NEW DELHI : A little more pick-up in capacity utilization in factories, which are now running at more than 70%, and a reasonable resolution to the Russia-Ukraine war will create the right tailwind for a revival in private investment, said Sanjiv Bajaj, the newly-elected president of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).

Businesses in the formal sector, especially technology firms, are steadily hiring people, said Bajaj, also the chairman and managing director of Bajaj Finserv Ltd.

A normal monsoon will help tame food price inflation, while tax cuts could help moderate energy price inflation, Bajaj said in an interview, adding that businesses are expecting clues from the Reserve Bank of India on the roadmap for the expected monetary tightening.

Edited excerpts: Retail price inflation has surged to an eight-year high in April. What is the impact on industry? Will it drag down consumption? Multiple factors are impacting the economy now.

COVID-19 rebound reported after Pfizer’s pill Paxlovid, CDC says

The CDC said Tuesday that COVID-19 rebound has been reported to occur between two to eight days after initial recovery from the virus. The "rebound" could be characterized as COVID-19 symptoms reemerging and/or testing positive again after having already tested negative. The CDC didn’t say how many rebound cases had been reported. The CDC said those initially treated with the pill who experience rebound COVID had mild illness. "There is currently no evidence that additional treatment is needed with Paxlovid or other anti-SARS-CoV-2 therapies in cases where COVID-19 rebound is suspected," the CDC stated. Additionally, the CDC stressed that Paxlovid’s five-day regimen of pills is still recommended for early-stage treatment of mild to moderate COVID among persons at high risk for severe disease. Paxlovid was authorized in December based on a study in which 1,000 adults received the medication.

Amazon could end N.J. warehouse leases as online shopping slows, sources say

TRENTON, N.J. - Amazon is planning to sublease some of its warehouse space now that the pandemic-fueled surge in online shopping, which helped the e-commerce giant rake in soaring profits in the past two years, has eased.Subleasing allows the company to "relieve the financial obligations associated with an existing building that no longer meets" its needs, Amazon spokesperson Alisa Carroll said.Carroll didn’t disclose how much space the company plans to sublet. But citing anonymous sources, Bloomberg News and The Wall Street Journal reported earlier that the retailer would sublease at least 10 million square feet of space and could end more of its leases in states including New York, New Jersey and California.Seattle-based Amazon doubled the size of its operations during the pandemic, adding more warehouses and workers to keep up with demand from homebound consumers who felt more comfortable buying things online.
