India's PLI Scheme and Its Effects

First, we talk to The Indian Express’ Soumyarendra Barik about Apple’s decision to increase iPhone production in India and the political pushback it has received from the US.

Next, we turn to Arunachal Pradesh, where protests have erupted against a hydropower project where we are joined by The Indian Express’ Sukrita Baruah to understand the strategic importance of the project, and why local communities are opposing it. (15:18)
