India plans to set up a ‘National Business Register’ that could be periodically updated, the Statistics Ministry said on Wednesday.
The Ministry is embarking on the 7th Economic Census for all economic establishments. The field work is slated to commence in June, an official release said.
The aim of the Economic Census is not only to assess the nature and distribution of the establishments but to also form a National Business Register, it added. This will facilitate future establishment surveys undertaken by the Centre and State governments.
