Noting that India is the destination for businesses, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said that the country has the right combination of factors that matter for a growing economy, including a middle class, captive market with purchasing power, technology-driven public investment and products, digital infrastructure and rule of law.
In her remarks during an interaction at the Raisina Dialogue here, Ms Sitharman also said that there is no sector in India that is not available for the private sector and rejected opposition criticism that the government is on a selling spree of public assets.
"There is no sector in India that is not available for the private sector to be in function. Public sector policy is not a crazy one and the government is not selling out everything. Opposition fully understands the meaning but says we are selling them off. We are not selling them off," she said.
She said India is putting across the voice of the Global South at G20.
