In a notice, Niti Aayog said the cost of doing business is a pivotal factor influencing the competitiveness of an economy, encompassing the expenses businesses incur to establish, operate and expand.
«For a rapidly growing economy like India understanding these costs is essential to fostering a conducive business environment and attracting investment.
»Despite India's significant reforms to improve its business climate, it faces strong competition from countries like Vietnam, China, and Indonesia, which offer lower operational costs in key sectors," it said.
According to the notice, in the wake of the pandemic, shifts in global trade, investment, and supply chains, coupled with growing concerns about economic and supply chain security led to strategies like China+1, compelling countries like India to implement bold measures to attract foreign direct investment (FDI).
