(Riya Saha, Intern Journalist)NEW DELHI: The government is likely to soon announce fresh measures, including big-ticket infrastructure projects and policy changes, to make local industry more competitive, as part of efforts to rebuild the economy in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, said people with knowledge of the matter.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi may himself unveil some of these steps, which could also include an initiative to reorient the tax administration, said government sources. The measures could be announced as early as August 13, they said.
The move to make the industry more competitive will be part of the Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan, or self-reliance campaign, they said. This latest package will follow the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana and Atmanirbhar Bharat revival programs that were announced earlier.
