Budget 2022: Govt must invest only where pvt sector cannot, says Akhil Gupta

Bharti Enterprises vice chairman Akhil Gupta, who is bullish on the Centre’s policy intervention in the telecom sector, suggests ahead of the budget that the government should invest only in the areas in which the private sector cannot invest. On the private investment front, Gupta said that there is no dearth of capital in India for a good project backed by a good promoter. That said, Gupta raises a red flag on governance on the part of the lending agencies which led to the NPAs.
