Releasing the report titled ‘Empowering India-Redesigning G2B Relations Tamil Nadu’ at its national executive committee meeting here, Ficci said the state has to focus on easing the process of doing business by adopting computerisation of its processes and making them available online.

Inviting investors, industries minister P. Thangamani reiterated the commitment of the government to “establish strong and vibrant Tamil Nadu as new growth model in India’’.
