IPL 2026: CSK Vs SRH Could Be A Virtual Knockout Game, Says Aakash Chopra
Chennai Super Kings: With IPL 2026 entering its decisive phase to decide the remaining three playoffs spots, former India cricketer Aakash Chopra has described the Chennai Super KingsSunrisers Hyderabad contest as a virtual knockout game that could go a long way in determining playoff qualification. With defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru confirming their spot in the last four stage, if SRH manages to win Mondays clash at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, they will be assured of a playoffs berth. Such an outcome will simultaneously confirm Gujarat Titans place in the playoffs, thus leaving only one spot open. Its CSKs final home game of the season and, given how congested the table is, it will be a mustwin for both, especially the home team. They have had to manage a lot of injuries, but still, players like Anshul Kamboj, Urvil Patel and the two spinners have stood up for them and they will be key again if they have to stop SRHs bighitters. SRH would be ruing their last defeat and, given they still have a chance to finish on 18 points, they wouldnt want to leave it until the last game. In my opinion, this could be a virtual knockout game for both. Whoever wins this one will come significantly closer to qualifying. With the stakes this high and Chepauk expected to be buzzing, fans should be in for a treat, said Chopra on JioStar. Former India left-arm pacer Irfan Pathan, meanwhile, pointed to the highstakes nature of SRHs final fixture against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on May 22, a day after GT take on CSK in a high profile clash in Ahmedabad, as a must-watch due to the face-off between Travis Head-Abhishek Sharma opening pair and new-ball duo of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood. SRH would be ruing their last defeat and, given they still have a chance to finish on 18 points, they wouldnt want to leave it until the last game.

IPL 2026: Starc's Over Changed The Result, RR Were At Least 20 Runs Short, Admits Rathour
New Delhi: Rajasthan Royals lead assistant coach Vikram Rathour admitted that Mitchell Starc's devastating 15th over proved to be the turning point of their five-wicket defeat to Delhi Capitals, admitting that the visitors were at least 20 runs short of a competitive total and that poor decisions from the batters cost them the match. Rathour's candid assessment came after RR, well-placed at 160/2 at the start of the 15th over, lost four wickets in a heap to Starc, including three in an over and eventually posted only 193/8, with DC chasing it down with four balls to spare. I completely agree. We were at least 20 runs short, if not more. I thought we were 160 in 14 overs and lost two wickets. From there, we should have got 220. Again losing three wickets in one over doesn't help. So we could have been a bit smarter with our decisions we took in that over. So those are the learnings and in every game, you will make mistakes and the idea is to learn from those mistakes and I hope the next time we are in a similar situation, we get a better result. Again, that over definitely changed the result for us. Obviously he's a world class bowler. He's a world class bowler, but the kind of options we took in that over, were poor. We could have done differently and given ourselves a little more time to get through that over and take the game a little deeper, said Rathour in the post-match press conference. RR had come back to tournament action after another longish break and the result is a big setback to their hopes of entering the playoffs, as they find themselves deeper in the all-familiar second half wobble. Apart from RR batting order imploding in the last six overs and their misfields leaving head coach and director of cricket Kumar Sangakkara angry in the dugout, some of the decision making from RR was perplexing. The decision to draft in batting allrounder Dasun Shanaka as Impact Player raised eyebrows, as it meant they couldnt bring in a frontline bowler - Ravi Bishnoi or Sushant Mishra named in substitutes in the second innings. The absence of veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja further magnified the risk, considering their refurbished bowling line-up came on the back of being expensive in the last few games. After Shanaka made only ten with the bat, RR pressed him into service as the fifth bowler despite not bowling in his previous two outings. To his credit, Shanaka delivered three tidy