Expressing optimism over India’s ranking in ease of doing business, the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) Secretary Guruprasad Mohapatra has said that the country will soon break into the top 50 in the World Bank's (WB) ease of doing business ranking. Besides, India jumped 14 places to the 63rd position in the WB's ease of doing business ranking released in October. India was ranked 142nd among 190 nations when Prime Minister Narendra Modi took office in 2014.
He also said a district-wise ease of doing business plan is slowly evolving in which the four local bodies will partake in improving the business climate and ease of living, along with the centre and the state government. He sounded caution that once India does that, it will be in the league of advanced industrialised countries, where any incremental progress will require even stronger reform measures from the government.
Mohapatra further said that from next year onwards, the World Bank Ease of Doing Business (EODB) rankings will include two more cities of Bengaluru and Kolkata apart from the existing cities of Delhi and Mumbai. Meanwhile, in its 'Doing Business' 2020 report, the World Bank had commended the reform efforts undertaken by the country ‘given the size of India's economy’.
