INTRODUCTION
Q1 What is ease of doing business ranking?
The ease of doing business index is an index created jointly by Simeon Djankov and Gerhard Pohl, two leading economists at the World Bank Group. The academic research for the report was done jointly with professors Oliver Hart and Andrei Shleifer. Higher rankings (a low numerical value) indicate better, usually simpler, regulations for businesses and stronger protections of property rights.
Q2 Who conducts the ease of doing business index?
World Bank
Q3 What is the current EODB Index for India?
63
Q4 What position does Narendra Modi wants as the prime minister of India to be our country in the table
Under 50
Q5 Does NITI AAYOG comes out with a state level EODB ranking
Yes
The annual ranking, in 2019, evaluated States on an 80-point check-list of reforms across 12 broad areas.
Q6 Do you think that there exist a correlation between ease of doing business and the flow of Investment
There is hardly any correlation between the ranking and flow of investments. According to Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) data, Tamil Nadu got 15.9 per cent of all investments as of the third quarter of FY21. Its EoDB ranking in 2019 was 14. Maharashtra, which came next with 9.8 per cent share, was ranked 13 and Gujarat with 8.6 per cent was ranked 10 while Karnataka with the same share was 17 in the EoDB pecking order. Andhra Pradesh (AP), which tops the EoDB ranking, got only 6.8 per cent of the investment flow while Uttar Pradesh, ranked second, got 5.3 per cent share and Telangana just 4.3 per cent though ranked third in Ease of Doing Business.
Q7 Does it stands true for global ranking and investment
India, despite its poor World Bank EoDB ranking of 142 in 2014, was the ninth largest recipient of foreign direct investment (FDI). By 2019, it had dramatically improved its ranking to 63 but it still continued to be ninth in the FDI sweepstakes.
Q8 What are the factors which are contributing to global investment in India?
Global investors came to India because of its attractiveness as a large market with a burgeoning middle-class and a production cost that was far lower thanQ9 mature economies.
Q9 Which country topped the FDI inflows
Ans China tops when it comes to FDI flows taking in $141 billion in 2019 despite being ranked 31 while New Zealand, No 1 in the EoDB ranking, managed FDI of just $5.4 billion, a tenth of what India got.
Q10 Why Tamil Nadu topped the flow of investment
What role does infrastructure plays in the development of FDI
The necessary building blocks. It has good connectivity: three ports near Chennai alone, more than one international airport and a strong road network. It has the necessary eco-system, especially the vendor base. Auto majors such as Ford, Hyundai, Renault, Nissan, Ashok Leyland and BMW, which have set up their manufacturing facilities in and around Chennai, get almost all their supplies from within a 100-kilometre radius of their plants.

Role of Infrastructure
A top rank without the basic infrastructure — connectivity, strong eco-system, skilled manpower and lower cost of production — is of no use to the investor, domestic or foreign.
