Consolidating the fiscal deficit target of 4.8 per cent of GDP will indeed be challenging, not just due to domestic constraints but also owing to external headwinds including geopolitical uncertainties and potential retaliatory tariffs from the US.Maintaining the debt-to-GDP ratio at sustainable levels is essential to safeguard India’s sovereign credit ratings. One way to utilise the RBI’s surplus gainfully could be through bond-switch operations replacing short-term securities with longer-term ones to smoothen the redemption profile and reduce interest outflows in the near term. For this strategy to yield results, the government must ensure: sustained growth in GDP and tax revenues; a strong commitment to fiscal consolidation; and a conducive interest rate environment to mitigate refinancing risks. Equally important is the cooperation of State governments in achieving their respective fiscal targets.Srinivasan VelamurChennaiFillip for women workersThis refers to ‘Royal Enfield’s Cheyyar plant to be all-women unit’ (June 10). After Tata Motors, Pune and Ashok Leyland’s Hosur plant, Royal Enfield’s Cheyyar plant is also going to be an all-women plant. It is women empowerment in the truest sense. Royal Enfield should be credited for increasing its women workforce from 5 per cent to 20 per cent now. Expecting women employees to be part of management and business roles is common but when they enter shop floors and master welding and assembling then it sends a significantly positive message to the other OEMs in particular and Indian Inc in general. Hope other auto OEMs follow the suit and bring more equality in their workforce.Bal GovindNoidaNeed for IT regulatorThis refers to ‘SaaS companies see India revenues growing’ (June 10). As India aspires to be a global digital leader, ensuring justice, fairness, and ethical governance in the IT sector becomes indispensable. The unchecked power and sometimes exploitative behaviour of IT service providers threaten to erode client trust, stifle innovation, and create systemic vulnerabilities. Establishing an Information Technology Regulatory Authority is an inevitable step to build a resilient, equitable, and client-friendly digital economy in the country.By acting now, India can lead by example in demonstrating that digital growth and digital rights can and must go hand in hand.PD SankaranarayananKumaramputhur PO, KeralaPublished on June 10, 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 }