overs and even took out DCs topscorer KL Rahul. But his limited use left RR short of flexibility in death overs bowling options. With three overs remaining, and Axar Patel and David Miller at the crease, RR turned to parttime offspinner Donovan Ferreira in the 18th over. The gamble backfired as both batters hit a maximum each in a 16run over and swung the momentum firmly in DCs favour. With those calls attracting considerable scrutiny, Rathour explained the chain of events that led to those decisions being taken in the game. The decisions that are made internally, are definitely taken by the captain. He is backing his gut and feeling at that stage. Our initial idea was to take 6 bowlers. But because we lost those wickets too quickly, we had to pick Dasun as an impact player. Otherwise, if the wickets hadn't fallen that much, we had an option to pick some bowler, especially a specialist bowler, maybe in the second innings. But unfortunately, we lost too many wickets in a cluster. So we had to take that option of picking Dasun. Again, the decisions that are made internally, are obviously taken by the captain. Obviously, there are some plans already, which are discussed outside with the analyst and the coach. But inside, at that point of the time, it's captains who take the call, he said. Rathour also acknowledged that captain Riyan Parag's hamstring niggle may have been a factor in him not opting to bowl. Parag had missed the clash against Gujarat Titans in Jaipur due to the same injury and needed treatment for it while making 51. Yes, of course (he could have bowled). But he is struggling again. Riyan is also having a niggle with his hamstring. So I am not sure how comfortable he was bowling. But it was an option, a chance he took, which didn't go our way, he said. On Jadejas absence, where Parag said load management resulted in him not playing Sundays game, Rathour said the team was being cautious with the all-rounder due to a knee niggle. He just had some niggle in his knee, I think. They are just trying to manage that. They felt that if we give him one more game break, it will be good for him. That was the reason he was rested. He is just dealing with some niggle. Before it all unravelled for RR, they were in control for the first 14 overs and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi treated fans to well-timed and powerful boundaries in his 21-ball 46, before falling to a slower delivery from Madhav Tiwari. With him struggling against slower deliveries and being dismissed off it before, Rathour denied on it being a chink in the teenaged openers armour. See, nobody is perfect in this world. Everybody will have some weakness here and there. I don't think slow ball is a weakness with Vaibhav. I will want bowlers to try that. On a wicket like this, where the ball is gripping a bit, change of pace is good against anybody. It's not only Vaibhav - I think he's a special player and enough has been said about his ability and how good he is. So, again, he's provided us a really good start, looking at the surface again. So, I just hope he converts one inning and goes deeper. The way he's batting, the way he prepares, I'm sure that's not too far off. We'll see one of those innings which he'll really convert and play a big knock. But otherwise, we are pretty happy with the way he's batting and we want him to bat that way.Different players will bat differently. Anybody can succeed. You need to identify and know your strengths. If you back your strengths and play to your strengths, you can score runs. Dhruv need not bat like Vaibhav and Vaibhav shouldn't look to bat like Dhruv. They have their own strengths. They have their own ways of scoring runs. If they keep backing that and keep believing in their ability, they can succeed easily. You have seen that happening. Somebody like Virat, who is still extremely successful, even in this format. I wouldn't call him an out-and-out power-hitting player. That tells you that there is scope for everybody to succeed, provided you have belief in your abilities. If you can commit to whatever options you take while you are batting and back yourself, he elaborated. Despite the defeat leaving sixth-placed RR in a tight spot in the race to playoffs, Rathour insisted the side still has full belief in their ability to qualify for the last four stage, though a lot will also depend on them taking better calls tactically. Somebody like Virat, who is still extremely successful, even in this format. I wouldn't call him an out-and-out power-hitting player.

