Yeah agreed, i do expect such transfers to cross 1% of GDP in FY26

Another consequence would be India might never become low cost manufacturing centre... Hence GDP growth could taper off some time in future (very very unlikely to be at 8%+ on sustainable basis without low cost manufacturing export boom)

This would shrink India's labour advantage... Very unlikely India will get a chance to hold a high share in global textile export market
