Mr. O. Suzuki, Chairman, Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC) of Japan, has deferred his visit to India as the Prime Minister’s Office failed to slot him for a meeting with Mr. P. V. Narasimha Rao, during his planned May 8-10 visit. The reason for the postponement offered officially by the PMO and Maruti Udyog Ltd is that while the Prime Minister would be busy during the week in other urgent matters, Mr. Suzuki has to stay back in Japan to attend to certain specific issues. However, according to informed sources, the main reason for the cancellation of Mr. Suzuki’s visit is that while an inter-ministerial committee has been formed to arrive at a decision, the Government has not made up its mind as yet on the route to take for subscribing to the Rs. 500-600-crore rights issue proposed by the board of MUL.

TRAI to decide on tariff, tech. options
Telecom tariff fixation will no longer be the exclusive prerogative of the Government, following the setting up of the Telecom Regulatory Authority formally cleared by the Union Cabinet on Thursday. According to the mandate given by the Cabinet, TRAI will “fix tariff for telecom service and ensure price regulation.” However, it will have nothing to do with the tender process and the issue of licence to service operators.
