New Delhi, Feb 28(IBNS) Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has proposed an increase in investment in infrastructure by Rs. 70,000 crore in 2015-16 over the year 2014-15 from the Centre’s funds and resources of CPSEs.

Presenting the General Budget for 2015-16 in the Lok Sabha on Saturday,  the Finance Minister said the present state of infrastructure does not match the growth ambitions.

The CAPEX of the public sector units is expected to be Rs.3,17,889 crores, an increase of approx. Rs. 80,844 crores over RE 2014-15.
