Gujarat tops NITI Aayog's 1st Investment Friendliness Index 2026

Gandhinagar, Jul 18:Gujarat has emerged as India's most investment-friendly state, securing the top rank in NITI Aayog's inaugural Investment Friendliness Index 2026 with a score of 56.6, ahead of Maharashtra (53.7) and Tamil Nadu (53.3). The index, which assessed 17 major states across 84 indicators under eight pillars, evaluates the entire investment lifecyclefrom policy and governance to infrastructure, business facilitation and fiscal management. The ranking reinforces Gujarat's position as a preferred destination for domestic and global investors. The report attributes Gujarat's performance to its stable policy environment and investor-centric governance. It highlights the role of the Industrial Extension Bureau (iNDEXTb), whose single-window facilitation system streamlines approvals and provides end-to-end support for investors. A time-bound mechanism for obtaining statutory clearances and No Objection Certificates (NOCs) has also helped reduce project delays. The index further notes that restrictions on strikes in essential services have contributed to industrial peace, providing businesses with a stable operating environment. Gujarat's industrial infrastructure is cited as one of its strongest advantages. Investment hubs such as Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR), GIFT City, Sanand, Dahej, Jhagadia and Saykha offer plug-and-play facilities that enable industries to establish operations quickly while reducing project costs and execution time. The report also credits the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit for attracting substantial domestic and international investment commitments, strengthening the state's global investment profile. On logistics and connectivity, Gujarat accounts for nearly 10 per cent of India's state highway networkalmost four times the national averageand has the country's highest estimated expressway length at 635 kilometres. Nearly 7 per cent of India's railway network passes through the state, contributing to efficient logistics and stronger supply chain competitiveness. The index identifies affordable and reliable power as another key advantage. Industrial electricity tariffs in Gujarat are nearly 29 per cent lower than the national average, while industries receive an average daily power supply of 23.8 hours, helping lower operating costs and improve productivity. The report also highlights Gujarat's strong economic fundamentals. The state contributes 31 per cent of India's merchandise exports and recorded the third-highest Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) growth among states during FY2019-24. Its per capita GSDP stands at

Speaker Birla approves merger of rebel SS(UBT) with Shinde-led Shiv Sena; rebel TMC MPs to sit separately

New Delhi, July 18: Ahead of the Monsoon session, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Saturday approved the merger of six Shiv Sena (UBT) MPs with the Shiv Sena led by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and allowed separate seating for the 20 rebel TMC lawmakers, who have joined a little-known party, NCPI. Official sources said that with the merger of the six MPs, the strength of the Shiv Sena has gone up to 13. The TMC rebel groups of 20 MPs will seat separately, away from the parent party, the sources said. No final decision has been taken on the demand of the rebel TMC MPs to be recognised as part of the Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI), and the matter is still under consideration, they said. The TMC and Shiv Sena (UBT) had demanded the disqualification of the rebel MPs. The rebel TMC MPs are also likely to attend Sunday's all-party meeting. The Lok Sabha Speaker had earlier met a TMC delegation headed by its leader Abhishek Banerjee as well as the party's breakaway group. A similar exercise was also carried out with regard to the Shiv Sena (UBT). Consultations with legal and constitutional experts of Parliament were carried out and they provided their inputs to the Speaker to help him take the final decisions, sources said. The decisions came two days ahead of the monsoon session of Parliament, which will begin on July 20 Past precedents, decisions taken by the former speakers of Lok Sabha and chairmen of Rajya Sabha in similar situations were also examined before taking the informed and legally sound decisions, the sources said, adding Constitutional and legal aspects were looked into. Besides the rebel groups of the TMC and Shiv Sena (UBT), the DMK also sought a separate seating arrangement, away from the Congress, after the principal opposition party broke its decades-old alliance with the Tamil Nadu party and joined hands with the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay's party TVK. This demand is also likely to be accepted by the Speaker. Altogether, 29 MPs got elected to the Lok Sabha on TMC tickets in the 2024 general election. As many as 20 MPs broke away from the party and joined NCPI, a registered unrecognised political party headquartered in Howrah, West Bengal, and sought separate seating arrangement. The rebel group also expressed their allegiance to the Narendra Modi government and their desire to join the ruling NDA. One TMC MP passed away some time ago and the seat remains vacant. In case of Shiv Sena (UBT), a total of nine MPs got elected on party tickets, of which six have joined the rival Shiv Sena, headed by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. Both the TMC and Shiv Sena (UBT) argued before the Speaker that their rebel MPs should be disqualified as the defections fall under the anti-defection law. The two parties argued that the anti-defection law may not be applicable only if two-thirds of the entire party walk away from its fold. TMC general secretary and its Lok Sabha leader Abhishek Banerjee demanded before Birla that the rebels should be disqualified. He also said the claims of the rebels that they 'merged' with the NCPI were not valid, and as per the law, two-thirds of the entire party must merge with another party, not just individual legislators. Banerjee had also submitted before the Speaker 20 separate petitions against the 20 rebels seeking their disqualification. Shiv Sena (UBT) had also met Birla and urged him to share the demands submitted to him by the six rebel MPs of the party who have now joined the Eknath Shinde-led party. Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Anil Desai had said that they conveyed to the Speaker that the Tenth Schedule is clear: Any group of a legislature party cannot merge into some other party on its own, even if they have a two-thirds majority. On July 14, Sudip Bandyopadhyay and Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, leaders of the rebel TMC, met the Speaker and discussed with him seating arrangements for the party's 20 MPs in the Lower House. They also discussed the allotment of a party office in the new Parliament building, the sources said.

