Look at India with a positive framework, says Praful Patel

London: Asserting that nobody could ignore the potentiality and growth prospects of India because of its size and population, Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel has asked British investors to look at the country with a positive framework and participate in its rapid development.
Speaking on "Indian Infrastructure - The Way Forward" at a one-day conference organized by the India Business Forum at the London Business School last evening, Patel said, "There is a change in the mind-set. The world's focus towards India cannot be ignored."
Referring to the sea-change that has taken in the Civil Aviation sector, Patel said just two years ago there were only 135 passenger aircraft catering to one billion population. "Today we have placed the largest order for aircraft as aviation sector has expanded significantly."
To a question, he said, "The bidding for the Mumbai and Delhi airports by international consortiums was done in a very transparent way."
