The FDI cap in digital media will create an equitable field The policy decision to cap foreign investment in digital news media at 26% is welcome for the simple reason that it levels the playing field between digital and print media companies (and one of the main considerations for any policy is that it should be equitable). In 2016, the Narendra Modi government allowed up to 49% foreign investment in television news channels, citing the need for higher investments in the space, and while this was a plausible argument, it was still not a fair one. As for digital news media companies, there was no limit on foreign investment (it could be 100%, as is in the case of some). But print, TV, and digital news media companies all share the same advertising pie, perform the same function, and the policies for them should be the same. It’s 26% for print and should be 26% for digital. That’s the easy part. Everything else follows. Sure, the ministry of information and broadcasting will now have to weigh in on what happens to digital news media companies where foreign stake already exceeds 26% -- fortunately. there are established precedents for this – and also figure out how to treat the digital extensions of TV companies (will the cap for these be 26% or 49%?), but this too, is easily done. There are more sticky issues, such as whether the restriction on print and TV news media having Indian citizens as editors will apply to digital news media, and on the applicability of the rules to foreign news websites that can be accessed in India. But the really tough part for the ministry is to define digital media companies. Would an aggregator app, such as Flipboard or DailyHunt qualify as a digital media company? What of Facebook and Google, which have a lot of news content, and also make money off this, but which continue to insist they are intermediaries? This intermediary protection has allowed such companies to present themselves as mere platforms, and escape not just the regulations news media companies have to respect, but, more importantly, the responsibilities that come with this. All print and TV media companies are responsible for the content they publish or broadcast; Facebook and Google consistently maintain that they aren’t. Indeed, because moderation or editing of the content on the platforms will mean they are no longer mere intermediaries, these companies typically avoid doing so. Yet, their business model is that of the classic media company – built largely (and sometimes solely) around advertising. When it frames the rules for digital news media, the I&B ministry would do well to address this issue. Contrary to what some would have us believe, the issue here isn’t about censorship or controlling the narrative.

Taking to social media platforms, Kriti has shared the poster with a few inspirational words in her caption. ‘Life is a journey filled with unexpected miracles. Get ready for a journey like never before, #Mimi !! This one’s gonna be so special.. #DineshVijan @laxman.utekar #PankajTripathi @ MaddockFilms @officialjiocinema', reads her post. Kriti Sanon is once again tying up with Luka Chuppi director Laxman Utekar in this women-centric drama film Mimi and the director-actor duo is all braced up to make it a huge success. This is going to be Kriti's fourth film with veteran Pankaj Tripathi while the duo has been basking in the glory of their previous back-to-back hits together. The theme of the film is unique as the concept of surrogacy is much speculated in reality and needs to be understood and accepted in society.

Narendra Modi’s $5 trillion GDP goal hits a hurdle: Debt at road builder Modi’s office proposed that NHAI be transformed into a road-asset management company, according to the letter obtained by Bloomberg, and the prime minister’s office asked NHAI to reply within a week. New Delhi India’s path to economic recovery faces another obstacle, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi asking the state road builder to stop constructing highways after its debt ballooned almost seven-fold over the past five years.“National Highways Authority of India totally logjammed with unplanned and excessive expansion of roads,” the prime minister’s office wrote
to NHAI in a letter dated Aug. 17. “NHAI mandated to pay several times the land cost; its construction costs also shooting up. Road infrastructure has become financially unviable.” Modi’s office proposed that NHAI be transformed into a roadasset management company, according to the letter obtained by Bloomberg, and the prime minister’s o ff i c e a s k e d N H A I t o
reply within a week. The decision is a reversal from Modi’s first term, when his administration was praised for its breakneck speed of highway construction that helped make India one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. However this came with the burden of escalating costs, leaving NHAI increasingly dependent on the government for financial support at a time
when Modi is looking to contain his budget deficit. Restricting road-building risks imperiling Modi’s target to make India a $5 trillion economy as roads are necessary for socio-economic development, said Vikash Kumar Sharda, a partner at Infranomics Consulting LLP, who previously consulted for PWC India. “Road is critical infrastructure, and putting breaks on it will not only result in a slowdown of highway construction but also of other sectors that are dependent on it.”There’s a strong co-relation between economic growth and investments in infrastructure, with roads accounting for about 3.1% of gross value added, Modi’s economic advisers said in a report this year. Data due Friday will probably show India’s gross domestic product expanded 5.7% in the quarter through June, the slowest pace in five years.
