Chief Economic Advisor Arvind Subramanian has said that Indian regulators are still at work in progress phase and have still not attained the kind of maturity for nuanced interventions and tend to take recourse to bans and restrictions. He also said that especially in the area of competition policy, they need to have nuanced analysis and nuanced interventions wherever problems arise.
However, Subramanian noted that capacity is still a problem. Therefore he said that building capacity in regulatory institutions is needed and these institutions need more talent to understand how to use data better and draw upon best practices internationally. He also stressed the need to find ways to expedite the process of taking and implementing decisions, adding that all regulatory institutions should be independent and free from political interference.
Arvind Subramanian further said that finally everything has to be adjudicated by the courts and the Supreme Court in particular. He also said that exit for businesses is also very difficult in the country as their bad loans have to be written off, and companies have to be failed for that. He also stated that civil aviation and public sector banks are few of the areas where exit is a problem and added that for this the bankruptcy law is going to be important.
