Bihar Government Mandates 30-Day Approval for Industrial Investment Proposals
The Bihar government has introduced a policy mandating that approvals for industrial investment proposals be granted within 30 days. If departments fail to decide within this period, the State Investment Promotion Board (SIPB) Secretariat can issue legally binding 'deemed clearances' that cannot be overturned. This reform, approved by the state cabinet and announced by Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, aims to simplify procedures, enhance transparency, and accelerate industrial growth and employment in Bihar through a single-window system.