Indian Premier League: Delhi Capitals won the toss and elected to bowl first against Rajasthan Royals in match 62 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Sunday. Both DC and RR need wins, starting from Sundays clash, to keep their slim hopes of entering the playoffs alive. After winning the toss in their final home game of IPL 2026, DC skipper Axar Patel said that bowling all-rounder Tripurana Vijay makes his debut and replaces Auqib Nabi. When you win, you feel good. The atmosphere has been good even during the losses. I'm not thinking about conditions as I've gotten it wrong. We will try to bat and bowl well, no matter how the wicket behaves. You have to keep things on the field there and not carry it off the field, he said. RR captain Riyan Parag, fit again to lead the side after missing their previous clash against the Gujarat Titans due to a hamstring injury, said wicketkeeper-batter Ravi Singh makes his debut at the expense of Ravindra Jadeja, whos out due to load management, while Adam Milne also finds a place. Happy to be back first. I was pretty unsure about the wicket as well. It looks like its dry, but then weve seen the past scores and results here; chasing has been better, though it also tends to slow down a bit later on. So I was a little confused, but happy to bowl first because of that. Weve had some ups and downs in the last few games. I think we havent defended totals very well. But today gives us another opportunity to do that and hopefully get it right. So weve gone with an extra seamer today, and hopefully we can defend the total better. Almost there (on figuring the best combination). Weve had a few injuries here and there. I had to step out as well, so that hasnt helped either, he said.

IPL 2026: 'GT Still Have The Ball In Their Court For Top Two Finish,' Says Chawla After KKR Loss
Indian Premier League: Former Indian cricketer Piyush Chawla believes that 2022 champions Gujarat Titans (GT) can still qualify for the Indian Premier League (IPL) playoffs by remaining in the top two, as they have their fate in their hands despite suffering a 29-run loss against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Saturday. After being asked to bat, KKR set a huge total of 247/2 in 20 overs thanks to the brilliant knock by Finn Allen, who scored 93 runs in 35 balls, and Angkrish Raghuvanshi also scored 82 runs off just 44 balls. In reply, despite the 85-run innings from captain Shubman Gill, the visitors failed to cross the line and scored just 218 runs. With this loss, GT still sits in the second spot in the points table with 16 points in 13 matches. Chawla feels that Gujarat will be eager to finish in the top two by winning their next match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) rather than depending on other teams for favourable results or net run rate. Gujarat Titans will be worried because they would want to finish in the top two. They still have the ball in their court. They have a game against CSK left. If they win that one, they will definitely finish in the top two. But if not, then net run rate and all those things will come into the picture, Chawla told Jio Hotstar. You want to be safe because you don't want to be dependent on others, especially at this stage of the tournament. The things that are in your control, you just want to make sure you do them really well, he added. According to Chawla, chasing a mammoth total like 248 was always going to be challenging for GT as they don't have that much firepower at the top. You want to be safe because you don't want to be dependent on others, especially at this stage of the tournament.

IPL 2026: Piyush Chawla Calls Narine 'best In The Business' After Masterclass Vs GT
Kolkata Knight Riders: Former Indian cricketer Piyush Chawla has heaped praise on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) legend Sunil Narine, calling him 'the best in the business' after his magnificent spell against Gujarat Titans(GT) helped the team register a 29-run win at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Saturday. In a match where 465 runs were scored across 40 overs, Narine stood out with a miserly spell of 2/29 in his four overs, helping KKR defend a massive 247/2 and keep their playoff hopes alive. KKR rode on explosive batting performances from Finn Allen (93), Angkrish Raghuvanshi (82 not out), and Cameron Green (52 not out) to post a daunting total. In reply, GT were well in the chase thanks to Shubman Gills commanding 85 and Jos Buttlers 57 before Narine turned the game with key breakthroughs. Chawla said Narines ability to maintain control in a high-scoring era makes him one of the most special bowlers in T20 cricket. Sunil Narine is one of the best in the business, no doubt. Cricket has evolved, and runs are flowing everywhere. Many things have changed in modern-day cricket, but one thing hasn't: his economy rate, Chawla told Jio Hotstar. No matter the surface or the venue, 450 runs were scored in this game, but Narine's economy rate stood out as the difference. He bowled the tough overs and kept it tight. He also picked up two wickets, he added. Chawla particularly highlighted Narines tactical brilliance in dismissing Gill, who looked set for a century while leading GTs chase. When Shubman Gill was going strong and looked set for a hundred, Narine changed his angle. We rarely see him go around the wicket to a right-hander. But he did it to cramp Gill for room, he said.

