India Seeks Higher Dividends From State-Run Firms

Imagine the Indian government as a big company that owns other smaller companies.

The government is asking these smaller companies to share more of their profits, like dividends, with the government.

They want to do this more often, maybe every three months instead of once a year.

The government wants to use this money to help pay for things, especially since they recently lowered taxes for some people.

This is happening because the world's economy is a bit shaky right now, and the government needs extra money to make sure everything is running smoothly.

The government previously received a large sum from the central bank.
