Modi Bats for Highways and I-Ways in India

Taking his ‘economic reforms’ abroad, Prime Minister Narendra Modi told business leaders in Melbourne that reforms were being undertaken to enhance the ease of doing business in India.

Asserting that his government was committed to building infrastructure across the country, Modi said "We are focused on infrastructure, including national roads, rural infrastructure, irrigation works, modernisation and high speed rail. My government is actively working to revive the economy. New world class ports will be developed across India's coasts, inland waterways will be developed,"

The Prime Minister said that speedy recovery of the global economy was extremely important. Modi also used the platform to promote his 'Make in India' programme and said that India needs highways as well as 'I-Ways'.

"We need highways and we need I-ways too. When I say I-ways, it means information ways. We have recently launched the 'Make in India' programme for growth of manufacture within the country. We are particularly promoting labour intensive manufacturing," he said.
