New Delhi: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Wednesday that the economy is showing signs of improvement, and that businesses should start taking chances and investing in capacity building to reduce dependency on imports.

She also pushed the industry to create jobs in order to alleviate income disparities and to reduce finished goods imports in favour of increased manufacturing investment. "At a time when India is searching for development spurts, I want Indian industry to take greater risks and grasp what India wants," she said.
