NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India should increase public sector spending to revive economic growth in the medium term, a move that would require reviewing all fiscal targets, its chief economic adviser said on Friday.

Arvind Subramanian said the government was committed to meet a tough 4.1 percent fiscal deficit target in the 2014/15 fiscal year and that it would consider all measures, including expenditure cuts.
