BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said that India's jump in World Bank's ranking on ease of doing business has become possible because of Modi government's hard work.
Here’s what’s happening across the border: IMF and World Bank have some crucial suggestions for Pakistan to alter economic landscape; President’s house lit up pink to promote breast cancer awareness.
Air India’s new policy, effective from 2 May, introduces new weight limits for tickets in each of the different 'fare families' — Comfort, Comfort Plus, and Flex.
New Delhi has, in past, too, objected to Chinese construction activities in Shaksgam Valley. Work in this strategic region gathered pace after the 2017 Doklam stand-off.

I honestly don’t know how this Ease of Doing Business Index is compiled. Apparently it covers only Delhi and Bombay, has some anodyne stuff like getting an electricity connection, issue of construction permits – the mother of all rent seeking endeavours in India -, the time taken to register a business. None of my businessmen friends has a happy story to tell, even if one strips out the disruption caused by demonisation and GST. 2. On a more substantive note, Delhi and Bombay have never been further apart. I remember the Make in India event, India’s top tycoons flying in in their personal jets, a splashy presentation and manufacturing remains as flat as a chapati. Whatever may have been the initial expectations, industrialists as a class have had no discernible impact on public policy formulation, on the trajectory the Indian economy has taken. They have always been a diffident lot, afraid to speak with candour even on the Union Budget. Today there is a total communication gap; the loss is India’s.
