Civil Aviation Ministry Plans Automated, Decentralized NOC System with 15-Day Timeline
The Ministry of Civil Aviation, led by Minister Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu, is set to overhaul the No Objection Certificate (NOC) system for construction near airports. The plan includes automating approvals, reducing manual steps, and providing permissible building heights upfront, aiming for a 15-day timeline to finalize changes. The government is also considering decentralizing NOC issuance to Urban Local Bodies to streamline processes, particularly in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Hyderabad, while maintaining aviation safety standards.
