According to experts, a shift in India’s policy focus toward lifting the productive capacity of the economy will initiate a key change country’s structural story. 

The nation’s policymakers have taken up a series of reforms for creating a virtuous cycle by facilitating an increase in the country’s private capital expenditure cycle, which will enable powerful productivity dynamic for the country.