New Delhi, May 17: The field operations for the Houselisting and Housing Census (HLO) under Phase I of Census 2027 have commenced in five States and Union Territories namely Rajasthan, Meghalaya, Maharashtra, Jharkhand and Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) area in Delhi NCT as part of the ongoing nationwide Census exercise. Meanwhile, House-to-House Houselisting Operations by Enumerators are presently in progress in Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Bihar, Chandigarh, Chhattisgarh, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Telangana and Uttarakhand. The Self-Enumeration (SE) facility has commenced today in Gujarat, Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh and Puducherry and will remain available till May 31, 2026. The corresponding Houselisting and Housing Census field operations in these States/UTs will be conducted from June 1 to June 30, 2026. The Self-Enumeration facility is also currently underway in Uttar Pradesh and will continue till May 21, 2026, following which the HLO field operations will be conducted from May 22 to June 20, 2026. Earlier, the Houselisting and Housing Census operations conducted from April 16 to May 15, 2026 were completed in the States/UTs of Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep, Mizoram, Odisha and Sikkim, along with the NDMC area and Delhi Cantonment Board area in the National Capital Territory of Delhi. The Self-Enumeration (SE) facility, introduced for the first time in Census operations, continues to receive an encouraging response from the public. More than 1.44 crore households have already completed Self-Enumeration through the official portal (se.census.gov.in) across 25 States/UTs. The initiative marks a significant step towards digitisation of Census operations and offers residents a convenient and secure platform to participate in the Census process. Residents who have completed Self-Enumeration are requested to keep their generated Self-Enumeration ID (SE ID) ready and share the same with the Enumerator during the field visit to complete the HLO process. Households that have not opted for Self-Enumeration will be covered during the physical house-to-house visit by Enumerators. Census 2027 is being conducted using digital tools for the first time while retaining the traditional door-to-door enumeration process to ensure comprehensive and accurate coverage. During field visits, Enumerators are collecting data digitally through a dedicated mobile application. During this phase, information relating to housing conditions, household details, amenities available and assets possessed by households is being collected through a structured questionnaire comprising 33 notified questions. The data collected forms an important basis for evidence-based planning and implementation of welfare and development programmes. All data collected under the Census Act, 1948, remains strictly confidential and is used solely for statistical purposes and development planning. Residents in the notified States/UTs are requested to extend full cooperation to Enumerators during the Houselisting Operations and actively participate in this important national exercise.
It Is Simple Math, Says Patel On GT's Qualification Scenario After KKR Loss
Kolkata Knight Riders: Gujarat Titans(GT) batting coach Parthiv Patel admitted that there is no panic in the dressing room despite the 29-run loss against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Eden Gardens on Saturday, as the team is looking to keep things simple and qualify for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 playoffs by winning their last group stage match. According to Parthiv, GT is not dependent on other teams' results, and it's a big relief as they can secure the qualification mark on their own by winning the match against five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK), to be played at their home ground, Narendra Modi Stadium, in Ahmedabad on May 21.

