New Delhi: British finance minister George Osborne on Tuesday announced a £1 billion ($1.68 billion) credit line for investment in Indian infrastructure projects.

“We have announced a £1 billion credit loan for investment in Indian infrastructure where there is some British content and that is the largest single credit line we have extended to any specific sector in any country," Osborne said.
