Description

President Trump’s 50% tariff threat on Indian exports has shaken India’s leadership. Can India turn this crisis into an opportunity for reform? Sucheta Dalal argues that to make the dream of Viksit Bharat a reality, India must go beyond rhetoric and fix four fundamental issues: compliance overload, enforcement overreach, rampant corruption, and judicial gridlock.


From MSMEs crushed under 1,450 compliance obligations, to tax terrorism and corruption draining resources, to judicial delays crippling contract enforcement — the challenges are deep and systemic. Unless India tackles these bottlenecks head-on, lofty promises and task forces won’t bridge the gap between vision and reality.
