PM Modi Urges States To Ease Compliance
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked states to reduce the compliance burden on investors and make business approvals easier. Speaking at the NITI Aayog Governing Council meeting, he said states must go beyond tax incentives and free land to build a more investor-friendly environment.
PM Modi On Investor Compliance
PM Modi advised states to focus on investor feedback and identify regulatory hurdles that discourage businesses. He said excessive paperwork, delays and complex procedures can weaken India’s ability to attract domestic and overseas investment.
The message comes as India seeks to strengthen its position as a global investment destination amid economic uncertainty and shifting supply chains.
Ease Of Doing Business In States
The Prime Minister said states must improve the ease of doing business by simplifying rules and reducing unnecessary compliance requirements. He stressed that investors look not only at incentives but also at the overall experience of setting up and running businesses.
NITI Aayog officials also urged states to address “trouble spots” that affect investment decisions. The focus is on faster approvals, predictable rules and smoother coordination between departments.
States Asked To Attract Investment
PM Modi also asked states to make better use of India’s growing network of trade agreements to attract investment. He said states should align their policies with emerging global opportunities and position themselves as competitive investment hubs.
The Centre has been pushing deregulation and business reforms as part of its wider economic strategy. The latest advice signals that state-level reforms will remain central to India’s investment and growth plans.
