World Bank Ease of Doing Business rank

India improved from rank 142 (2014) to 63 (2020) out of 190 economies — the most improved large economy over this period. Key reforms: GST (single market), IBC (insolvency), e-courts, RERA, e-stamping, single-window clearances. World Bank discontinued the Doing Business report in 2021 after a data integrity review. A successor Business Ready report launched 2023 uses different methodology and is not directly comparable. For ongoing competitiveness, see PM Gati Shakti and National Single Window System metrics.
