He said the Central government was giving greater thrust on development of infrastructure, agriculture sector and health sector.
Decisions like demonetisation and Goods and Services Tax (GST) are expected to have a positive impact in the coming years.
“I am aware of the initial difficulties that the exporters have been facing due to these steps. However, I am sure that the GST Council and the government have been quite responsive to such teething troubles and have been taking prompt action to address these concerns,” he said.
