Telangana has achieved the number one position in the country in Ease of Doing Business in 2016 but that seems to have led to complacency in the government departments. In the review meeting on this, Minister KTR was shocked as out of 406 reforms that were initiated last year, 141 have not been completed.
Seventeen departments are still to implement the reforms. Telangana government boasts of its single window clearance system called TSiPass, which promises that all industrial approvals will be granted in 15 days. But in some departments, there are still delays in granting permissions.
Officials themselves admitted before the ministers that it will be really tough to retain its top spot this year. Andhra Pradesh and Telangana shared the Top Stop in the country in Ease of Doing Business the last year. It has to be seen what they do this year.
