Bhubaneswar: Odisha Capital ranks 5th in Starting a Business, 9th in Paying Taxes in India as per World Bank report. Bhubaneswar has been placed behind Ludhiana and Hyderabad as the most sought after city to do business.
India for the first time moved into the top 100 in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business global rankings on the back of sustained business reforms over the past several years. This was announced by the World Bank Group’s latest Doing Business 2018: Reforming to Create Jobs report. Last year the report had ranked India at 130.
The report also recognizes India as one of the top 10 improvers in this year’s assessment, having implemented reforms in 8 out of 10 Doing Business indicators. India is the only large country this year to have achieved such a significant shift. On the “distance to frontier metric,” one of the key indicators in the survey, India’s score went from 56.05 in Doing Business 2017 to 60.76 in Doing Business 2018. This means last year India improved its business regulations in absolute terms – indicating that the country is continuing its steady shift towards best practice in business regulation.
Marking its 15th anniversary, the report notes that India has adopted 37 reforms since 2003. Nearly half of these reforms have been implemented in the last four years. The report captures reforms implemented in 190 countries in the period June 2, 2016 to June 1, 2017.
