The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) is in the final stages of preparing a national framework for a Global Capability Center (GCC) policy aimed at accelerating the growth of the sector, particularly in tier-II and III cities.

The proposed framework seeks to provide a single-window experience for investors, reduce regulatory friction, ensure ease of doing business and enable plug-and-play infrastructure across metros as well as smaller cities.

According to CII, the framework includes several recommendations. Key among them is the creation of a legislatively-backed National GCC Council to guide strategy, ensure cross-ministry coordination, and promote Centre-state alignment.