IPL 2026: Cameron Green Says KKR Have Finally Found The Right Balance After Crucial Win Over GT
Kolkata Knight Riders: Cameron Green believes Kolkata Knight Riders have finally found the right balance in their playing XI and batting order, with the Australian all-rounder insisting the defending champions are still firmly in the hunt for an IPL 2026 playoff spot after their commanding 29-run victory over Gujarat Titans at Eden Gardens. Green played a pivotal role in KKRs massive total of 247/2, hammering an unbeaten 52 off 28 deliveries while stitching together a match-defining 108-run partnership with Angkrish Raghuvanshi. Reflecting on KKRs campaign so far, Green admitted the side took time to settle on the ideal combination but praised the calmness within the dressing room despite inconsistent results earlier in the season. The coaching staff have been awesome. There was no panic behind closed doors. I think it just took us a while, maybe a bit too long, to figure out the right roles and get the right people in the right positions. I like to think I can bat in a few positions, but its about what is best for the team. Ajinkya Rahane has been awesome at the top for us, and the same goes for Angkrish, our youngster at number three. So, its just about where I fit into the team, and number four seems to be it. Weve found that now, so yeah, were giving ourselves a little chance here, Green told JioStar. Greens innings provided the finishing flourish after Finn Allens explosive 93 had dismantled the Titans bowling attack early in the evening. By the time Green arrived at the crease, KKR already had momentum on their side, and the Australian ensured there was no let-up in intensity. One of the standout moments of his knock came against Rashid Khan, widely regarded as one of the most dangerous T20 bowlers in world cricket. Green once again managed to attack the Afghanistan leg-spinner successfully, continuing a trend that has worked in his favour in previous encounters as well. However, the Australian dismissed suggestions that he has found a special formula against Rashid, instead crediting the platform laid by the top order.

IPL 2026: Dropped Catches Cost Us The Game, Says Parthiv Patel After GT Defeat
Kolkata Knight Riders: Parthiv Patel admitted that dropped catches hurt Gujarat Titans after their five-match winning streak ended in a high-scoring loss to Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League 2026 on Saturday. KKR set a huge total of 247/2 at Eden Gardens before limiting Gujarat to 218/4, winning by 29 runs and keeping their playoff hopes alive. After the match, Gujarat Titans assistant coach Patel pointed out fielding mistakes as the key factor in the game. I think catching is something that made a huge difference, Patel said after the match. When you are playing high-scoring games against strong batters, you don't get many chances. When you get that chance, you have to make sure you catch the balls. I thought that was the difference. GT missed important opportunities against all three KKR batters who made significant contributions. Finn Allen was dropped by Mohammed Siraj at long-on when he had scored 33. The explosive opener took full advantage, blasting 93 off just 35 balls, including 10 sixes. Cameron Green got another chance on 23 when Arshad Khan dropped a catch and accidentally knocked the ball over the boundary for four. Green finished with an unbeaten 52 off 28 balls. Angkrish Raghuvanshi also benefited from a missed catch on 53 when Washington Sundar dropped a chance. The young batter ended his innings not out on 82. Once KKR passed the 240-run mark, Gujarat's chase became more challenging, even with a strong effort from their batting lineup. However, Patel especially praised Allen for how he took on Gujarats strong pace attack led by Siraj and Kagiso Rabada. He played a very good innings, there is no doubt about it, Patel said.

Rayudu Hails Narine As 'greatest IPL Player' Of All Time
Indian Premier League: Ambati Rayudu believes Sunil Narine is the best player in the history of the Indian Premier League. The veteran all-rounder once again delivered a match-winning performance for Kolkata Knight Riders. Narine had figures of 2/29 in KKRs 29-run victory over Gujarat Titans in IPL 2026 on Saturday, earning the Player of the Match award in his 200th IPL appearance. Speaking on ESPNcricinfos TimeOut show after the game, Rayudu said Narine's consistency and ability to impact matches with both bat and ball make him the greatest player the tournament has ever seen. Best IPL player, according to me, of all time, Rayudu said. Hes a proper match-winner with the ball and with the bat. There have been great players in the IPL, but this guy always stands out. He's at the top of the list for me. Narine's long career and impact continue to set him apart in the league. He is currently the third-highest wicket-taker in IPL history with 205 wickets, behind only Yuzvendra Chahal and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. A one-franchise player since joining KKR in 2012, Narine has played a key role in all three of Kolkatas IPL title wins. He took 24 wickets at an economy of 5.47 during KKRs title-winning season in 2012, followed that with 21 wickets in 2014, and added 17 wickets during their championship run in 2024. Remarkably, Narine has never given up more than eight runs per over in a single IPL season. He remains one of the leagues most economical bowlers, even in an era dominated by batters. Rayudu also explained why Narine is such a tough bowler to face compared to other leading T20 spinners. I think Rashid Khan has a unique problem, especially on pitches like that, because everything is a topspinner, Rayudu said.

