| Summary: | The World Bank interviewed a
representative sample of the private sector in India. The
sample consisted of 9281 business establishments surveyed
from June 2013 and December 2014. The Enterprise Survey
covers several aspects of the business environment as well
as performance measures for each firm. This report presents
following highlights from the survey: firms are performing
relatively well in terms of employment growth despite poor
annual sales growth; the quality of electricity provision
varies widely across states and territories; corruption
levels vary significantly across locations in India; Indian
firms outperform comparator countries in the use of
technology but lag behind China and Turkey; half of Indian
firms report competing against unregistered or informal
firms; and the Indian private sector considers corruption
and electricity as their biggest obstacles. |
