The Memory Tax

India shipped fewer smartphones between April and June 2026 than in any June quarter for six years. Counterpoint Research put the decline at 10 per cent year on year. The figure that deserves more attention sits underneath it. Handsets priced below Rs 15,000, a band that accounts for roughly a third of Indias volumes, fell 45 per cent. That is not consumers losing interest in phones. Indian demand does not turn that quickly. Something changed upstream, and the cost travelled down until it reached the cheapest shelf in the shop. The global artificial intelligence buildout is outbidding handset makers for memory chips, and the resulting price rise has landed hardest on the entry level of Indias phone market. India built its digital state on the assumption that this tier would keep getting cheaper every year. That assumption has broken, and no part of the government appears to own the problem. How a server rack raises the price of a phone in Ranchi Memory is the most commodified component in a smartphone and also the least visible. DRAM handles what the phone is doing at any given moment. NAND flash stores what it keeps. Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron together account for close to 90 per cent of world DRAM output, and those suppliers now serve two very different customers. One builds AI data centres and pays a premium for high bandwidth memory. The other builds phones and competes on price. Capacity has moved toward the first. The price record is unambiguous. Counterpoint recorded DRAM rising more than 50 per cent year on year in the first quarter of 2026 and NAND flash by 90 per cent, at a point when memory already made up 30 to 40 per cent of a handsets bill of materials. Carl Pei of Nothing has said module costs could rise fivefold by year-end, leaving manufacturers to raise prices by around 30 per cent or cut specifications. Indian brands have no leverage here. The country fabricates no memory wafers. It buys at whatever the three suppliers charge, in dollars. The stack assumes a phone The damage is concentrated at the bottom. IDC recorded a 59 per cent year-on-year collapse in Indias sub-100 dollar segment in the first quarter of 2026, its market share falling from 18 per cent to 8 per cent. The forecast is blunter than the number. IDC expects that segment to become permanently uneconomical even after memory prices settle around mid-2027. This is where the second order problem starts. India spent fifteen years moving the machinery of the state onto the handset. UPI, Aadhaar authentication, direct benefit transfers, DigiLocker and the ABHA health record all presume a person holding a device capable of running an app over mobile data. A Rs 6,000 Android phone was the delivery mechanism for financial inclusion, and it got cheaper every year without anyone having to legislate it. That floor is now rising. Counterpoint expects financing to account for 42 per cent of Indian smartphone sales this year, up from 35 per cent in 2025. Access to the digital state is quietly turning into a credit product for the households it was meant to serve. The effect is not evenly distributed. It falls on rural buyers, first time users, women, and regions where the phone is the only practical interface with a government office. In Jammu and Kashmir, where connectivity is already interrupted by administrative order more often than anywhere else in the country, a broken handset that cannot be replaced closes the only door a household has to its own entitlements. The policy that has no owner On 2 August, Ashwini Vaishnaw said India now has 12 semiconductor units carrying about 20 billion dollars in investment, three of them already producing chips, and that Semicon 2.0 has been approved. The Expenditure Finance Committee cleared an outlay of Rs 1.25 lakh crore for the second phase, against Rs 76,000 crore for the first. Look at what it contains. The Tata Electronics plant at Dholera is the only genuine wafer fabrication facility among the approved projects, and it is targeted for 2028. Everything else is assembly, packaging and testing work, or compound semiconductor capacity. None of it is memory fabrication. India does have a memory facility. Microns 2.75 billion dollar plant at Sanand, inaugurated on 28 February this year, handles assembly, test, marking and packaging for DRAM and NAND. Packaging is not fabrication. The wafers arrive from Micron fabs abroad. The plant adds nothing to world supply and gives India no say in what a gigabyte costs. Now set that beside the other half of the same ministrys portfolio. The IndiaAI Mission subsidises GPU compute at roughly Rs 115 to Rs 150 per GPU-hour and has committed to scaling from around 34,000 GPUs to 100,000 by the end of 2026. Hyperscalers have announced more than 30 billion dollars of Indian data centre investment. MeitY is underwriting demand growth in precisely the component market that is pricing Indian households out of the device its own welfare rails depend on. Nobody in the system is required to hold both facts at once. The semiconductor mission answers for units approved. The IndiaAI Mission answers for compute made available. The price of a gigabyte of mobile memory, which now helps decide whether a family in Kupwara can reach a subsidy, belongs to nobodys brief. The case that this corrects itself There is a reasonable argument that the market fixes this without intervention. UPI 123Pay already lets feature phone users transact through voice prompts and missed calls without internet, and NPCI was pushing feature phone-inclusive rails as recently as February. Analysts expect memory supply to loosen around mid-2027 as new capacity arrives. The Union Budget removed import duties on several handset components. Each of those points is true, and none of them closes the gap. UPI 123Pay accounts for somewhere between 5 and 10 per cent of UPI users, and it was designed on the expectation that cheap Android phones would make it redundant, the reverse of what is now happening. The duty exemptions cover batteries, display assemblies and charging components, not memory, because there is no domestic memory industry to protect. A replacement cycle stretched by three years is an accounting detail only to people whose ration entitlement is not authenticated on that handset. Bottom Line Memory has stopped being an ordinary electronics input. It is now an input to financial inclusion, and Indian industrial policy does not classify it that way anywhere. Two moves would begin to correct that. Semicon 2.0 should carry an explicit memory line, even if the realistic target is legacy DRAM for the domestic mass market rather than the leading edge. And the duty schedule should treat memory bound for sub-Rs 15,000 handsets the way it already treats inputs the government has decided are strategic. Neither is a complete answer. Both would at least establish that someone in Delhi is watching the number. Which leaves the question the last two quarters have already put on the table. If the price of DRAM now decides how many Indians can reach a government service, who in the government is tracking it?

