India improved its position from 82nd to 57th in a global ranking measuring countries' performance in reducing anti-competitive market distortions, as published in a report on July 30, 2026. The 25-place jump reflects India's strengthened competition policy framework: amendments to the Competition Act 2002 (2022 amendment reducing merger review timelines and introducing deal-value threshold), Competition Commission of India (CCI)'s increased enforcement actions, digital market regulation, and SEBI's market integrity measures. India's improving ease of doing business and NITI Aayog's Investment Friendliness Index (Gujarat top) complement this global recognition.
