Capital goods boom, apparel bust: India's manufacturing growth is concentrated where it creates the fewest jobs
India’s industrial growth shows a worrying divide. Capital-intensive sectors driven by domestic demand are performing well. However, labor-intensive sectors crucial for jobs and exports are struggling. This imbalance limits India’s manufacturing potential. Experts suggest a need for tailored export strategies to boost competitiveness and achieve broader economic growth

Beyond CSR: Mining Regions Need Environmental Health Systems
India’s mining belts, from Dhanbad’s coalfields to Korba’s industrial clusters and Angul-Talcher’s coal complex, have long epitomised the country’s development trajectory: abundant energy, industrial growth and economic momentum. Yet behind this narrative lies a persistent environmental health challenge for communities living around mines and power plants. Development indicators may rise, but health indicators in these regions often lag, shaped by chronic exposure to polluted air, contaminated water and toxic metals.

The India–EU FTA and a State That Stands to Gain the Most
The India-EU Free Trade Agreement heralds a major reset in India’s trade playbook with one of its most valuable markets. With bilateral merchandise trade at USD 136.54 billion in FY25 and exports of USD 75.85 billion, yielding a USD 15.29 bn surplus, the agreement comes as the EU withdraws GSP preferences, exposing 87 per cent of India’s exports to tariffs. These withdrawals have been sharp in labour-intensive sectors such as textiles, apparel and leather. By eliminating duties on over 99 per cent of India’s export value, the FTA replaces uncertainty with predictable market access.

Post-covid Assam has been one of the fastest-growing states in India, with a nominal rate of growth of 13 per cent in 2024-25 and average per capita income growth of more than 10 per cent over the past 3 years. While the pursuit of sustained growth is often seen to be driven by industrial corridors and infrastructure, the most potent lever for growth in modern Assam is not made of steel or concrete, but of “Nari Shakti.”

Few cricketing nations today can rotate players across formats, conditions, and opponents with the ease that India can. India’s advantage is not the production of a few superstars, but the creation of a large middle of credible replacements; good enough to execute roles under pressure.

Progress on paper, but a deeper nutritional crisis that India can no longer afford to overlook.

Behind GDP headlines lie millions of children who remain stunted, wasted, or underweight. These are not just health statistics; they signal lost potential, lost productivity, and deepening inequality.

Lead as health hazard: When the climate instability and social vulnerability intersect
Lead exposure remains one of the most neglected public health threats of our time. There is no known safe level of lead in the human body. Even low exposure can irreversibly damage children’s brain development, impair learning, and increase lifelong risks of cardiovascular disease. Despite the phase-out of leaded petrol and some regulatory progress, exposure continues through contaminated water, food, soil, household dust, informal recycling, and poorly managed waste. India bears a disproportionate share of this burden. UNICEF and Pure Earth estimates suggest that about half of Indian children have blood lead levels above recommended thresholds, with the highest risks concentrated among poorer households and informal workers. The impacts extend beyond health, undermining education outcomes and long-term economic productivity.

Bihar in Numbers: Growth Without Private Investment and its Costs
As Bihar heads into another election season, political slogans about development and growth will once again echo across its towns and villages. But beneath the rhetoric lies a quieter story told by numbers-one that speaks of progress, paradoxes, and persistent challenges. To grasp Bihar’s economic paradox, one number says it all. In 2024-25, Bihar’s per capita income is estimated at around Rs69,321 (MOSPI); roughly what India’s average income was in 2012-13. Put simply, the average Bihari today is as prosperous as the average Indian was over a decade ago. Bihar, in 2011-12, had a per capita income of Rs28,671. Even though it grew 142 per cent by 2024-25, faster than India at 137 per cent, the low base meant the State is sprinting hard just to stay in place within India’s growth story.

India’s Lead Crisis: Time to ‘lead’ from the front
The world marks International Lead Poisoning Prevention Week (ILPPW) from 19-25 October 2025. As India progresses to an aspirational Viksit Bharat by 2047, this is also the time when the nation must unlock its true demographic dividend, with a bold, time-bound national goal to eliminate childhood lead exposure by 2040 in keeping with the global agenda. Lead poisoning is, unfortunately, a relatively under-recognized environmental threat.

AgTech for the Transformation of Agriculture in India
India stands at a pivotal juncture in its agricultural development journey. With a cultivable area of over 157 million hectares—second only to the United States—and the pressing need to ensure both food and ecological security for a growing population, agriculture must evolve rapidly. The sector is confronting interlinked challenges: soil degradation, erratic weather patterns due to climate change, falling groundwater levels, and increasing air and water pollution. Simultaneously, farmer incomes remain low, and productivity growth has plateaued in many regions. These issues underline the urgency for a new approach—one rooted in technological transformation
