"There are problems. Those problems basically come up because we have a straight-jacketed system in our bureaucratic deals which is where a lot of delays take place...we are trying to straighten the system and we are trying to ensure the system is investor friendly," Singh said at an event here.

There are problems in grants or Line of Credits (LCs), he said, adding the government is trying to eliminate those issues.

Talking about investment opportunities for Indian businesses in the African nation Congo, the Minister said, there are already credit facility for cement plants, transportation system, communication and many more can be done to ensure development in that country.
