As the Minister for Large and Medium Industries, I am really happy to see the fructification of our efforts to enhance ease-of-doing business through this new Single Window System. The system has been designed to address the entire life-cycle of the investor’s journey with the state – starting from all the information needed to make an investment decision to conveniently facilitating all the necessary approvals/clearances/NOCs needed to get the industry operational. In the months ahead, we would also enable the investors to apply for their incentives & rebates on the system itself.
We are extremely thankful to many eminent industrialists, industry associations and existing investors who provided us with vital inputs and requirements for this system. The Single Window System will empower the leadership in the government & the individual departments with real-time dashboards to identify and remove bottlenecks that impact investor services. This will help us to continuously reducing the SAKALA timelines for delivery of various investor services and ensuring that we remain a leader in attracting investments.