Preferring seclusion over inclusion

Despite improvement in security scenario in Kashmir, politicians continue to stay away from the common people and seem least interested in reaching out to the voters who elected them. The moot question they need to answer is, why do they prefer seclusion over inclusion? The growing perception seems that mainstream politics in Kashmir has drifted away from addressing everyday concerns of the common man and has got caught in a quagmire of issues that have little direct bearing on the lives of denizens in the Valley. Its a well-established fact that times have changed and there is no room left for emotional speeches and lip service. People want results. A common man wants to know what have the MLAs, whom he voted for in 2024, done for him. They want their elected representatives to speak up and be accountable to them. However, a large section of the people continues to feel alienatednot merely from governments, but from politics itself. Primary Responsibility The primary responsibility of any elected representative is simple: to improve the lives of the people who elected them. Employment, education, healthcare, infrastructure, investment, tourism, agriculture, business opportunities and transparent governance should dominate the political discourse. Unfortunately, many believe these issues often receive less attention than they deserve. Its strange that politicians in Kashmir leave no opportunity to give their opinion on any international issue that has nothing to do with the lives of the common people living in the Valley. Politicians frequently issue statements on conflicts in distant regions, geopolitical developments or global ideological debates. They need to realize that voters reasonably expect their elected representatives to devote the bulk of their time and political capital to solving the problems faced by the people whom they represent. Stark Contrast There is a stark contrast between the leaders of other regions in the country and the politicians hailing from Kashmir. Regional leaders largely focus on their respective states. Political leaders in West Bengal primarily concentrate on Bengals economy, education, healthcare and industries. Leaders in Maharashtra debate Maharashtras infrastructure and investment. Tamil Nadus politics revolves around issues affecting Tamil Nadu. For them governance remains rooted in local priorities. However, in Kashmir local politicians believe that if they dont issue statements on international developments, they might miss the bus. It seems they are unaware about the fact that their pep talk on the international issues has no takers. They need to understand that problems in the world cannot be solved by the people of Kashmir and Kashmiris have got nothing to do with these issues. Commentators on global affairs Mainstream leaders who stand elected to represent Kashmir often sound more like commentators on global affairs than advocates for local governance. Europe, Gaza, the United States and the Middle East dominate their rhetoric, while unemployment, development and the aspirations of Kashmirs youth dont get the same sustained attention. They are worried about the world despite being elected from Kashmir. Not many opposition leaders have posed any questions to the National Conference Government after it took over the reins in 2024. It appears that none of the Kashmir based leaders want to annoy the Chief Minister and his cabinet colleagues by asking direct and tough questions. Anyway, its their call. They need to remember people are watching and voters cannot be misled every time. Unemployment as challenge Local leaders seem to have forgotten that the unemployment crisis remains one of Kashmirs biggest challenges. Thousands of educated young men and women complete their degrees every year with hopes of securing meaningful employment. Instead, many spend years preparing for competitive examinations, waiting for recruitment notifications or seeking opportunities outside Jammu and Kashmir. This prolonged uncertainty has left the youth exasperated, many of whom feel that political promises made during elections rarely translate into tangible outcomes. Governance is not about creating hope during election campaigns alone; it is about delivering results after assuming office. Public trust is built through execution rather than rhetoric. Eye-opener events The political developments in Bangladesh and Nepal should serve as an eye-opener for Kashmirs mainstream leadership. In both countries, widespread public frustration with the political establishment eventually erupted into mass protests, driven by perceptions of poor governance, unfulfilled promises, economic hardship and a widening disconnect between rulers and the people. These events demonstrated that public patience has limits. No political leadership can remain insulated from popular sentiment if it consistently fails to address the aspirations of its citizens. The lesson for Kashmir is clear: legitimacy is earned through performance, accountability and public trustnot through political rhetoric or past electoral victories. Responsible politics requires honesty Responsible politics requires honesty. Citizens appreciate leaders who explain constraints while offering realistic solutions more than those who repeatedly make promises that cannot be implemented. They lose faith on the leaders who just hide behind the excuses. Kashmiri leaders must recognise that todays youth are more informed than ever before. Through digital media, they compare opportunities available across India and the world. They expect performance, transparency and accountability. Emotional narratives that may have dominated previous generations are no longer sufficient for a generation seeking careers, innovation and financial stability. Politicians must focus on implementation rather than delivering sermons. Relationship between citizens and their representatives should be based on trust. Trust grows when leaders spend more time listening than lecturing, more time solving than speaking and more time delivering than promising. People of Kashmir deserve an era in which governance takes precedence over grandstanding, development over distraction and public welfare over political theatre. Sheikh Khalid Jehangir is a policy analyst, Director of the International Centre for Peace Studies (ICPS), former Vice Chairman of JKPCC, and the BJPs 2019 Lok Sabha candidate from Srinagar.
