Kerala Cabinet Approves Saral Keralam to Speed Investment Approvals

The Kerala Cabinet approved a new plan called Saral Keralam.

The plan is designed to make investment approvals faster and simpler.

Investors will use one main approval process and one document.

District bodies will handle investments between Rs 25 crore and Rs 50 crore.

State-level authorities will handle investments above Rs 50 crore.

Government departments will still check proposals, but they must respond within set deadlines.

The Kerala State Industrial Development Corporation will coordinate the process.

Investors can appeal if a department objects to a proposal.

The government says the plan will help prevent proposals from waiting for several years.
