Budget neglects port-led development

The budget presented by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has not made any comprehensive announcements about the ports. While the development of ports did get a reference, the budget´s focus on the topic has been very minimalistic. The industry expected much more on port development, besides providing high level of infrastructure within the ports and their connectivity. Also, well as improvement of roads around the port should have been considered on high priority. Contact: Ministry of Finance. Website: www.finmin.nic.in
