New Delhi, Aug 14 (IANS) Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Friday visited Bharatiya Vyapar Mahotsav 2026 and showcased reforms her government has initiated to improve ease of doing business.

Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said, “The Delhi government is also firmly standing with them in this hard work. Through reforms like the Single Window System, Self-Certification, and Deemed Approval, the old complex approval system is being simplified, so that the trader’s time is not spent chasing offices, but advancing their business and dreams.”
“On this occasion, MP Shri Praveen Khandelwal ji, along with All India Traders Federation National President Shri B.C. Bharatiya ji and many other distinguished guests, were present,” she said in a message on X.
The Chief Minister first addressed a gathering at Hall No. 5, then toured the exhibition and interacted with exhibitors, entrepreneurs, traders, startups, and industry representatives participating in the event.
