Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Thank  You ,  Madam  Vanaja  Sarna :


{  Chairperson , CBITC  }






Thank you for your very enlightened decision of far reaching consequences



Your decision that imported Solar Panels will attract  ZERO  % import duty ( down from current duty of 10 % )



Your decision in-spite of  recommendation of The Directorate General of Safeguards Duty ( DGS ), to levy a “ Safeguard Duty “ of 70 % , in order to protect local solar panel / module manufacturers against imported Chinese Panels , which are 25 – 30 % cheaper than locally manufactured panels



Thank you for listening to my repeated request to do reduce the duty to  ZERO %  !



Today’s Economic Times , reports your decision at :













Following are my E Mails to Central Cabinet , urging  ZERO %  duty on imported Solar Panels :

My heart-felt thanks to Shri Arun Jaitleyji for supporting the “ Solar India Revolution “ being championed by Shri Piyush Goyalji and Shri R K Singhji



Now it is the turn of “ Solar Power Project Developers “ to respond, by dropping the quoted tariff from Rs 2.42 / kwh to Rs 2.0 / kwh  !



It is their turn to rise to the occasion !  I am sure , they will  !
