Industry protests power tariff hike - Indian Express - 1 views

  •  
    Many industrial associations in India are displeased with an increase in the power tariff, because "It would not only prevent new industries from coming to the state but may also lead to closure of the existing ones."

Silver has sweet appeal in India | Montreal Gazette - 0 views

  •  
    In India, silver is in high demand during the festive season of Diwali. This article discusses how in the case, the demand for silver is relatively inelastic, because the demand has stayed relatively the same while the price has increased around 30%. Since silver in sweets is a tradition, most people will continue to purchase edible silver leafs for Diwali even when the price increases, and so the demand for silver leafs is inelastic at this time of year, but when the festival is over, the demand will once again go down and become more elastic.

    India's booming GDP has been making it become a leading pioneer in economic development. However, while the demand side is soaring, the supply side is lagged behind.

  •

Not only does the factory cause air-pollution through fumes, but it also causes noise-pollution and vibrations that make living in the area very uncomfortable.

Coca-Cola cuts prices, Pepsi may follow suit - 1 views

  •  
    This article concerns the oligopoly of Coca-Cola and Pepsi in the soft-drinks industry. It is a non-collusive oligopoly; and the two firms compete in order to gain consumers and maximize profits. Although this is usually apparent through non-price competition (as price competition can result in heavy losses for both firms), in this situation in India, Coca-Cola is reducing its prices in order to gain consumers. Pepsi will then follow suit, also reducing its prices, as if it doesn't it may lose many consumers to Coca-Cola.
