The government on Thursday expressed hope that the reforms by both the Centre and states will help drive up the country’s ranking in the ease of doing business index of the World Bank.
Last year, India was ranked 130th in World Bank’s ease of doing business index, an improvement of four notches from a year before.
“Ease of doing business is one of the priorities. In the World Bank report, we have improved to 130th and this year too, we hope to make some improvement because enormous amount of work is being done by central government ministries, departments and states,” department of industrial policy and promotion (DIPP) secretary Ramesh Abhishek said at the tourism investors meet organised by Ficci.
