Our Assessment
Reviewed 10 October 2026. Partially Done is retained. The manifesto promises the number-one Ease of Doing Business ranking, not only additional reform approvals. Invest UP reports Top Achiever category results under the Business Reforms Action Plan and documents reform implementation. This is meaningful progress, but a category shared with other states does not verify a unique overall number-one rank. Its separate first-place result for Deregulation 1.0 in 2024 is not interchangeable with the promised overall Ease of Doing Business ranking. On 9 October 2026, Cabinet approved Model Building Regulations 2026 for industrial development authority areas, intended to simplify building-map and plot approvals. The decision is relevant enabling evidence. Implementation, reduced processing times and a resulting improvement in the relevant ranking are not yet verified. No quantified financial impact has been established, so the promise-level budget field remains unknown. Confidence stays medium: official records corroborate reforms and category achievements, while the newest decision is reported by news agencies and does not establish the exact ranking outcome.
The reasoning behind the verdict
Why this assessment?
Reviewed
01 · Delivery status
Why partially done?
Implemented business reforms and Top Achiever results show meaningful progress. The specific promise of number one in Ease of Doing Business is still unverified. The 9 October building-regulation approval adds relevant reform evidence but does not deliver that ranking, so Partially Done is retained.
A Top Achiever category and first place in a separate deregulation exercise are different measures. The verdict follows the manifesto's stated ranking outcome.
02 · Strength of evidence
Why medium confidence?
Invest UP provides official reform and ranking-category information. Agency reporting supports the October Cabinet decision. A comparable overall first-place result and measured outcomes from the new regulations are missing, keeping confidence medium.
What would help us reassess?
The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.
- The relevant official Ease of Doing Business result identifying a comparable overall number-one position for UP
- The notified Model Building Regulations 2026 and implementation dates across industrial development authorities
- Before-and-after approval times, application outcomes and independent business-user evidence
- Clear methodology distinguishing BRAP categories, deregulation results and the promised overall ranking
