Highlighting the government's broader governance approach, he added, "Our focus remains on transitioning towards a 'Permitted Until Prohibited' ecosystem by removing long-standing regulatory hurdles and simplifying governance frameworks.

"He further said that legislative reforms are being expedited to streamline administrative processes. "While we are fast-tracking the Omnibus Ease of Doing Business Bill, 2026, to streamline approvals and simplify compliance, it is equally important to ensure that quality of service and safety standards are upheld across all sectors," he noted.

Referring to the guiding principle of reforms, Sandhu said, "Guided by the Prime Minister's vision of reducing compliance burden and improving ease of living for citizens, every procedural reform must translate into greater efficiency, transparency, and opportunity for the people of Delhi."
