<h1>Chief minister orders fewer permits, faster approvals, AI online building permissions and single-window clearances to boost investment</h1> The state chief minister directed officials to cut the number of permissions required to set up new industries and shorten approval timelines to boost investment. Officials were asked to create an AI-based online system for automated building permissions and a single-window mechanism for consolidated clearances. Green-category industries should be exempt from multiple permissions for an initial period with later renewals. Improved coordination between district administrations and state departments was mandated to speed application disposal and reduce project delays. The measures aim to strengthen the state's industrial competitiveness and attract greater investment.
