Title: No more leeway(The RBI must set an example on transparency, and serve thenational economic interest)

Context: The Reserve Bank of India has been given a “lastopportunity” by the Supreme Court to stop being in“contempt” of the court’s clear and unambiguous order ofDecember 2015.



Ruling on a batch of contempt petitions against the RBI, atwo-judge bench directed it to furnish all informationrelating to inspection reports and other material sought byRight to Information (RTI) petitioners, save materialexempted by the court’s earlier order particularly on thegrounds that it had a bearing on the security of the state.

The banking regulator has repeatedly tried to stonewallmultiple requests seeking information ranging from thenames of wilful defaulters on bank loans worth hundredsof crores of rupees, to the bank-wise breakup of mark-to-market (MTM) losses and the losses in foreign currencyderivatives contract cases.



The Central Information Commission too had, inNovember, directed the then RBI Governor, Urjit Patel, toshow cause “why maximum penalty should not beimposed on him” for the central bank’s “defiance” ofSupreme Court orders on disclosing the names of wilfulloan defaulters.

The RBI was ticked off by the CIC for failing to uphold theinterest of the public and not fulfilling its statutory duty todepositors, the economy and the banking sector, byprivileging individual banks’ interests over its obligation toensure transparency.



Final WordsAs the CIC aptly observed last year, the central bank’sintransigence and repeated failure to honour the court’sorders ultimately undermines the very rule of law it seeks toenforce as a banking sector regulator empowered byParliament.

Title: Downbeat diesel (The government must be more proactive in shifting vehicles to cleaner fuels)

Context: The decision taken by Maruti Suzuki, India’s largestpassenger vehicle manufacturer, to eliminate diesel modelsfrom April 1, 2020, when the Bharat Stage VI emission standardis introduced, mirrors emerging global trends.



Although diesel has powered India’s commercial transportsegment for decades, its fortunes are declining for severalreasons, beginning with the narrowing of the pricedifferential with petrol.

Given the prevailing economics and diesel’s reputation as adirty fuel that adds to pollution from cars, buses and freightvehicles, auto companies see a weak business case toupgrade them. Maruti Suzuki’s decision makes it clear thatin spite of being a strong past performer, this fuel is ridinginto the sunset as far as the personal vehicle is concerned.This outcome should be welcomed for the positive impact itwill have on air quality and public health.



Automotive emissions, especially in congested cities, haverisen due to steady economic growth, proliferation ofvehicles and more vehicle kilometres travelled.

The national plan to shift to higher quality BS VI grade fuelsmay offer some mitigation of pollution, but that can only bea respite. Improving air quality in the cities requires atransformative planning approach guided by the singularobjective of reducing the use of polluting vehicles. Such apolicy would prioritise less-polluting and alternative fuelsfor vehicles, but more important, encourage walking, cyclingand using public transport.



Final WordsParis, Madrid and Athens have announced a prohibition ondiesel vehicles by 2025, while London has made it moreexpensive for older vehicles to enter the city. India has to chartits own equitable and accessible green path.
