India aims to be among top 30 in ease of business

The government is focused on improving infrastructure and driving innovation to ensure that India ranks among the top 30 countries in terms of “ease of doing business” in the next 3-4 years, Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant said on Tuesday.

Speaking at an IAMAI event here, Mr Kant said the ecosystem of innovation is just “beginning to blossom” and one is seeing a resurgence of young Indians starting new businesses. “Our objective is that India must become a very easy and a very simple place to do business in. This is one government that is focussed on innovation and trying to make India an easy simple place to do business,” he added.

Stating that India has jumped up 12 positions in the ease of doing business, he said the government has taken various steps in this regard.
