For the moment, the government feels the ongoing schemes are sufficient, Rajesh Kumar Singh, secretary in the department for promotion of industry and internal trade (DPIIT), told Mint.

"Right now, the kitty is sufficient, and this government feels the allocation is sufficient," he said on Thursday.
