The Supreme Court’s recent decision striking down the RBI’s February 2018 circular on bad loans highlights something significant about the state machinery — the extent to which it can be a source of risk for private businesses.
In that sense, the ruling provides an immediate relief to promoters in the power sector — mainly because the petitions challenging the RBI circular were primarily filed by power sector companies — from being dragged to insolvency courts under the Narendra Modi government’s 2016 legislation, the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC).

The Plaza Accord was not an externally imposed punishment of Japan but part of a broader restructuring that Japanese economists and policymakers themselves recognized was necessary. Its effects were undermined, however, when Tokyo responded to the resulting slowdown with policies that exacerbated investment, credit expansion, and the very imbalances the adjustment was intended to resolve.