Finn Allen admits IPL pressure made him a shell of a human before stunning KKR comeback
Finn Allen admitted he had become a shell of a human after putting too much pressure on himself during a tough start to the Indian Premier League 2026 season. However, stepping away briefly and rediscovering his love for batting has helped turn his fortunes around for Kolkata Knight Riders. On Saturday, Allen delivered one of the best innings of the tournament. He scored 93 runs off just 35 balls, hitting four boundaries and 10 sixes. This effort propelled Kolkata Knight Riders to a huge total of 247 against Gujarat Titans. Gujarat finished with 218/4, leading to a vital 29-run victory that kept KKR's playoff hopes alive. The explosive New Zealand opener had a rough start to the season, managing only 81 runs in his first five matches before being dropped for three games. However, his return to the lineup earlier this month marked a significant turnaround, starting with an unbeaten century off 47 balls. After Saturdays win in Kolkata, Allen opened up about the mental struggle he faced during his slump. To be honest, at the start of the tournament, I was putting far too much pressure on myself to perform, and I was probably a shell of a human for a bit there. It was all self-inflicted, Allen told reporters. I love playing cricket, I love batting, and I wasnt enjoying it as much as I should have at the time because I was putting too much pressure on myself. So having those few games off really helped me. Allen mentioned that simplifying his approach and focusing on enjoyment rather than expectations made a big difference in his batting during the shortest format. I think what I really worked on was being relaxed and enjoying myself. If I watch the ball harder, I am in a better position and Im a better cricketer for it, Allen said.

Warning signs India cant ignore
The Gulf crisis has not triggered Indias economic distressit has merely exposed and intensified a slowdown long in the making. Prime Minister Narendra Modis warnings on cutting gold purchases, fuel use, edible oil imports, and even restraining domestic and foreign travel are not isolated cautionary steps; they are signs of deeper strain. The economys troubles did not begin with COVID-19 pandemic. They stem from years of ignored structural weaknesses, inherited distortions left uncorrected, and policy choices that may have worsened the burden. Even solutions like work-from-home are being presented as relief, though they often raise hidden operational costs and strain telecom systems. Beneath optimistic growth projections lies a widening gap between official claims and economic realitiesone that can no longer be easily overlooked. Large constructions have finally been flagged by NITI Ayog as drain on resources. And world gold prices started soaring with the RBI gold buying spree for reducing reliance on the U.S. dollar. The concern is not that Indias economy is collapsing, but that its foundations may be weaker than official figures suggest. A 2026 study by the Peterson Institute for International Economics, authored by Abhishek Anand, Josh Felman, and Arvind Subramanian, argues that India may have overstated annual GDP growth by up to two percentage points between 2012 and 2023. Instead of the official 6 percent, actual growth may have been closer to 44.5 percent. The study estimates real GDP could be overstated by 22 percent and real consumption by 31 percent, suggesting living standards are significantly lower than believedpotentially reshaping the narrative of Indias economic rise. The International Monetary Fund issued a most unusual rebuttal on April 24, 2024. Its spokeswoman Julie Kozack told reporters in Washington that executive director Krishnamurthy Subramanians growth forecast of 8 percent for India did not represent the views of the IMF, which still maintained a projection of 6.5 percent for the country. Inflation is being blamed on the Gulf situation. Its partially correct. Since 2015, petroleum prices, key to transport, many chemicals and raw materials, were kept at a high even when crude prices fell to around $ 40 a barrel, levying various taxes and cesses. The obvious reason stated was a petrol bond of the UPA regime. It was around Rs 3 lakh crore. But Rs 39 lakh crore extra was realised. Now the government is flush with Rs 36 lakh crore fund. It has caused