So in today’s episode for 9th May 2023, we decided to dive into the 190-page document* to figure out what the RBI thinks about the intersection of money and climate.

Why is India’s public bus system in a mess?
Last week, there were reports that India’s plan of electrifying buses had hit a speed bump. Apparently, biggies like Tata didn’t turn up to bid for the project because of a big fear — they didn’t believe that state transport corporations would be able to pay them because of their poor financial condition.
And this got us thinking about the state of affairs of public bus transport in the country. So in today’s episode for May 1st 2023, we’ll talk about just that.
