Budget 2016 needs to create big push for infrastructure: KM Birla

NEW DELHI: With less than a month left for Finance Minister Arun Jaitley's make-or-break Budget, the chorus for rebooting India's infrastructure has only become louder.

"There are businesses that we have been in and the investments we are talking about are strategic investments. Idea for example will launch even more aggressively its 4G service. Our retail business will continue to aggressively expand so it is not so dependent on what is happening in the global economy. I think that the government needs to focus on infrastructure and I am hoping that coming Budget will accelerate very significantly the allocation for urban infrastructure," says KM Birla, chairman Aditya Birla Group.

Railway Budget will be presented on February 25, Eco Survey on February 26 and Union Budget on February 29.
