The Government has set up a task force to boost investments in infrastructure projects and was in the process of identifying the sectors which needed funding from the Centre, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said here on Tuesday.
"Government spending has to be speeded up to boost consumption. The best spending (by government) will be on infrastructure.
We have (already) announced Rs 100 lakh crore and that is the amount which I think has to be speeded up for infrastructure related projects", she said.
