According to him, railway lines of 2,031 km were laid and 6,000 km-long national highways were constructed in the past one year. In the telecom sector, towers have been installed across 10,700 villages to improve connectivity, he said.
«In the past, 90 per cent phones in India used to be imported. Now, 90 per cent phones are being manufactured in India and units of Rs 1.28 lakh crore are being exported,» he said. The global growth rate is stuck at 3.2 per cent, while that of India is 6.5 per cent, Scindia added. There was a burden of non-performing assets (NPA) on banks, which was left behind as a legacy by the Congress and the UPA government, he said.
