India, China marking a beginning, sense of caution would have to be built in: FM Nirmala Sitharaman
India and China are beginning to move towards more access and interactions that might help the economy, even as a sense of caution would have to be built in, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Saturday. She also underlined that maintaining growth is India's top priority along with the need to be a dynamic player in global institutions and redefining its role in the global South, and having a friendly and attractive FDI policy to be able to get more and more investments. When asked about the thaw in Indo-China relations at the launch of the book A World in Flux: India's Economic Priorities with the recent relaxation of visa norms, Sitharaman said not just India but China has also shown interest in these interactions and one will have to 'wait and see' how far it will go. Citing the restrictions earlier enlisted in Press Note 3 that had put curbs on investments from China, which also affected some of the projects including those in the renewable energy sector, Sitharaman said there was lull during the tariff war between the US and China. But, now it has been felt by both India and China for the 'need to have more access and a lot more interactions that could possibly open some windows'. 'And that's not just from our side, even the Chinese have been approaching through the MEA. So, you had External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar go. There is something, some kind of a beginning, as to how much it will take us far; how far it will go is something we will have to wait and see. But it might help the economy; however much, a sense of caution would have to be built in,' she said. Last week, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar travelled to China where he had underlined that 'differences should not become disputes' nor should 'competition ever become conflict' and that while India and China have made good progress in the past nine months towards the normalisation of bilateral relations, they should work to address de-escalation on the border. India had earlier put restrictions on investments from China through Press Note 3 in April 2020 to curb potential opportunistic takeovers of Indian companies during the Covid-19 pandemic by making a government approval mandatory for all investments from countries sharing a land border with India, including China. It continued to be in force in the wake of national security concerns due to border tensions after the Galwan clash. Enlisting India's priorities, Sitharaman said growth is the topmost priority. 'Growth is the topmost priority, and therefore, it will have an overlap with: do you create jobs, do you have that value addition,' she said. The Indian economy grew by 6.5 per cent in FY25, the slowest in four years as against 9.2 per cent growth in FY24. For the current financial year 2025-26, the Economic Survey has projected GDP growth at 6.3-6.8 per cent, while the RBI has lowered its growth forecast to 6.5 per cent from an earlier level of 6.7 per cent for FY26. The second objective for India would be to be relevant on the global stage, she said. 'Not just to be there in the leadership position but to be able to define how this move is going to take India forward along with the rest of the countries. We need to define the global institutions which are going to govern us for the next hundred years,' she said. Within India, Sitharaman said the government will have to focus on whether it is giving the economy the necessary support and attending to every aspiring section's aspirations, not just by giving money but by giving an overall ecosystem through which they can aspire to grow. Finding resources for meeting domestic economic aspirations within fiscal constraints is another priority for the government, she said. Another priority would be to make sure that the FDI policy is friendly and attractive to be able to get more and more investments happening in India. On the issue of trade pacts, Sitharaman said agreements are taking priority over multilateral trade even though she can't comment if it's good or bad as of now. 'On the bilateral trade front, we are moving forward and we have seen bilateral agreements being signed in the last four to five years with Australia, UAE, EFTA and the UK. Negotiations are progressing well with the United States as well as the European Union,' she said.

PGTI set to launch its own league to take on rebel IGPL
New Delhi: Indian golf has struggled to find new champions at the international stage for some years now. Now, there is some upheaval in the domestic set-up as well. Days after the launch of a rival Indian Golf Premier League (IGPL) Tour and league, the official Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI), which has downplayed the move, announced its scheduled for the rest of the season and a likely setting up of its own league. President of the Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI), Kapil Dev, speaks at a press conference on Saturday. (AFP) The modalities for the league are being worked out. 'It's not in response to IGPL. We have been thinking about it for a while,' PGTI CEO Amandeep Johl said on Saturday. The six-team IGPL is expected to debut next January and will feature 60 golfers in a home-and-away, mixed-team format. It announced the signing of veterans Shiv Kapur, SSP Chawrasia, and Gaurav Ghei as three of the skippers with Asian Tour regular Gaganjeet Bhullar revealed as an icon player. The bulk of IGPL's male players will be drawn from PGTI — women pros will come from WGAI while the amateurs come under the Indian Golf Union (IGU) umbrella. Both WGAI and IGU are with IGPL and their representatives accompanied IGPL management when they met union sports minister Mansukh Mandaviya recently. About 20-22 PGTI pros, it has been learned, have jumped the ship for a signing amount ranging between ₹10-20 lakh. Tour regulars Aman Raj and Sachin Baisoya are also tipped to join IGPL. PGTI president Kapil Dev on Saturday brushed aside concerns of an exodus. 'I have the responsibility of 350 golfers, not just 20. I have to see the bigger picture — for my team, my board, and everyone involved. Of course, I would have liked if they'd worked with us,' he said. PGTI and IGPL have been in touch for over a year but talks fell off in recent months. 'What's happened has happened. Let's not talk about what went wrong,' Johl said. Insiders claim the major point of contention was Bharat Golf Private Limited's — the company backing IGPL — opaque funding. 'We don't know where the money is coming from. The company was floated only last year. They are yet to file tax returns. They have the backing of a businessman from Hyderabad but there's no transparency,' a senior PGTI member said. Queries regarding IGPL funding, at their recent virtual press meet, were ignored. IGPL, it has been learned, intended to take over PGTI and rename it as IGPL Tour. The PGTI in lieu was to get ₹15 crore annually. 'We couldn't have let that happen. Also, we are dealing with DP World Tour and PGA Tour and any financial dealing that appears fishy will not work in our favour,' the official said. 'Most of the players they are in touch with are either past their prime or struggle to make the cut on PGTI.' With its no cut, three-day stroke play format, IGPL, like most leagues, envisions to 'revolutionise the sport and make it spectator friendly.' All contracted men and women pros will earn guaranteed prize money. Johl dismissed it. 'Golf is about being competitive. If you want to play at the highest level, you have to compete. If players start getting used to free money, you're never going to create world champions,' he said. 'We are going to play on the DP World Tour, the Olympics, the Asian Games—and we're going to win medals. But if you start giving freebies, players will stop working hard. Also, playing on PGTI gives you ranking points while there's no such incentive at IGPL,' he explained. Indian pros, meanwhile, have been struggling in international tours for a while now. For the past three years, thanks to PGTI's partnership with DP World Tour, the Order of Merit topper gets the full season European card. Every PGTI tournament offers a minimum prize purse of ₹1 crore, but the results are not coming. The last Indian man to win a European Tour event was Shubhankar Sharma in 2018, at the Maybank Championship in Kuala Lumpur. 'It's a concern, no doubt. Guys like Yuvraj Sandhu and Veer Ahlawat need to string together four good days, and once they do that, they can get on a roll,' Johl said. Shiv Kapur put it down to conditions and a lack of hunger. 'There are many factors. The conditions are starkly different overseas, but our players should show more hunger and desire to win,' he said.
