Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has asserted foreign investors that India would give better returns on investments than many other countries. Noting that the government is putting special focus on improving ease of doing business he said that foreign investments can provide great additional resources for infrastructure and other sectors.
Jaitley said that the country’s infrastructure sector needs huge investments. Railways, highways and power sectors are among those that require funds and the success of projects in these areas would largely depend on bankability. He said that the government is giving special focus on improving the ease of doing business in the country with initiatives like 'Make In India' designed to boost the manufacturing sector that has huge potential.
FM who is on Singapore and Hong Kong visit seeking to attract foreign investors, including large asset managers, to the Indian markets, emphasised that the government wants to resolve expeditiously the entire instability on the taxation matters as “tax uncertainty does not help the investment environment”. He added that “We inherited a legacy of several tax disputes. Perhaps, this was one of the tougher challenges we had.” He also said that we are very eager to reach a resolution.
Looking to attract more overseas investors, he said Digital India and Make in India (initiatives) are designed to give special boost to manufacturing and India has huge potential in these areas. On concerns that the reforms pace has turned slow, Jaitley said, “I don’t share that perception because the government has been moving very consistently on its reforms agenda with a clear-cut direction.”
