However, Madhya Pradesh ranked 20 in the overall list, followed by Jammu and Kashmir at No. 21, while Goa occupied 24th, Bihar 26th and Kerala at 28th spots. Tripura ranked 36th position at the bottom.

"India is seen taking the reform process seriously which showed when foreign direct investment in the country increased even during the COVID-19 pandemic, amid what was called world's strictest lockdown," Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said.

Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal, who also holds the Railways portfolio, said the exercise promotes competition among states to boost the business environment to attract domestic and foreign investments.
