Elitist edicts to junk vehicles don't work
Peoples power has prevailed. The Delhi government has backed down and put on hold its senseless ban on old vehicles, wrongly called 'end-of-life' vehicles or ELFs. It was a draconian edict, if ever there was one. CCTV cameras aimed at number plates were calibrated to spot diesel cars over 10 years old and petrol cars over 15 years. These cars were then denied fuel. The order also allowed imposition of hefty fines and for impounding of vehicles. As the first cars began to be seized at petrol pumps, fear gripped the capital. The future of as many as 62 lakh vehicle owners was on the block. Mercedez Benz owners, who said they had bought their cars at Rs 30 lakh or more, were forced to sell them off at a pittance, often less than Rs 2 lakh. Uproar followed. The Delhi BJP government had underestimated the pushback. It was so strong, there was no option but to relent. The 1 July order of Delhi's Commission of Air Quality Management (CAQM) was meant to curb vehicular pollution in the national capital. CAQM also cited a string of court orders that had directed it to take action to reduce pollution in the city. Western norms In many ways this is an elitist response. It apes norms in more developed countries where routinely old vehicles are scrapped as people upgrade to better and more 'loaded' models of cars. However, income levels in these societies are far above those in India. Owning a car in Europe or the US is not a luxury, and roads and other infrastructure allows for efficient vehicular mobility. In India, individual vehicle ownership is a luxury, and perhaps spurred on because of poor public transport. There are approximately 50 million cars and 260 million two-wheelers on the road today. This translates to roughly 34 cars and 185 two-wheelers per 1,000 levels being low, renewal of vehicles is not an easy option, with most vehicle owners continuing to pay off loans for 5 to 7 years. To add to their woes, the life of a vehicle is considerably shortened, and car owners face huge maintenance bills, because of poor roads and infrastructure. It is therefore ironical the state, unable to provide good roads and an efficient public transport, is now calling on people to spend on buying new cars to reduce pollution!Or is all this at the behest of the car manufacturers who want to sell their products faster?

Sebi warning: After action against Jane Street, chairman says 'market manipulation won't be tolerated'
SEBI Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey Capital markets regulator Sebi stepped up surveillance for the stock market and warned that any kind of manipulation will not be tolerated. Sebi Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey made this clear on Saturday, a day after the regulator passed an interim order against US-based hedge fund Jane Street Group. Pandey said monitoring has been tightened both by Sebi and at the stock exchange level. When asked if similar behaviour had been seen with other foreign investors, he responded, "All what I can say that market manipulation is not going to be tolerated". Earlier, on Friday, the regulator barred Jane Street Group from participating in the Indian securities market and ordered it to return illegal gains worth Rs 4,843 crore. The group has been accused of manipulating stock indices through positions in the derivatives market. This may be the highest ever disgorgement ordered by Sebi. In its interim order, Sebi prohibited four entities: JSI Investments, JSI2 Investments Pvt Ltd, Jane Street Singapore Pte Ltd, and Jane Street Asia Trading, from trading until further notice, while investigations continue. Later in the day, at an event hosted by the Bombay Chartered Accountants Society, Pandey also stressed the importance of transparency and ethics in corporate governance. He told chartered accountants that disclosing related party transactions, managing conflicts of interest, and reporting key developments on time were "non-negotiable responsibilities". "You have a critical responsibility to ensure that corporate governance is not reduced to a checklist," he said, addressing the CAs. Pandey also said that excessive compliance requirements can become burdensome and may not always serve their intended purpose. "We are also mindful that too much of information, too much of compliance adds to a big compliance burden which may not actually serve the interest that we really intend to serve," he said. 'We would also like to see wherever we have the possibility of doing better results with less compliance, less information, less onerous responsibility and less micromanagement on the part of regulator,' he added, inviting suggestions for improvement.

Tata Steel to challenge state's Rs 1,920cr demand notice for mineral dispatch ‘shortfall'
Bhubaneswar: Tata Steel Limited has announced it would challenge the demand notice amounting to Rs 1,920 crore issued by the deputy director of mines for an alleged shortfall in mineral dispatch from the company's Sukinda chromite block in Jajpur district. The company, in a formal disclosure to the stock exchange, disagreed with the demand, citing a lack of justification and substantive basis for the claims. The demand notice, received on July 3, is linked to a revised assessment of mineral dispatch shortfalls for the fourth year, as per the mine development and production agreement. In the disclosure, the company said the alleged violation falls under Rule 12A of the Minerals (Other than Atomic and Hydrocarbon Energy Minerals) Concession Rules, 2016, which also led to the appropriation of performance security. Covering the period from July 23, 2023, to July 22, 2024, the notice claims the revision in the assessment is based on the average sale price declared by the Indian Bureau of Mines. The alleged shortfall in mineral dispatch resulted in a cumulative demand of Rs 1,920,72,53,760, which includes the shortfall quantity and appropriation of performance security. Tata Steel stated its intention to pursue suitable legal remedies. "The management believes that the state's demand lacks justification and substantive basis and accordingly the company will pursue suitable legal remedies before the appropriate judicial or quasi-judicial forums," it said.
