Why it matters
This legislation represents a major effort to streamline industrial and commercial operations in India's capital, potentially boosting economic growth and reducing administrative friction.
The Delhi Cabinet has approved the Delhi Ease of Doing Business Bill, 2026 , to bring fundamental changes to the existing process for obtaining approvals, registrations, licences and other clearances for enterprises in Delhi, the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) said on Wednesday.
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said the most important feature of the proposed law would be a single-window system, under which a simple and user-friendly online system will be created where businesses can apply for approvals, registrations, no-objection certificates, consents, licences and other requirements related to their operations.
“This will also include services such as building plans, fire-related approvals, and water, sewer and electricity connections. Citizens and businesses will no longer need to visit different government offices and submit separate applications,” an official statement said.
The Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (DSIIDC) will be made the single nodal agency for all business approvals through this single-window system.