Aaruthran Prabhu Dominates Mini Under-10 Class; Kairav Roberson, Rehan Khan Rasheed, Rudra Gokulnath Win

PCA International Cricket Stadium: The Sher-e-Punjab T20 League was officially launched at the PCA International Cricket Stadium on Sunday, ushering in a new domestic T20 competition aimed at providing a platform for Punjab's emerging cricketers. Aaruthran (Kartkrew Motorsports), a gold medalist at the FIA-Asia Pacific Motorsports Championship in Sri Lanka last year, topped the official practice, Heat, Super Heat and the Finals race in his class to finish his campaign this weekend on a high. Equally impressive was Chennais Rehan Khan Rasheed (Momentum Motorsports) who dominated the Junior class, winning the Super Heat and the Finals after having been the quickest through the weekend that saw Rounds 3 and 4 being conducted. The only time Rehan looked vulnerable was when he trailed team-mate Adithya Pratap in the Final but he recovered well to move into the lead towards the latter part of the race to score a good win. In the Mini class, UK-based Rudra Gokulnath (NKRA with Momentum) pulled off a fine win in the Finals race, upstaging Super Heat winner and Round 3 hero Shiv Neel, the son of Indias first Formula One driver Narain Karthikeyan. Rudra displayed impressive pace to not only avenge his defeat in the Super Heat but also underline his talent. In the Senior class, Chennais Kairav Roberson (MSPORT) was unstoppable as he took the honours in the Super Heat and the Finals, outpacing his arch-rival Armaan Dhawan from Delhi (Leap Frog Racing). Undoubtedly, the competition in the Mini and Under-10 categories highlighted Sundays programme. Rudra Gokulnath and Aaruthran Prabhu provided thrilling wheel-to-wheel battles racing in the combined grid and quite fittingly, were rewarded for their fearless but fair performances. In the Super Heat, Aaruthran Prabhu displayed his ability to absorb pressure while winning a very close race.

In the Finals, Rudra Gokulnath played an impressive waiting game to pip leader Aaruthran Prabhu with a deft pass on the last lap of the 12-lap race for a notable victory. Aaruthran had done well to defend his position but left the door open on the last lap for Rudra to lunge into the lead.

