NEW DELHI: Elon Musk’s surprise visit to China this week won concessions for Tesla ( TSLA.O ) but left India feeling rejected after he canceled a planned trip there earlier this month, with Indian commentators calling the move injustice. India’s pained response underscores the growing rivalry between India and China, Asia’s two largest countries by population and among the region’s most dynamic economies. Business and diplomatic relations between them have been strained since the 2020 border clash that left 20 Indian and four Chinese soldiers dead. Musk was due to meet with Modi last week and announce an investment of

NEW DELHI: Behind the doors of a small office in the heart of New Delhi is the seat of an electoral trust run by just two men who are the biggest known donors to India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), according to a Reuters review of public records.

India’s top court orders SBI to share names of political sponsors

NEW DELHI: India’s Supreme Court on Monday rejected State Bank of India’s ( SBI.NS ) plea for more time to make public the names of individuals and companies that donated billions of rupees to political parties through an opaque funding scheme. The court had on February 15 struck down the seven-year-old election financing system that allowed unlimited and anonymous donations to political parties, calling it “unconstitutional”. The decision was a setback for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party, which was the biggest beneficiary of the scheme introduced in 2017, and came ahead of national elections expected in April or

India’s Supreme Court scraps electoral bonds in BJP setback

NEW DELHI: India’s Supreme Court on Thursday struck down a seven-year-old election funding scheme that allows individuals and companies to make unlimited and anonymous donations to political parties, calling it “unconstitutional”. The decision is seen as a setback for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party, which was the biggest beneficiary of the scheme it introduced in 2017. The scheme, called Electoral Bonds, was challenged by opposition members and a civil society group on the grounds that it impeded the public’s right to know who had given money to political parties. Under the system, an individual or company could buy

Modi will bet on popularity over populism in pre-poll budget

NEW DELHI: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to reverse a trend of big spending on new welfare programs in a budget ahead of a general election to focus on infrastructure to keep the economy muted while narrowing the fiscal gap. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will announce the 2024/25 budget on February 1, which economists say will be heavy on political messages, drumming up the Modi government’s pitch for inclusive growth but conservative in its approach to expenses. “The government will likely seek to strike a balance between pre-election policy messages, fiscal consolidation needs and continued focus on capital
