India’s federal cabinet has approved projects worth around 1.6 trillion rupees ($18 billion) covering infrastructure, urban development and support for startups, Information Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Saturday.
Vaishnaw did not immediately provide further details on the individual projects.
The approvals come as India continues to push investment in public infrastructure and development programmes to boost growth and job creation.
