CBI comments on India's Ease of Doing Business ranking

Shehla Hasan, CBI India Director, said:

"British businesses are greatly encouraged to see India shoot up 23 places in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business rankings.

"From making it easier to get construction permits to getting electricity, Prime Minister Modi's bold economic decisions are sending the right signals to companies.

“To get more firms doing business in India – especially the UK’s brilliantly innovative smaller firms – we look forward to an even more competitive business environment in India, with further protection for foreign investors.”
