Karnataka has bagged the ‘Top Achiever’ position under the implementation of the ‘Ease of Doing Business’ ranking of States/Union Territories released by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) of the Centre on Thursday.
This is the State’s best performance under the EoDB ranking since the inception of this assessment. Karnataka improved its position from 17th to the ‘Top Achiever’ rank along with Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Haryana, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana.
Last year, after 100% implementation of 187 reforms suggested by the DPIIT, Karnataka faced a drastic fall in the State’s ranking from 8th position in 2017 to 17th position in 2019.
