India has leapt 30 positions to rank 100 in the World Bank's "Doing Business Report 2018," becoming a big improver, the Embassy of India said.
According to the bank, economies are ranked on their ease of doing business, using 10 parameters. A high ease of doing business ranking means the regulatory environment is more conducive to starting and operating a firm.
The Doing Business Team assesses 190 countries.
"The credit for the improvement is given to the mantra of ‘Reform, Perform, Transform' by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, wherein a strong leadership has provided the political will to carry out comprehensive and complex reforms, supported by a bureaucracy committed to perform," the embassy said.
"The government has undertaken an extensive exercise of stakeholder consultations, identification of user needs, government process re-engineering to match government rules and procedures with user expectations and streamlined them to create a more conducive business environment.
"An extensive exercise has also been undertaken to increase awareness among users about reforms to ensure extensive use of newly created systems."
