"We need to look at the old regulatory framework in an entirely new way and that will call for a complete change of mindset. We are looking at new models," Kamal Nath said, after he took charge of his portfolio.

"Policies cannot be measured - there can be a number of policies. But roads and highways can be physically measured. This is a major infrastructure area. Results will be seen," said the minister who had the commerce and industry portfolio in the previous government.

"I have been given a challenging task," he said.
