RSS economic wing bats for stronger rupee, contrary to Arvind Panagariya prescription
The Swadeshi Jagaran Manch (SJM), the economic wing of the RSS, advocates for a stronger Indian rupee, opposing the view of Arvind Panagariya who suggests allowing the rupee to depreciate beyond ₹100 per dollar. SJM co-convenor Ashwani Mahajan argues that further depreciation would harm India's global standing and that domestic industry needs protection from foreign competition. He emphasizes that structural issues, rather than inefficiency, are the root cause of challenges faced by Indian industries.
- ▪The SJM believes the rupee should be supported to avoid hitting ₹100 per dollar.
- ▪Arvind Panagariya suggests the RBI allow the rupee to slide beyond ₹100, viewing it as just a number.
- ▪Ashwani Mahajan argues that the rupee's depreciation would negatively impact India's global GDP ranking.
