A British minister has launched a report that details every major Indian infrastructure contract up for tender in an effort to boost the chances of firms in UK win their share of the business.
 
Britain's Trade Minister Lord Digby Jones launched the ground-breaking report, compiled by global audit firm KPMG, that details every major Indian infrastructure contract up for tender.
 
Lord Jones told The Daily Telegraph that the Indian government had plans to spend USD 500 billion on infrastructure over the next ten years and the report would help British firms to win their share of the work.
 
"The Indians see us as good business partners, as people that partner well," Lord Jones said, pointing to the number of Indian companies listed on the London Stock Exchange and the fact that 60 per cent of all Indian investment in Europe is with Britain.
