Message from Sh Suresh Prabhu ( Rail Minister, GOI)

Dear Friends,

It is our Honorable Prime Minister's firm belief that Indian Railway has the potential to become
the backbone of India's progress and economic development. This is the vision we all are
working for at Indian Railways with you as our partner.

18 months ago, when I took over the reigns of this great organization called Indian Railways, I
was faced with many challenges. I had the option of making small incremental changes or go
beyond business as usual. I chose the latter

Bringing in systemic changes was the need of the hour. It was important to change the perception
of Indian Railways from a slow moving behemoth to a responsive modern organization. It is
satisfying for me to note that we have made some progress. A lot is still to be done.

Our Prime Minister has asserted many times that our Government's priority is the commonest of
common man of the country and it is with this in mind, we worked on improving the travel
experience for our people. We launched a host of initiatives aimed at this.

An E-book on two year achievements of Indian Railways:
htt p://www.indianrailways.gov.in/railwayboard/uploads/directorate/prd/downloads/Two_Years_

Capital expenditure in 2015-16 was about Rs. 94,000 Cr which is almost double
the average annual capital expenditure over the previous five-year period of 2009-14

Electrification of 1730 kms done in the last year is a huge jump over 2009-14 annual
average of 1184 kms

A responsive 24x7 complaint resolution mechanism employed through the use of social
media

Cleanliness: Swachh Rail, Swachh Bharat campaign, Clean my Coach Service launched,
third party cleanliness audits conducted for stations

E-catering, E-wheelchair, E-bedroll facilities launched to ensure seamless availability and
access to these facilities

Ticketing: IRCTC capacity increased, Automatic ticket vending machines installed,
cancellation of PRS tickets through cell phone launched, Vikalp scheme launched

Speed: India's first semi high speed train Gatimaan Express launched, trial run of Talgo
coaches underway

N-E Connectivity: Barak Valley of Assam, Agartala, Mizoram and Manipur connected to
broad gauge

High speed Wi-Fi launched at various stations with a target of 400 stations by 2018

Environment: A provision of 1% of total project cost made in all future projects to spend
on environment protection measures, major thrust on solar and wind energy provided,
traditional lights replaced by environment friendly LED lights

100% E-tendering implemented resulting in transparent and accountable procurement
process
While I continue my journey on this noble mission of `Transforming India' through
`Transforming Railways,`I seek your increased participation and support. Together we can make
the Indian Railways better.

Yours Sincerely,

Suresh Prabhu

Indian Economic Update

Amendment of RBI Act paves way for MPC

Government amendment of the RBI Act (1934) by the Finance Act 2016 paves the way for setting up a Monetary Policy Committee (MPC). This is in line with international experience.

A six member MPC with the RBI Governor as the Chairman and three external members will be constituted with the former entitled to a casting vote.

The MPC is likely to be formed within the next few months. In addition, fiscal policy and selection of the next RBI Governor will remain in focus in the near term.

Cabinet approves 7th Pay Panel recommendations

The Cabinet approved the recommendations of the Expert Committee on 7th Pay Commission(PC). The recommendations will result in 23.6% increase in total wage bill and pension of the Central Government employees. Total financial impact of 7PC (including allowances) in FY2017 had been estimated at ₹ 1021 bn. However, given that the approval is only to pay and pensions for now, the current government outgo amounts to ~₹ 849 bn.

Key highlights are as follows:

Allowance hike not yet approved: The Cabinet has approved the recommendations on hike in pay and pension, amounting to 16% and 23.6% respectively. The hike in allowances (including ~139% hike in House Rent Allowance) hasn’t been approved, leading to a government saving of ₹293 bn.
Current allowances will be continued to be paid. Finance Minister highlighted that 2-3 groups will be appointed on pay allowances hike.
7PC to be implemented retrospectively from Jan 2016: Arrears with effect from Jan 2016, amounting to ₹ 121.3 bn, will be paid within this fiscal. However, the payment will be done in tranches.
Minimum pay increased from ₹ 7000 per month to ₹ 18000 per month
Gratuity to be hiked from ₹ 10 lakhs to ₹ 20 lakhs
Impact of 7PC on fiscal to be watched

The total financial impact of 7PC has been pegged at ₹ 849 bn currently. Of this INR 606.1 bn (71%) will be borne by the General Government budget while ₹ 243.2 bn (29%) will be borne by the Railway Budget in this fiscal. In FY2017, the Government aims to reduce deficit by 0.4% of GDP to 3.5% of GDP.

