<h1>State expands district collectors' statutory and administrative powers to implement 154 business reforms under District Business Reform Action Plan 2025</h1> The state government announced that district collectors will receive expanded statutory and administrative powers to implement the District Business Reform Action Plan 2025, encompassing 154 reforms to be executed between August 15, 2025 and August 14, 2026. Divisional committees and review camps will oversee implementation, with divisional commissioners assigned sectoral mandates and reports due by December 31. Reforms target land and building approvals, labour regulation, utilities, inspections and regulatory simplification, supported by a unified single-window platform (MAITRI 2.0). The state's prior high Ease of Doing Business scores underpin the plan; enforcement, delegation of authority and timelines raise administrative-law and governance compliance considerations.
