India's Ethanol-blending push, RBI's response to inflation, & AI jobs | Bidishanomics

Description

Is India solving one problem by creating another through its ethanol-blending push? Does producing sugarcane-based ethanol come at the cost of depleting groundwater in states like Maharashtra? Can India realistically discover more oil and gas reserves to reduce its dependence on imported crude? Why has the RBI improved FCNR deposit rates for NRIs, and what happens if it refuses to raise interest rates despite rising inflation? And as AI reshapes the economy, are India's workforce and institutions prepared for the transition? In this edition of Bidishanomics, ThePrint Consulting Editor (Economics) Bidisha Bhattacharya answers viewers' questions on energy security, water stress, monetary policy, artificial intelligence, jobs, and more in conversation with Sabika Syed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exclusive content, special privileges & more – Subscribe to ThePrint for Special benefits: https://theprint.in/subscribe/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connect with ThePrint » Subscribe to ThePrint: https://theprint.in/subscribe/ » Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/3nCMpht » Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theprintindia » Tweet us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/theprintindia » Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theprintindia » Find us on LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/company/theprint » Subscribe to ThePrint on Telegram: https://t.me/ThePrintIndia » Find us on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2NMVlnB » Find us on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3pEOta8
