The Economic Survey released yesterday called for sweeping reforms and set out a disinvestment target of generating Rs 25,000 crore per year. Commenting on the same Montek Singh Ahluwalia, Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission, said, "I don't think that the survey is saying anything different from what was contained in the President's address." He said that over the medium-term, issues like disinvestment would already be a declared policy. "I am glad that the survey is emphasising it." He hoped India would soon have a medium-term program for disinvestment. But was quick to add that government equity will remain at 51%.
Ahluwalia further said that tax reforms were an extremely important part of the agenda. “The president's address had mentioned it and the fact that the survey has also mentioned it is strengthening a message already given.”
