Keralam to Amend Laws for Faster Industrial Approval Process
The Keralam government plans to amend laws to expedite industrial approvals through the 'One State, One Approval, One Document' system, aiming to reduce delays in clearances. The Simplified and Accelerated Regulatory Approvals and Licensing Scheme (SARK) includes legal amendments, rule changes, and revised land-use provisions. Approvals will remain subject to departmental scrutiny but within fixed timeframes. District-level investments up to ₹25 crore will have local approval, while higher amounts require state-level clearance. Environmental procedures will continue unchanged, reflecting the government's sensitivity to ecological concerns.