Dr Jitendra Singh reviews status of Ujh Multipurpose Project in Jammu and Kashmir

New Delhi, Aug 02: Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science and Technology; Earth Sciences and Minister of State for PMO, Department of Atomic Energy, Department of Space, Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, Dr. Jitendra Singh reviewed the status and phased implementation roadmap of the Ujh Multipurpose Project (MPP) in Kathua district of Jammu & Kashmir. The Minister held a detailed meeting with the officials of WAPCOS Ltd., a Government of India undertaking under the Ministry of Jal Shakti, which has been entrusted with the implementation of the project. Dr Jitendra Singh emphasised the need for expeditious implementation so that the benefits of this strategically important project reach the people at the earliest. He advised WAPCOS to explore innovative solutions and implementation strategies while maintaining the highest standards of quality, safety and efficiency. The Minister was informed that the project is being taken up in a phased manner. Work will commence while acquisition of the remaining land is pursued simultaneously, without waiting for completion of the entire land acquisition process. The implementing agency is also working out the project site and related requirements. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Dr Jitendra Singh said, long-pending national projects are being taken forward with renewed urgency. He noted that the Ujh Multipurpose Project, conceived nearly a century ago, had remained in limbo for decades, while the Shahpurkandi project had remained pending for about four decades. The delay in implementation of these projects, he said, resulted in the waters of the Ravi River and its tributaries continuing to flow into Pakistan. The Minister said that even when the Indus Waters Treaty was in force, Ravi, Satluj and Beas were Indias three rivers under the Treaty, with Ravi being the major river among them. He noted that the Treaty is now in abeyance. Dr Jitendra Singh said that the revival of the Shahpurkandi project in 2019, which is now almost complete, and the revival of the Ujh Multipurpose Project in 2026 reflect the Governments resolve under Prime Minister Narendra Modi to realise long-delayed projects, optimise the use of Indias water resources and deliver tangible benefits to the people. The Ujh Multipurpose Project, located on the Ujh River, a main tributary of the Ravi River, is designed to generate around 186 MW to 212 MW of electricity. It is expected to provide irrigation to nearly 90,000 hectares of agricultural land in Kathua and Samba districts of Jammu & Kashmir and Pathankot and Gurdaspur districts of Punjab. The project will also supply drinking water to Kathua district and provide industrial water availability. The project is expected to strengthen agricultural productivity, improve water security, create new opportunities for economic development and contribute to the overall socio-economic progress of the Union Territory. It also has an important security and border-management dimension and is backed by the Ministry of Home Affairs to restrict unregulated water flows and plug vulnerable cross-border infiltration routes along the riverbed. Dr Jitendra Singh reviewed the implementation milestones in detail and stressed the need for close coordination among all stakeholders and effective monitoring for timely execution. He assured WAPCOS of the Governments full support and cooperation for the successful implementation and timely completion of the prestigious project.

Drugs can give you brief high but make your entire life low: PM Modi to youth

New Delhi, Aug 2: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday asked the country's youth to take a pledge against substance abuse, saying drugs can give them a high for some time, but would make their entire career and personal life low. Launching the 'Nasha Mukt Yuva for Viksit Bharat Sankalp Abhiyan', Modi said the country's youth must be mentally and physically fit, for which it is necessary for them to stay away from all kinds of substance abuse. He also said that enemy countries use the supply of drugs as part of their terror plans because they know that youth are the future of our country. Drugs can give you a high for some time, but it makes your entire career and personal life low, he said. Questioning the taboo around drug addicts, Modi said those who come out of drug addiction are fighters and should be honoured by society. Society should respect them, embrace them and give them a second chance, he said. The prime minister launched the campaign virtually in the presence of a large number of youth, who described themselves as representatives of Gen-Z, days after large-scale protests by students demanding reforms in the public examination system rocked Delhi and other parts of the country. Our culture teaches us that one can get rid of substance abuse with the support of society, yoga and meditation, Modi said. The Nasha Mukt Yuva campaign is a resolve for the individual, family, society and, most importantly, the nation, and the name of the initiative itself reflected its objective, the prime minister said. When the country has set the goal of building a developed India, it is essential that the youth stay away from harmful addictions to remain physically and mentally healthy and full of self-confidence, Modi said. This is the objective of this campaign, he added, urging everyone to take a pledge to ensure that young people understand the dangers of drug addiction and remain aware and vigilant in every possible way. From today, the Nasha Mukt Yuva Abhiyan is being launched across the country. When this becomes a collective campaign, even those who are unable to do something on their own will receive new energy. The resolve taken today will move forward in the same manner for the next 100 weeks. Every Sunday, activities related to art, culture, sports, meditation, spirituality and service will be organised. The message of de-addiction will reach new people, Modi said. The coming 100 Sundays will mark 100 strong steps towards a drug-free India, he added. The prime minister also said that addiction not only harms the body, but also takes away a mother's smile, shatters a father's dreams, weakens a sister's hope, and takes away the respect of a younger brother. Family members live with this pain every day, watching their children gradually lose themselves before their eyes, he said. Modi also said the government stands firmly with the youth in this campaign against drugs. Strict action is being taken against drug traffickers across the country. The arrests have gone up several times as compared to before, and drugs worth thousands of crores of rupees have been seized. This shows how strongly our government is acting against drugs, the prime minister said. He also urged families not to hide their childrens addiction out of concern for social reputation, and instead communicate openly with them and seek expert and medical help to help them overcome substance abuse. The 'Nasha Mukt Yuva for Viksit Bharat Sankalp Abhiyan' aims to inspire youth to stay away from substance abuse and encourages them to become ambassadors of positive social change in their communities. The launch marked the beginning of a 100-week nationwide 'Jan Bhagidari' campaign, under which activities will be organised every Sunday across the country to promote awareness and encourage public participation in building a drug-free society. The activities will include sports events, walkathons, meditation sessions, cultural programmes, awareness campaigns, nukkad nataks, discussion forums, art competitions and community engagement programmes. The Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan was launched in 2020 in line with the prime ministers vision of creating a Nasha Mukt Bharat, Union Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs, Mansukh Mandaviya, said at the launch.

