Clearance to New Industries within 24 Hrs, says Collector K Bhaskar

Eluru: West Godavari Collector K Bhaskar has instructed officials to give clearances to new industries within 24 hours of applying for permission.

Participating in a review meeting on industries, he said there were instances wherein even the major industries were given clearance in two days because of coordination among officials.

The Collector directed the officials not to delay permission to industries by showing petty reasons. As the enthusiastic entrepreneurs apply online, the officials can sort out them and clear permissions immediately. 

As a result of this, more and more enthusiasts would come forward to establish industries in the district.

He informed that after introducing single window system for clearances, the administration had given permission to establish about 2,000 small industries so far. 

As against applications for 154 major industries, the administration verified about 150 applications and forwarded the proposals for state-level clearance, he added.
