Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said the government remains steadfast in reducing regulatory burdens, besides enhancing trust-based governance and taking steps to make India a ‘seamless, export-friendly’ economy. She added a robust manufacturing sector free from unnecessary regulatory bottlenecks will further attract both domestic and foreign investments, driving economic growth, positioning India as a trusted global player.
Sitharaman said decriminalisation of business related laws reduces the legal risks, allowing industries to operate with greater confidence. Over 42,000 compliance requirements have already been removed, and over 3,700 legal provisions have been decriminalised since 2014. In the Jan Vishwas Act 2023, more than 180 legal provisions were decriminalised.
She said ‘Our government will now bring up the Jan Vishwas Bill 2.0 to decriminalise more than 100 provisions in various laws. It will further simplify processes for businesses’. She said the government's ‘unprecedented’ push for infrastructure development helps create jobs, strengthen industries, and also lays the foundation for greater private sector participation in India's growth story.
She also said ‘The pathway for reforms are complemented by the government's unwavering focus on capital expenditure as a driver of economic growth’. For the next fiscal, the government has proposed effective capex at Rs 15.48 lakh crore, which is 4.3 per cent of the GDP. Of this, Rs 11.21 lakh crore is allocated as core capital expenditure by the Centre, which is 3.1 per cent of the GDP.
