Government Drives Ease of Doing Business via District BRAP

22 Dec 2025 CW Team

The Government of India is advancing Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) reforms by extending the Business Reforms Action Plan (BRAP) to the district level through the launch of the District Business Reform Action Plan (D-BRAP). Implemented by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), the initiative recognises that businesses interact most frequently with district authorities for approvals, inspections and services.

D-BRAP 2025 provides a structured framework to strengthen last-mile service delivery across District Collectorates, Development Authorities and Urban Local Bodies. A total of 154 reforms have been identified, supported by a detailed implementation guidebook and assessment checklists to ensure uniform adoption and monitoring across districts. The reforms span six focus areas, including digitisation of land and property records, time-bound inspections, district-level investment facilitation, start-up promotion in Tier-II and Tier-III cities, and strengthening industrial parks and local infrastructure.

District Industry Centres (DICs) have been positioned as the primary investor facilitation points, with emphasis on digital readiness, trained manpower and performance tracking. The plan also promotes MSMEs and start-ups through institutional linkages, credit facilitation and district-level Startup Cells. The initiative aims to build predictable, competitive and investor-friendly district ecosystems across States and Union Territories.
