20,000 compliances simplified: Piyush Goyal

Commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal on Saturday said that the government has simplified almost 20,000 compliances and done away with 2,000 laws as part of ease of doing business.

“We are studying which all laws can be decriminalised,” Goyal said at the NICDC Investors Roundtable conference in Gujarat.

On the PM Gatishakti programme, he said 927 geospatial maps for national highways, power plants and industrial zones, among have have been made and 450 state maps on infrastructure data have been integrated with the ones made by the Centre.


“All these maps are interconnected,” Goyal said.

He also said that the National Logistics Policy will come soon.

Goyal, who is also the textiles minister, said that the proposal from Navsari to develop a mega textile park
called the MITRA park, was the best among the 13 proposals received. The government aims to setup seven PM Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel Parks in the country.
