This study uses a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model to evaluate the macroeconomic and fiscal effects of the CBAM on India, with a focus on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) impact, sectoral competitiveness, exports, fiscal revenue, and household welfare.

Sambandh conducts data-driven research to map infrastructure and connectivity links between South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Bay of Bengal and the larger Indo-Pacific regions. The initiative was launched in 2020.

The paper employs a novel approach, which focuses on the total number of those employed rather than unemployment rates across different demographic and employment segments, while also disregarding subsidiary employment, allows us to draw definitive conclusions about changing employment patterns.

This paper examines the affordability of healthcare—who can afford it and how much is affordable—for households in the third and fourth quintiles in India, taking into consideration the aspect of willingness to pay. Based on the affordability analysis, it attempts to identify reform options for UHC.

This paper examines the core issues that have prevented India from achieving manufacturing competitiveness and suggests policy priorities to overcome these challenges. The authors take a novel approach by modifying the well-known Porter’s Diamond Model (PDM) to do so.

This paper is part of a three-state study on the drivers of state-level initiatives in primary healthcare and elementary education in urban areas during the last decade, from 2014 to 2024.

Can India balance growth in electricity demand purely from Renewable Energy (RE)? This analysis demonstrates that India’s 2030 RE targets, even if achieved, will likely fall short of meeting projected electricity demand growth, particularly when considering the critical challenges of ToD balancing and storage limitations.

This paper examines the impact of EV uptake on three tax streams: Excise and Value Added Tax (VAT) losses from fuel switch to electricity, revenue forgone from concessional GST rates and Compensation Cess exemptions; and state losses from Motor Vehicle tax exemptions.

This paper examines the growing challenges of urban health in India, focusing on the disparities between the urban poor and non-poor populations.

Based on new evidence, this paper offers policy recommendations for an Indian critical minerals strategy in Africa. It aims to explain why, where, and how India can build strategic collaborations with mineral-rich countries in the region.

As India aims for UHC through a health insurance model, this paper addresses a crucial question which emerges: How can India achieve UHC while effectively addressing the population’s health needs, especially those of the poorest segment?

This study analyses the causes of bottlenecks in the global supply chains that affect mineral access to all countries. It also highlights methods adopted by different countries to ensure resilient supplies and evaluates supply chain challenges for India that need strategic policy actions.

Based on a data-driven analysis, the research insights have brought to light why or why not India’s electricity grid is turning cleaner fast enough and the possible challenges to materialise the decarbonisation plan.
