Finance Minister Arun Jaitley is likely to visit Australia next month and invite pension funds to invest in India, which offers vast opportunities, particularly in the infrastructure sector. Jaitley is also expected to be a part of the ‘Make in India’ programme scheduled to take place in Australia in March-end, said an Indian official.
The trip is an extension of the state visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Australia in November last year.
Finance Minister’s visit signifies the importance India accords to Australia and is part of India’s efforts to meet with investors globally and explain to them about the investment opportunities in India, said the official.
