SumanSpeaks Independent Capital Markets & Geopolitical Intelligence POLITICAL ECONOMY | PART 1: THE TELECOM TEST The Sangh’s Costliest Blunder: Keeping Narendra Modi in the Chair After Demonetisation and a Trail of U-Turns Two private giants, one state-propped survivor, roughly ₹3.22 lakh crore in announced BSNL revival and support packages (spectrum allocation included), and ₹1.41 lakh crore of AGR dues still on the books: telecom shows what happens when one man’s brand becomes the party’s only policy. This is an argument against Narendra Modi, not against the BJP. SYNOPSIS India’s telecom market has narrowed from a messy but real plurality into two dominant private networks, one weak private survivor kept alive by government equity, and a public operator that has needed about ₹3.22 lakh crore in announced support packages and spectrum allocations, not all of it cash.

New Delhi: The government may consider hiking the prices of domestic coal, Sriprakash Jaiswal, the minister of state for coal (independent charge), said on Friday. The increase is due to the current economic conditions, where commodity prices are rising, and the impact of the Sixth Pay Commission on Coal India (CIL), the state-run miner.
The price rise will be the minimum possible, Jaiswal said.
"We will see what should be the extent to which the prices must be raised to keep the increment to the minimum," Jaiswal told reporters after taking charge of the ministry. "But I will have to speak with the Prime Minister for that (price hike)."
Earlier this week, CIL said it was planning to raise prices as the rise in employee costs following the wage hike was likely to hurt profitability. The company needs government approval for the move.
International prices are as much as 30-200% more than domestic prices.
Jaiswal said the ministry would work towards sorting out environmental clearances and land acquisition problems, which create hurdles in coal projects.
