India to foreign CEOs: 'We're waiting for you'

NEW DELHI (AP) — India's finance minister is urging foreign investors to help plug enormous gaps in the country's infrastructure blamed for holding back growth.

"We are waiting for you," Arun Jaitley told a roomful of international and Indian CEOs attending the India Economic Summit, one of the World Economic Forum's satellite summits held around the globe.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has enchanted Indians with his vision of a country crisscrossed by modern roads, high-speed trains, dozens of high-tech smart cities and universal Internet cables.

To get there, India has a long way to go.