Pakistan made every effort to dismantle goodwill under Indus Water Treaty: Kwatra

Washington, Aug 2: The Indus Water Treaty was signed in the spirit of goodwill and friendship, and Pakistan spent half a century dismantling it, Indias envoy to the US Vinay Mohan Kwatra said. In an article published in Newsweek magazine, Kwatra said Indias decision to keep the Indus Water Treaty (IWT) in abeyance merely acknowledged what Pakistans conduct had already destroyed. Kwatra's article came days after Pakistan hosted a conference recently to protest Indias decision to hold the IWT in abeyance on April 23 last year, a day after Pakistan-trained terrorists killed 26 people, most of them tourists, at Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir. It is worth remembering that the treaty's preamble declares it was concluded in a spirit of goodwill and friendship. Pakistan spent half a century dismantling that goodwill and friendship. The abeyance merely acknowledges what Pakistan's conduct had already destroyed, the envoy said. The IWT, signed by India and Pakistan in 1960, gave New Delhi control over three of the six Indus basin rivers that carry roughly 20 per cent of the basins water, while Islamabad got rights to rivers that carry roughly 80 per cent. That asymmetry stifled development for decades in Indian regions that could have benefited from better water rights. India honoured the treaty anyway, Kwatra said. He said Pakistan responded by launching wars against India in 1965, 1971 and in 1999; and through decades of persistent hostility and cross-border terrorism, including an attack on Indias Parliament in 2001, Mumbai terror carnage in 2008, Uri and Pathankot attacks in 2016, the Pulwama attack in 2019 and the Pahalgam attack in 2025. Kwatra said if Pakistan sincerely wants Indias cooperation on bilateral issues, it must first dismantle the terror infrastructure it has built over the years. Obstruction and bureaucratic delays have been Pakistans principal responses to any India-initiated projects under the treaty, he said. Pakistan also consistently blocked India's initiatives to renegotiate the treaty in light of six decades of technological change, which would have let India develop its hydropower potential, he said. Bit by bit, Pakistan eroded India's faith that it could exercise its rights under the treaty, or hope for a better one suited to today's realities, Kwatra said. The envoy said those advocating talks between India and Pakistan have not taken note of the history of these initiatives taken in the past or they must believe that doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is not insanity. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has clearly voiced Indias stand today: Terror and talks cannot go together... Terror and trade cannot go together... Water and blood cannot flow together', Kwatra said. He said the water scarcity Pakistan faces is a result of mismanagement by the government in Islamabad. ...the Government of Pakistan would do better to fix its dismal water productivity, than to stage conferences blaming India and issuing threats, Kwatra said, adding that the habit of pinning every domestic failure on India has grown old. The world should say so, unequivocally, he said.
