How is the level of Ease of Doing Business in India improving in recent years?

“Minimum government, maximum governance” Narendra Modi

India’s business environment has significantly improved through policy reforms, digital governance, and infrastructure development.

• In the World Bank Ease of Doing Business Report (2020), India ranked 63rd, up from 142nd (2014) among the top 10 global improvers.
• Major reforms include GST, Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC, 2016), online single-window clearances, and Labour Code consolidation (2020).
• The National Single Window System (2022) simplifies over 100 approvals digitally.
• Haryana ranked among top five states in the DPIIT State Business Reform Action Plan (2022) due to industrial corridors (Kundli–Manesar–Palwal Expressway) and Gurugram’s IT-friendly ecosystem.

These reforms have boosted investor confidence and promoted India’s emergence as a global manufacturing hub under Make in India 2.0.
