The government has stepped-up its effort of Ease of Doing Business with the launch of District Business Reform Action Plan (DBRAP). DBRAP is a State-led initiative aimed at localizing Business Reforms Action Plan (BRAP) at the district level. Since 2015, the government has been implementing the BRAP to promote transparency, simplify regulatory procedures, and enhance service delivery across all the States and Union Territories. Launched by Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), DBRAP is designed to strengthen last-mile delivery, improve service quality, and accelerate regional development by equipping districts with robust institutional and digital infrastructure.
With the launch of DBRAP, the DPIIT has laid out a structured district-level framework to improve Ease of Doing Business and enhance administrative responsiveness. Under the framework, DPIIT has outlined key reform areas which includes district-level approvals and service delivery, digitisation and mutation of property records, time-bound and risk-based inspection systems, district-level investment facilitation mechanisms, measures for fostering start-ups in Tier-II and Tier-III cities and strengthening of industrial parks and local infrastructure.
Moreover, it has identified a total of 154 reforms, each with a clearly defined objective and assessment checklist to ensure uniform implementation and monitoring across districts. The reforms are aimed at improving predictability for businesses and building competitive district-level ecosystems that support MSMEs, start-ups, and new investments. These reforms will be implemented across District Collectorates, Development Authorities, and Urban Local Bodies, which play a critical role in regulatory approvals, inspections, and business facilitation.
