India's Finance and Defence Minister Arun Jaitley (C) arrives to attend a meeting with the finance ministers of Indian states on the Goods and Services Tax (GST) issues in New Delhi July 3, 2014. India's new government will seek to raise up to a record $11.7 billion in asset sales in its maiden budget this week, a senior government source said, bolstering state finances and buying time for structural reforms to revive a weak economy. The privatization target could reach 700 billion rupees, almost equal to all proceeds over the last four years, in a budget Prime Minister Narendra Modi hopes will launch the growth and jobs agenda that in May won him India's biggest election mandate in three decades. The budget is due on July 10. Picture taken July 3, 2014. REUTERS/Adnan Abidi (INDIA) - RTR3XAKA
