【New Delhi】Prime Minister Narendra Modi conveyed the "Namo mantra (Narendra Modi's sacred utterance)" for spurring the economy back to higher growth to his council of ministers on Monday night.
The council has decided to review the progress of all projects worth Rs 6.5 lakh crore cleared by the outgoing UPA government's Cabinet Committee on Investments (CCI). CCI was set up to revive the investment cycle and shore up the economy by resolving red-tape hurdles facing big-ticket projects. Mr. Modi instructed his council to go beyond facilitating clearances for such investments and focus on making them operational on the ground.
