Overview

• Released on August 24, the flagship blueprint consolidates more than 250 actionable recommendations across 14 policy areas as a live guide for policymakers, and the proposals have not been adopted.
• Public sector and regulatory proposals include privatisation of non-strategic PSEs, creation of a Sovereign Wealth Fund, and mandatory regulatory impact assessments.
• Ease of doing business and factor market measures call for decriminalising minor violations, time-bound single-window clearances, second-generation IBC reforms, digitised land titling, streamlined labour codes, and a national minimum wage framework.
• Energy, tax, trade, and judicial recommendations span competitive power tariffs with reduced cross-subsidies, private participation in nuclear power, a green hydrogen roadmap, GST simplification with modernised customs, stronger FTA provisions, an e-commerce export strategy, and faster dispute resolution.
• Manufacturing, MSME, jobs, and urban priorities target support for mid-sized firms and industrial corridors, phased compliance with deeper Udyam integration, a second-tier patent system, a National Employment Policy with a gig economy framework, and stronger municipal finances with affordable housing.
