India has decided not to join the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP).
Why India opted out?
• Trade deficit: India’s merchandise trade deficit with the RCEP grouping hit $105 billion in FY19 (60% of its total deficit).
• India’s experience with FTA: India’s exports to FTA countries has not outperformed overall export growth or exports to rest of the world.
• Threat to domestic market: A large number of Indian industries including iron and steel, dairy, marine products, electronic products, chemicals and pharmaceuticals and textiles have expressed concerns that proposed tariff elimination under RCEP would render them uncompetitive.
• Lack of compliance with rules: The surge in goods imports into India is accentuated by instances of non-adherence to the Rules of Origin provisions and lack of full cooperation in investigating and addressing such breaches.
• Competition from China: Size and scale of Chinese manufacturing industry backed with extensive financial and non-financial support provide a clear edge to Chinese manufacturing producers.
• Strict IPR policy which India argued to be taken out of the agreement.

#BRAVE SON OF INDIA
PVC Rama Raghoba Rane (ENGINEER)

2nd Lieutenant Rama Raghoba Rane, was commissioned in the Corps of Engineers on 15 December 1947. On 18 March 1948, the Indian Army recaptured Jhangar, which was lost to the enemy in December 1947. Indian troops then planned an advance from Naushahra to Rajauri to protect the natives from atrocities of the raiders. Half-way lay the Chingas, on the old Mughal route to Kashmir. The 4 Dogra commenced the advance to Rajauri on 8 April 1948. It attacked the Barwali ridge, 11 km north of Naushahra and captured it after driving out the enemy from well-prepared positions. But beyond Barwali, the increasing number of road-blocks & minefields obstructed the progress of the battalion. Even armour could not cross over these obstacles. During this critical phase, 2nd Lt. Rane and his section of 37 Assault Field Company, attached to 4 Dogra, performed yeoman service. As the section started clearing a mine-field on April 8th, two sappers were killed and five others including Rane were injured in enemy mortar fire. However, Rane and his men completed the work by the evening and enabled the tanks to push forward.

But the enemy had not been cleared from the area and road ahead was still unsafe for the advance. 2nd Lieutenant Rane worked during the night to prepare a safe lane for the tanks. On April 9th, his men continuously worked for twelve hours to clear mines and remove road-blocks. Where the road was found un-negotiable he made a diversion for the column to pass through. 2nd Lieutenant Rane continued this work in the face of enemy artillery and mortar fire. On April 10th, he woke up early to resume work on the road-block, which could not be cleared the previous night. He cleared this huge road-block of 5 big pine tress, surrounded by mines and covered by intensive machine-gun fire, within two hours. The Army advanced another 13 km on this day before they encountered another major road-block. The enemy pickets perched on the adjoining hills were guarding all approaches to this road-block. 2nd Lieutenant Rane drove to the road block in a tank and crouching under it, blasted the block with mines. He thus opened the road before the end of the night. On April 11th, they worked for 17 hours to open the road to Chingas and beyond.

2nd Lt. Rane made a substantial contribution in facilitating the Indian advance on Rajauri. It cost the enemy about 500 dead and many more wounded. It also helped in saving many innocent lives in Chingas and Rajauri. The gallant effort made by 2nd Lieutenant Rama Raghoba Rane during this critical advance to Rajauri earned him the highest war-time gallantry medal, Param Vir Chakra.

#GD_STUFF
Reasons for Crash In Oil Prices
The fall in oil prices can be attributed to the mismatch in demand and supply of crude oil in the global market.

Too Much Supply
A) Recently, there was a price war going on between Russia and Saudi Arabia, where both disagreed to lower-oil production so that the price of oil can be stabilised upwards.
B) It must be understood that cutting production or completely shutting down an oil well is a difficult decision, because restarting it is both immensely costly and cumbersome.
C) Moreover, if one country cuts production, it risks losing market share if others do not follow suit.
D) The US is also producing oil aggressively, making it tough for other oil exporting countries (in West Asia ) to cut its oil production.

Too Little Demand
A) Over-supply of oil is an unsustainable pricing strategy under normal circumstances but it is even more calamitous during Covid-19 pandemic..
B) The pandemic sharply reduced economic activity and the demand for oil.
C) A recent Goldman Sachs report estimated that Covid-19 had lowered the world crude consumption by 28 million barrels per day.

Running Out of Space to Store
A) According to reports, the mismatch (too much supply and too little demand) resulted in almost all storage capacity being exhausted.
B) Trains and ships, which were typically used to transport oil, too, were used up just for storing oil.
C) This lack of storage was the immediate reason for negative oil prices in WTI.

Impact of Low Oil Prices

Geo-Political Impact
A)This crash in oil prices may undermine the political stability of several regimes in West Asia, impact Russia’s plan to revive its crippled economy and destroy the US’s shale oil industry.

Affecting Clean-Energy Alternatives
A) The profound and highly visible impact of the lockdown-induced reduction in mobility on air quality in polluted cities around the world could give a significant impetus to the search for non-polluting transportation alternatives.
B) This will have significant implications for investments in clean and renewable energy sources like solar and wind power.
C) On the negative side, developing countries (who don’t have technology for renewable energy) may tend to use cheap oil for its developmental needs and neglecting clean energy alternatives.

Impact on India

The ways in which this lower price can help India.
A) If the government passes on the lower prices to consumers, this will boost public consumption and may help in economic recovery in a post-lockdown scenario.
B) If, on the other hand, governments (both at the Centre and the states) decide to levy higher taxes on oil, it can boost government revenues.
C) India being the world’s third largest importer of crude oil, a sharp and prolonged decline in oil prices helps in reducing current account deficit.
