AP government eases industrial approvals to cut delays
In Andhra Pradesh, starting a factory used to take a very long time.
Business owners had to finish one step before starting another, like getting land first and then asking for permission to build.
This made projects slow and sometimes cost extra money.
The state government has now changed the rules to make things faster.
Now, once a company gets an official document called the Final Allotment Order from APIIC, it can start the approval process.
This lets officials look at building plans, fire safety checks, and other permissions all at once.
The new rules cover things like Building Plan Approval and Fire NOC.
This change is part of a plan called Compliance Reduction and Deregulation Phase-II.
The goal is to help factories start working sooner and avoid unnecessary delays.
The Andhra Pradesh government has eased the approval process for industrial projects to reduce delays in grounding projects.
Under the Compliance Reduction and Deregulation Phase-II initiative, competent authorities can process clearances based on the Final Allotment Order issued by APIIC.
Covered permissions include Building Plan Approval, Fire NOC, Consent for Establishment (CFE), Consent for Operation (CFO) and Occupancy Certificates.
An APIIC assessment found industrial projects face delays because land allotment, possession and statutory approvals are processed sequentially.
Previously, entrepreneurs had to complete allotment, execute agreements and obtain possession before seeking approvals, often forcing them to pay extra fees.