Given that allowances have not been approved, the impact on inflation will be limited in the near term. There is likely to be some second round impact on inflation on account of likely boost in consumption demand.

Other important data released during the week -

India Apr-May fiscal gap stood at 42.9% of the FY2017 budget aim of ₹ 5.34 tn vs. 37.5% in the same period, last year.
India's eight core industries' growth came in at 2.8% YoY in May vs. prior print of 8.5% YoY.
IMD reported further advancement of southwest monsoon in some more parts of East Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, West Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab & Haryana, entire Chandigarh & Delhi and parts of West Rajasthan during next 2¬-3 days.
RBI released its June 2016 Financial Stability Report. The report highlighted unintended side effects of current ultra-easy monetary policies pursued in many advanced economies. The report also talked about firm growth and investment potential in India as compared to other emerging market economies, though there is a need for a fillip in gross fixed capital formation to sustain higher levels of growth.
Global Update

In a historic move, the United Kingdom voted to exit the European Union, with 52% voting in favour of the “leave” side.

Moody’s revised UK’s sovereign rating to negative from stable on Saturday. Bank of England (BoE) Governor Mr. Mark Carney in an address following the result of the UK referendum remarked that the Central Bank will take additional measures as markets adjust to the outcome, if needed. The Central Bank has also decided to provide additional funding to the tune of GBP 250 bn through its normal facilities.

Standard &Poor's(S&P) downgrades UK to AA from AAA earlier and Fitch has lowered its rating to AA as well from AA+ earlier, citing growth concerns post Brexit.

Britain’s PM was asked to leave the summit in Brussels, while leaders of the remaining European Union (EU-27) talked about the rise of hostility driven populist sentiments in member states. The members also decided to hold another meeting in Bratislava in September.

Mr. Boris Johnson ruled out his bid to be the next British PM, while British Home Secretary Ms. Theresa May and Justice Secretary Mr. Michael Gove announced their bids for the prime-ministership.

S&P downgraded its long term credit rating on European Union to AA from AA+. However, it raised its outlook to “stable” from “negative” after the Brexit vote.

Government of India accepts 7th Pay Commission's recommendations::

Central staff, pensioners to get more

In what can be termed a bonanza for Central government employees and pensioners, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Wednesday said the government has accepted the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission.

The government would set up various expert groups to decide on the allowances.

Earlier in the day, the Union Cabinet approved the pay panel's recommendations with minor changes, a top official source told The Hindu.

The Finance Ministry, which had recommended a 23.55 per cent overall hike in the salaries and pensions of over 1 crore Central government employees and pensioners, in line with the Commission’s recommendations, had fine-tuned the details, the source said.

The pay panel had estimated that the implementation of its recommendations could result in an additional burden of Rs. 1.02 lakh crore to the exchequer.

In November 2015, within the overall hike of 23.55-per cent, the pay panel had recommended increases of 16% in pay and 24 per cent in pensions. Its estimate is that these recommendations could result in an additional outgo of nearly 0.65 per cent of the GDP.

The previous commission had recommended a 20-per cent hike, which the UPA government doubled while implementing it in 2008. The resultant hit to the exchequer of 0.77% of GDP doubled the Centre’s fiscal deficit to 6 per cent in 2008-09, the year it was implemented.

Hikes effective from January

The hikes are to be effective from January 1. The arrears are to be paid in one go. Of the total financial impact of Rs. 1.02 lakh crore, the panel proposed Rs. 73,650 crore be borne by the general budget and the remaining Rs. 24,450 crore by the railway budget. The government has approved the suggestion of raising the entry level pay to Rs. 18,000 a month from the current Rs.7,000. The recommendation of the maximum pay of the Cabinet Secretary of Rs. 2.5 lakh per month against the current Rs. 90,000 has also got the nod/.

A secretaries’ panel, headed Cabinet Secretary P K Sinha, had vetted the pay panel’s recommendations that will impact remunerations of nearly 50 lakh Central government employees and 58 lakh pensioners.

Behind a non-stop working PM is a non-stop working PMO. As efficient as their boss, as meticulous and sharp, yet as invisible as electricity, says the author who is an IAS officer himself.

