Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Tuesday said that the government is working on measures to open out the economy and also pitched for more investments in sectors such as infrastructure.

"We are looking to open out...we want to reform more, attract more investment, expand more in manufacturing and bridge the infrastructure deficit," he said at the India-UK Tech Summit organised by CII.

He further said that there is growing impatience in India for faster and higher economic growth.

The government is also looking to expand the manufacturing sector's contribution to GDP to 25 per cent.

UK Secretary of Trade Liam Fox said the two countries have a golden opportunity to reforge their trading relationship.
