NEW DELHI (Reuters) - The Indian cabinet has eased rules for quicker settlement of disputes in the construction sector, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said on Wednesday, to pump liquidity and activate some of the stranded real estate and infrastructure projects.
Jaitley said the government and the central bank would also consider to de-stress stalled construction projects to help improve liquidity in the short run.
India's construction sector accounts for 8 percent of the country's gross domestic product.
