The rate cut marks the Reserve Bank’s continued effort to support economic growth and moderating inflationary pressures. The rate cut aims to enhance liquidity, boost consumption and encourage credit flow to priority sectors and to encourage borrowing and spending to help fuel economic growth. The immediate beneficiaries of this rate cut are borrowers, as banks may pass on the benefits of lower interest rates on home and auto loans, and MSME credit could become more attractive, potentially stimulating demand. The effectiveness of the rate cut depend on how quickly banks transmit these benefits to consumers and how businesses respond to improved credit conditions.P Victor SelvarajPalayamkottai, TNStaggered disinvestmentThis refers to ‘No big-bang divestment: Govt strategy now is to do dribs and drabs ‘minority stake sale’ in CPSEs’ (December 8). The calibrated approach to divestment appears pragmatic, especially when markets are sensitive and valuation outcomes matter.Minority stake sales may reduce disruption and political pushback, but they also risk delaying deeper reforms and long-term efficiency gains that strategic disinvestment can bring. What remains essential is clarity of purpose: whether the objective is merely revenue mobilisation or improving the governance, competitiveness, and productivity of public sector enterprises.SM JeevaChennaiGCCs transformingApropos ‘GCCs’ key role in the age of Agentic AI’ (December 8), India’s Global Capability Centres (GCCs) have grown significantly in recent times, generating well over $100 billion annual revenue and employing over three million professionals. With the adoption of Agentic AI, GCCs are getting transformed from being back-office cost arbitrage centres to strategic innovation powerhouses and primary agents of digital transformation and also taking over a good part of the leadership role of the headquarters of the enterprises. In effect, GCCs are becoming nerve centres of the enterprises with Agentic AI being capable of even complicated scenario analysis and assisting humans in decision-making. GCCs are expected to scale up the adoption of the AI to the extent that it will completely manage execution leaving only strategic oversight to humans. India should create a conducive business environment to attract and promote GCCs as they could become one of the significant economic drivers.Kosaraju ChandramouliHyderabadIndiGo imbroglioThe editorial ‘Plane facts’ (December 8) is indeed a scathing indictment of India’s largest airline company. There appears to have been excessive greed for profits over well-being of the country and its citizens. The phrase “arm-twisting the regulator for concessions” is indeed a sad commentary of the extent some companies will go in order to have their way. This is all the more serious considering that the new regulations were in the interest of safety of flyers. Air travellers, too, must act responsibly. Rather than chase the lowest fares, they must reward companies that respect flyers’ rights, putting safety above all else.V VijaykumarPunePublished on December 8, 2025Sign into Unlock benefits!Access 10 free stories per monthAccess to comment on every storySign up/Manage to our newslettersGet notified by email for early preview to new features, discounts & offers${ ind + 1 } ${ device }Last active - ${ la }
