India's central bank to require impact analysis in regulation-making process
BENGALURU (Reuters) -India's central bank on Wednesday laid down a framework to standardise the process of making and amending rules, including conducting impact analyses of regulations and public consultations.
"The framework seeks to standardize the process of making regulations in a transparent and consultative manner," the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said in a statement published on its website.
The move follows a government report urging financial sector regulators, such as the RBI and the Securities and Exchange Board of India, to establish a formal process for assessing the impact of their regulations.
RBI said that the new process will include public consultations and, where feasible, impact analyses to assess the implications of proposed rules.
Draft regulations will be published on the RBI's website, and stakeholders will have at least 21 days to provide feedback, which will be considered before finalising any regulation
Any significant amendments to regulations will also go through the process of public consultation and impact analysis, the central bank said.

He helped Microsoft grow in India, and Seattle Orcas co-owner could do same for cricket in U.S.
Sanjay Parthasarathy. Sanjay Parthasarathy, a former Microsoft leader who is among the notable tech execs that have ownership stakes in Seattle's new professional cricket team, has been passionate about the sport since he played it as a kid in India. He may end up being known as a key figure in making the second-most popular sport in the world a hit in the U.S., too. As the Seattle Orcas open their third season of Major League Cricket play on Saturday, Parthasarathy joined a new episode of 'Desi Roots & Routes,' a podcast produced by Seattle University's Roundglass India Center, to talk about everything from his history with the sport and how to play it, to how he hopes it can catch on in America. The episode touches on parallels between the rise of Indian technology workers and immigration reform in the U.S., as well as Parthasarathy's role in helping Microsoft take off in India. Author and journalist Greg Shaw, who has written about cricket and the Orcas, said that when immigration opened up in the 1990s with the H-1B visa, and the personal computer was taking off, Silicon Valley and Seattle saw an influx of Indian developers and programmers at places like Microsoft and elsewhere. 'With them came their passion and love for cricket,' Shaw said on the podcast. Shaw is bullish that Parthasarathy can help spur cricket's popularity in the U.S. 'What Sanjay has always been so great at is, at Microsoft, taking complicated software development and making it accessible to the masses,' Shaw said. 'And I think he's going to do that with Seattle Orcas and with Major League Cricket.' Parthasarathy is part of the deep tech community backing that has helped get the Orcas off the ground. Other notable owners include: Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella; Madrona Venture Group Managing Director S. Soma Somasegar; Icertis co-founder and CEO Samir Bodas; and GreatPoint Ventures managing partner Ashok Krishnamurthi. Parthasarathy, who was previously profiled by GeekWire, spent 19 years at Microsoft. Five years after joining the company, he told his managers in 1995 that he wanted to go to India and help Microsoft scale. The idea was born out of his return to the country six years earlier, during a summer away from MIT, and his understanding that India was poised to make a mark in the IT industry. With no experience selling anything in his life, he said he was given the OK and was named Microsoft's regional director for South Asia. Two years later, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates made his first trip to India. 'His trip was bigger than Michael Jackson,' Parthasarathy said. 'We did 40 different meetings, and we coined the phrase 'India can be a software superpower.' It caught everybody's imagination in India. Three years after that was the Y2K challenge, which really was the beginning of the expansion of the Indian software industry. It already existed, we just happened to have lit a match at the right time.' The Seattle Orcas open the 2025 season on Saturday in a match against the Washington Freedom in Oakland, Calif., continuing alongside five other teams on the journey to grow the sport in the U.S. Learn more about watch parties in the Seattle area.

Apple's $4.4B India Play: The Secret iPhone Shift That's Reshaping U.S. Supply Chains
Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is ramping up its India productionand fast. From January through May 2025, Foxconn (FXCOF) shipped $4.4 billion worth of India-assembled iPhones to the U.S., already beating 2024's full-year total of $3.7 billion. Between March and May, a staggering 97% of Foxconn's $3.2 billion exports went straight to the U.S., compared to just 50% last year. The push isn't subtle: Apple has been flying out iPhone 13, 14, 16, and 16e models on chartered planes and pressing Indian officials to cut customs clearance at Chennai airport from 30 hours down to six. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Sign with MSFT. This shift comes as Apple looks to de-risk from China ahead of what could be another round of sweeping tariffs. Donald Trump has floated a 55% duty on Chinese goods and slammed Apple's expansion into India, reportedly telling CEO Tim Cook, We are not interested in you building in India. India, meanwhile, is trying to dodge a separate 26% reciprocal tariff on top of its standard 10%. With the stakes this high, Apple's move to reroute its supply chain through India could be less about costand more about survival. It's also about time. Apple still sells 60 million iPhones a year in the U.S., with about 80% made in China. Tata Electronics, Apple's smaller Indian partner, is also stepping up. Nearly 86% of its March and April shipments went to the U.S., up from 52% across 2024. Analysts at Counterpoint Research believe India-made iPhones could hit 2530% of Apple's global shipments this yearup from just 18% in 2024. But India's still an expensive bet. High import duties on components make local assembly far from cheap. Still, Apple appears willing to absorb the extra costs in exchange for agility. The numbers suggest this isn't a trial run. It's a full pivot. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
