NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India can increase public investments and still hit its borrowing targets, a finance ministry report said on Friday, in an indication that Finance Minister Arun Jaitley will stick to debt targets in his maiden full-year budget on Saturday. The government should meet its medium-term target of lowering the fiscal deficit to 3 percent of gross domestic product, the economic report said. (Reporting by Manoj Kumar; Editing by Malini Menon)