It is not many times we have come across bureaucracy working at lightning speed, razor sharp precision and untiringly to solve problem, perhaps faster than any efficient private sector organisation. How did Modi manage to do this, ofcourse with an army of super efficient and super charged officers in his team right behind him.

Read about the inside workings of the PMO or as the author describes it here 'President' Modi's Office

SKILL Development for Poor & Backward Districts

The Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Shri Rajiv Pratap Rudy has said that there are over 18 Central Ministries/Departments including Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) involved in the implementation of more than 40 schemes for various skill development programmes including to the poor in the backward districts of the country. Further, Government launched Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) on 15th July, 2015 which is a reward based, demand driven scheme. The scheme aims to enable and mobilize a large number of Indian youth including the poor ones in the backward districts to take up skill training, become employable and earn their livelihood.

The scheme namely Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) could not run successfully in Left Wing Extremists (LWE) districts due to operational difficulties. To incentivize the training partners, the Ministry will follow Common Norms as per the Gazette Notification No. H-22011/2/2014-SDE-1 dt. 15.07.2015. In these Norms, a special incentive has been designed where over and above the Base Cost, an additional amount equal to 10% of the Base Cost should be permitted for Skill Development programmes conducted in districts affected by Left Wing Extremism (LWE) as identified by the M/o Home Affairs for the Integrated Action Plan.

The Prime Minister has launched the Start-up India movement on 16th January, 2016 in which a fund worth Rs.10,000 crore would be created for funding of Start-ups. Besides, Start- ups would be exempted from paying income tax on their profit for the first three years. Further, there will also be eighty percent exemption in patent fee for Start-ups business along with a self-certification based compliance system.

In a written reply in the Lok Sabha today the Minister said, apart from it, the Government has launched a new scheme called “Stand-up India” which was announced by Hon’ble Prime Minister on 5th April, 2016. The objective of the Stand-up India scheme is to facilitate bank loans from Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs) between Rs 10 lakh to 1 crore. Every branch of Nationalised Bank have to provide loan at least to one woman and one SC/ST candidates under the scheme. Since the Schemes came into force recently, no statistics regarding the schemes is available.

Make in India By GOI

Program

The Make in India program was launched by Prime Minister Modi in September 2014 as part of a wider set of nation-building initiatives. Devised to transform India into a global design and manufacturing hub, Make in India was a timely response to a critical situation: by 2013, the much-hyped emerging markets bubble had burst, and India’s growth rate had fallen to its lowest level in a decade. The promise of the BRICS nations had faded, and India was tagged as one of the so-called ‘Fragile Five’. Global investors debated whether the world’s largest democracy was a risk or an opportunity. India’s 1.2 billion citizens questioned whether India was too big to succeed or too big to fail. India was on the brink of severe economic failure.

Process

Make in India was launched by Prime Minister Modi against the backdrop of this crisis, and quickly became a rallying cry for India’s innumerable stakeholders and partners. It was a powerful, galvanising call to action to India’s citizens and business leaders, and an invitation to potential partners and investors around the world. But, Make in India is much more than an inspiring slogan. It represents a comprehensive and unprecedented overhaul of out-dated processes and policies. Most importantly, it represents a complete change of the Government’s mindset – a shift from issuing authority to business partner, in keeping with Prime Minister Modi’s tenet of ‘Minimum Government, Maximum Governance’.

Plan

To start a movement, you need a strategy that inspires, empowers and enables in equal measure. Make in India needed a different kind of campaign: instead of the typical statistics-laden newspaper advertisements, this exercise required messaging that was informative, well-packaged and most importantly, credible. It had to (a) inspire confidence in India’s capabilities amongst potential partners abroad, the Indian business community and citizens at large; (b) provide a framework for a vast amount of technical information on 25 industry sectors; and (c) reach out to a vast local and global audience via social media and constantly keep them updated about opportunities, reforms, etc.

The Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion (DIPP) worked with a group of highly specialised agencies to build brand new infrastructure, including a dedicated help desk and a mobile-first website that packed a wide array of information into a simple, sleek menu. Designed primarily for mobile screens, the site’s architecture ensured that exhaustive levels of detail are neatly tucked away so as not to overwhelm the user. 25 sector brochures were also developed: Contents included key facts and figures, policies and initiatives and sector-specific contact details, all of which was made available in print and on site.
