The assessment by the knowledge domain service provider was done using a scoring framework made up of two key constructs -- Policy and Infrastructure Readiness (PIR) Score and Mission Mode Projects' Performance (MMP) Score for each state, it said.
Chhattisgarh (97.4) and Karnataka (95.3) occupied the fourth and fifth positions in the list, respectively, the company said in a release.
"A higher score means that the concerned state or the UT has fared better as compared to others. To better the score and ranking, a state not only has to do good but it must also do better," said Kapil Dev Singh, CEO, Coeus Age Consulting.
The assessment is based on 109 key performance indicators related to policy, infrastructure and mission mode projects, the release said.
