Goyal ji is doing good work with the steel sector too. But I wish these review meetings had more concrete timelines. Talk is cheap when it comes to actual implementation at the ground level. Hope NPC delivers this time.
As an expat living in India, I've seen how bureaucratic silos can slow things down. This move to boost inter-departmental ties is exactly what's needed. The National Productivity Council has a great chance to set a new benchmark for efficiency. Let's see!
The steel industry consultation is a good step, especially for 'Atmanirbhar Bharat'. We need to compete with China in steel exports. But I hope small steel players also get a voice, not just the big corporates. Balanced growth is key! 🇮🇳
Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical. We've seen many such review meetings before, but the ground reality for small businesses hasn't changed much. Hope this NPC initiative doesn't just remain a photo op. The devil is in the execution, yaar.
