      Hi Pooja
      Mention your payment id.
      Your answer looks monotonus, avoid writing in long paragraphs, write in points or a mix of points and small paragraphs.
      Give proper headings and subheadings to present your answer in a better structured manner.
      Leave proper space between the paragraphs.
      In the challenges, you can write that campaigns such as Make in India and Start up India have helped to enhance the business ecosystem in the country. However, electricity shortages and high prices, credit constraints, high unit labour costs due to labour regulations, political interference and other regulatory burdens continue to remain challenges for firm growth of the industrial sector in India.
      Work on content, read comprehensively to enrich it.
