Several countries seek to withdraw investments from China. But has India taken the right steps to leverage the advantage that is on offer? Not necessarily. Some states have gone ahead with the suspension of certain labour laws to become attractive for investments. But are labour laws the primary inhibiting factor in promoting investment?

Anil Swarup has served as the head of the Project Monitoring Group (PMG), which is currently under the Prime Minister’s Office.
