
    Modi’s vaccine plans may unravel if he doesn’t make up with manufacturers

    As it happens, data from ICMR analysed by the National Centre for Disease Control shows that 22% of those with Covid-19 are 21-30 years old, 22% are 31-40 and another 17% are 41-50.

    Is it a wonder that Covid is surging?

    From low/poor testing to a slow pace of vaccinations, both the centre and state governments continue to get it wrong

    Since such localisation targets are also WTO-incompatible, it is not clear why such schemes are being planned; investors get wary if they feel the schemes can be challenged at WTO.

    As long as this law remains on the statute, as is evident from arrests made by governments headed by various political parties at the Centre and in the states, politicians will continue to abuse it.

    While MTNL is likely to become even more irrelevant – its share in the wireless market fell from 0.8% to 0.3% in the last decade – now that BSNL is to be allowed to provide cellular telephony in Delhi and Mumbai, it is not clear how BSNL is to be revived either.
