The Rajasthan government, led by Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, is taking steps to enhance ease of doing business and living standards by reducing unnecessary regulations. The state is simplifying rules in various sectors like land use, construction, labor, and business licensing. Under Chief Secretary V. Srinivas’ guidance, an action plan has been finalized to streamline processes.
To expedite procedures, the government will adopt the Andhra Pradesh model to cut down on delays, especially in land conversion requirements. Amendments are being considered in building regulations to allow mixed land-use development, with clear definitions of prohibited activities for transparency.
Efforts are underway to optimize industrial land use, promote affordable housing for workers, and encourage public-private partnerships for infrastructure development. The government plans to update building bylaws and fire safety regulations to align with global standards, including simplifying approval processes through designated nodal agencies.
Moreover, the government aims to introduce lifetime registration for shops, simplify licensing for weighing instruments, and facilitate faster access to electricity connections. To attract more industrial investments, the single-window clearance system will be strengthened, and a state-level directory of testing facilities for MSMEs will be established.
In a bid to enhance governance transparency, the government is considering legislative reforms based on a draft from the Central government, tailored to Rajasthan’s needs. Notably, previous initiatives like the Rajasthan Public Trust Act amendments are being expanded in the State Budget for 2026–27 to further promote trust-based governance.
