India making big strides in ease of doing business: DPIIT Secretary

Davos: Speaking at a breakfast session organised by CII and EY, Anuraj Jain, the DPIIT Secretary on Tuesday said that it is now possible to start a business in one day in India, matching the world's best scorer New Zealand on this front. He also said that several other steps are underway on further improving the ease of doing business in India, including the labour laws.

"All labour laws have been consolidated into four codes, which have been passed by Parliament and the government is in the process of their final implementation," he said.

"The central government is in the process of getting consent of all states and union territories on this, but in the meantime most states have started seeing the benefits and are already putting in place the rules," he added.
