Industry should not hesitate to invest, expand capacities: Sitharaman tells India Inc

NEW DELHI: (Sep 18) Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Thursday said the government has delivered policies as per the expectation of industry, and it's now time for India Inc to invest more and expand capacities.

Speaking at the IFQM Symposium, Sitharaman also asked the industry to partner with the government in skilling youth and also to have a continuous engagement with the government throughout the year, and not just before the Budget.

To a question by Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran on what the industry should be doing now, Sitharaman said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has never relented on reforms, nor has he ignored the wishlist of the industry.
