India Seatrade reported that the CAG’s first integrated audit reports on small-business reforms and logistics are expected in December.
Subramanian spoke to reporters Thursday, Nov. 12, according to India Seatrade. NDTV Profit separately reported, citing official sources, that the reports are expected during Parliament’s winter session. The government had not announced dates for the next session as of Friday, Nov. 13, Hindustan Times reported.
In a Jan. 29, 2026, release, the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) said its Pan-India Horizontal Audit on Ease of Doing Business for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) was underway. The review is checking whether efforts to reduce compliance requirements and deregulate are producing results across central, state and local government offices. Comptroller and Auditor General K Sanjay Murthy said regulatory burdens can make it harder for firms to compete and for industry to expand.
A CAG release dated Nov. 21, 2025, described a multimodal transport and logistics audit led by the Railway Audit Wing. Its scope included nine Railway Zones, three ministries, logistics-related Railway public-sector undertakings and selected origin-destination pairs. The CAG also listed the National Rail Plan, logistics operations, digitization and regulatory conditions among the review topics. The release scheduled a related report for Parliament’s Monsoon Session in 2026.
India Seatrade reported that the December logistics report is expected to cover railways, shipping and road transport. The relationship between that report and the one scheduled earlier, as well as the earlier report’s status, is unverified. The December expectation follows Subramanian’s briefing; Parliament’s winter-session dates had not been announced as of Nov. 13, according to Hindustan Times.
