She also highlighted recent initiatives, such as the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP), National Monetisation Pipeline, Digital Public Infrastructure, Production Linked Incentive, real estate sector, and FDI policy reforms.
During the meeting, Sitharaman acknowledged that India has stood out as a beacon of hope in the face of the pandemic and geopolitical conflicts, becoming the fifth-largest economy in the world. She appreciated the investors in South Korea for showing continued confidence in India and their willingness to participate in the Production Linked Incentive scheme, particularly for the mobile phone and electronic component sectors.
