The government is focussed to spend on infrastructure in a big way to create a smooth logistics experience for industries, Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said here on Thursday.

Addressing the inaugural session of the Invest North Summit, she said the interaction between industry and government is essential.

Talking about the ease of doing business, the minister said nearly 12 states have satisfied 75 per cent of the conditions, which is a welcome step where states are responding positively.