severe overall inflation and hit purchasing power. The exaggerated highway toll rates and rising debt of the NHAI are worrisome as also adding to overall inflation. Indias economic weaknesses are increasingly visible in manufacturing, exports, and household finances. Despite the Make in India push, manufacturings share of GDP fell from 16.7 percent in 2013-14 to 15.9 percent in 2023-24, with weak job creation and continued dependence on imports. An overvalued rupee has weakened export competitiveness, especially for small and medium producers, while making imports cheaper. Equally alarming is the sharp erosion in household savings. Gross household savings fell from 23% of GDP in 2012-13 to 17% in 2018-19, while net financial savings dropped to a nearly 50-year low of 5.15.3% in FY23, down from 11.6% in FY21a sign that families are increasingly dipping into reserves and relying more on borrowing to cope with rising financial pressures. Major Indian PSUs are under pressure in May 2026 due to high oil prices, rising bond yields, and broader stock market volatility. Oil marketing companies like Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) are estimated to have lost nearly Rs 1 lakh crore since mid-March because of surging crude prices. PSU banks are also facing heavy mark-to-market losses as rising bond yields reduce the value of their large government bond holdings. Limited reforms in the Union Budget have further weakened sentiment. Long-standing structural problemsincluding high debt, outdated technology, and low efficiencyare adding to the pressure. Between 2017 and 2018, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) played a key role in resolving financial issues linked to Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation (GSPC). It acquired GSPCs 80% stake in the KG basin gas block for $1.2 billion (8,000 crore), widely seen as a bailout of the debt-hit state firm. The Centre also paid 8,392 crore on ONGCs behalf to settle a royalty dispute with Gujarat, while ONGC earlier received relief in a 1,000 crore VAT case. Together, these moves stabilised GSPC and reduced ONGCs liability burden. Bank loans are surmounting. The public sector banks (PSBs) played a major role in supporting post-COVID economic recovery by sharply expanding lending, especially for infrastructure and construction by giving loans of Rs 8.84 lakh crore. In the first two months of the 2020 lockdown, PSBs sanctioned Rs 5.66 lakh crore in loans across sectors. The Union Budget 2021-22 further boosted construction activity with Rs 3.3 lakh crore allocated to infrastructure-linked spending, much of it backed by bank credit. Under the Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme (ECLGS), PSBs had sanctioned Rs 76,044 crore by August 2020, providing critical support to MSMEs, including firms linked to construction and allied sectors. Highways Infrastructure Trust (HIT), an infrastructure investment trust backed by KKR, said it has raised Rs 8,250 crore in debt. The financing plan, structured as a rupee term loan with a tenure of up to 17 years, is backed by seven leading financial institutions, including SBI. The slow graduated recovery has thinned bank deposits and most are managing costs with manpower cuts. Blame Game Blaming previous governments is routine, but economic correction depends on the policies and judgment of successors. Indias current economic slide suggests that measures such as 2016 Indian banknote demonetisation, a steep GST, reduced welfare concessions, and reliance on food doles instead of jobs and skill-building may have worsened structural weaknesses. If Manmohan Singh failed for incentivising the industry with liberal loans to large houses hurting banks with severe Rs 50 lakh plus NPAs, his successor, Modi too committed the mistake of emptying bank coffers with long-term loans though technically not NPA, for less necessary large constructions and road and infra projects. Demonetisation, in particular, disrupted Indias informal cash economya vital buffer during past global criseshurting small traders and workers. The push toward digital payment also raised banking system costs, exposing policy contradictions and adding stress to already burdened banks. The road ahead needs policy revamp and a sharp economic vision away from Manmohanomics and globalisation for self-sustenance as also fast overall growth.
