NITI Aayog CEO To NDTV On Why Fuel Prices Can't Be Cut | Read

Investing huge sums into top quality infrastructure will lead to a high trajectory of growth, but it is a difficult choice to make if resources are scarce, the Chief Executive of the government think tank NITI Aayog, Amitabh Kant, told NDTV. The government has been battling criticism over rising fuel prices and runaway inflation. Mr Kant, on whether the tax structure on these essentials needs to be rationalised to bring relief for people, pointed out that an ideal pace of tax collection must remain to ensure there are enough resources to be pumped into reviving the economy amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
