EDBIS: Ease of Doing Business in Indian States | IIMA

About IIMA-EDBIS

The ease of doing business encompasses a variety of dimensions that facilitate the development of private sector capabilities. In the Indian context, policies at the state level play a pivotal role in shaping the region's business environment. A favourable policy environment not only encourages the establishment of new companies and the growth of existing ones but also creates quality employment opportunities and promotes the transition from informal to formal business practices.

The 'Ease of Doing Business In Indian States' launched by the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, is a crucial initiative to benchmark the business policy and infrastructure across different states and union territories of India. The project's primary objective is to assess various state policies and laws that foster a favourable business environment. This comprehensive assessment of business sentiment complemented with trade and production statistics, administrative framework and policy implementation details, along with other relevant data, is designed to empower companies, investors, and policymakers with the tools to make informed policy and investment decisions.
