12 measurements spanning 11 days, net -55. Dots are measurements; the straight line between them is drawn to join them, not to claim we know the path taken in between — snapshots are recorded only when a count changes, so gaps mean “no change observed”, never “interpolated”. The vertical axis spans 20,659–20,730 and does not start at zero.

20 posts held, back to 10 February 2026the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 26 pagesof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.

Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 15 June 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

✅Gs-3 : Mobilization of resources- Falling FDI 📌Low net FDI(Net FDI = FDI inflows minus FDI outflows) may mean three different things: A fall in net FDI should not be mechanically read as a collapse of investor confidence- It can mean : ⚜️1. Less foreign capital entering India. ⚜️2. More foreign capital exiting India. ⚜️3. More profits/dividends being repatriated. 📌India’s challenge is not merely to attract more F

✅Gs-3 : Mobilization of resources 🅾️The government has exempted FPIs from income tax on interest and capital gains from investments in G-Secs, effective from 1 April 2026. Similar exemption is provided to the Bank for International Settlements.

#Economy ✅Gs-3 : Inclusive growth- Inequality 📌India currently understands inequality through what people spend, not through what people actually earn, because measuring income is far harder than measuring consumption.India’s inequality is not just about poverty vs richness.As long as growth remains urban, skill-biased, and capital-driven, inequality will not just persist. It will structurally deepen. ⚜️Household

#Economy ✅Advance pricing agreements 🅾️The government is moving away from "Tax Terrorism" toward Tax Certainty-Instead of the tax department auditing a company after the fact and entering a decade-long legal battle, both parties agree on the "tax price" beforehand thereby providing a predictable tax environment for Multi-National Enterprises (MNEs). 🅾️Why?- Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is no longer just about "

✅Gs-3 : Economic growth- GDP Revision- Issues 📌Context : GDP revision- Click here 📌Issue : Normally, a new base year improves statistical accuracy but discrepancy ratio is rising again. ⚠️GDP formula G= C+I+G+(X-M)- increasing share of GDP is not directly traceable to measurable consumption, investment, or government spending.That raises questions about data reliability. 🔰Why ? ⚜️1. Informal economy= no data ⚜

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @economyhighlights. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.

Citation-graph rank

Citation-graph rank — 119,309 of 1,548,671entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.

Forward network

Republished by

Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.

Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.

Mentions

Named by 2 registered channels — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.

A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
