India’s gold imports increased 54% to $3.97 billion in Apr 2019, widening
trade deficit and fuelling worries about the current account deficit (CAD),
according to media news. Gold imports stood at $2.58 billion in Apr 2019,
reports cited data from the commerce ministry. Increase in gold imports
have increased trade deficit to a five-month high of $15.33 billion in Apr
2019. The country's current account deficit (CAD) widened to 2.5% of GDP
in the third quarter of the last financial year from 2.1% a year ago,
primarily on account of a higher trade deficit, though the foreign exchange
reserves continued to go up.
The NITI Aayog has made a plan for creating an institutional framework
for artificial intelligence (AI), according to media reports. The department
has circulated a cabinet note to provide Rs. 7,500 crore in funding for
creation of cloud computing platform called AIRAWAT and research
institutes. Reports said the Aayog has already circulated the note for
consideration by the Expenditure Finance Committee, which is expected
to take it up soon.
India could miss its renewable energy target of 175-GW for 2022 by
around 55 GW as many issues remain unresolved. While the Centre issued
around 58.7 GW of RE tenders in FY19 and announced results for 24.5 GW
capacity, tenders for 17.3 GW got cancelled, including 6.5 GW for which
results had been announced. Also, 6.8 GW of tenders for which results
were announced in FY19 were under-subscribed by 4.2 GW. The fiscal saw
RE capacity addition fall to 8.6 GW from 11.8 GW in FY18 compared with
11.3 GW for FY17. As of Mar 31, 2019, India’s RE capacity stood at 77.6
GW, which included 35.3 GW of wind and 28.6 GW of solar capacity. The
fall in capacity addition has been attributed to rising finance costs, tariff
caps and cancellation of project tenders.
