Investment Climate:
FDI in sectors such as retail, insurance, defence, etc needs to be expanded drastically
Rapid clearance of large projects
Financial Sector Reforms: Liberalize financing guidelines
Facilitate increased access to international debt markets
Encourage development of the corporate debt market
Agriculture Sector Reforms:
Allow FDI in food retailing to integrate distorted supply chain Encouragement to PPP model in strengthening agriculture research and extension programmes
Exempting horticulture produce from APMC Act
Move towards unified national market and allow free movement of produce
Infrastructure:
For greater investment in infrastructure policy framework needs to be made more friendly
Social Sector:
Much better delivery of government services to the poor with the support of state governments
Agenda for further reforms
CII has been a strong partner to government during the reforms period and will
continue to build the partnership of Government and industry to make India a
developed nation in the next two decades
