Single window clearance mechanism in manufacturing to spur industrial growth

“The incentives enunciated in the National Manufacturing Policy (NMP) can be availed of by any industrial cluster which is based on a model of self-regulation through a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV),” explained Anand Sharma, Minister of Commerce, Industry and Textiles while addressing State Chief Secretaries and Industry Secretaries on Manufacturing. “This should address the concerns of the States that are not in position to earmark the land needed for National Manufacturing and Investment Zones,” he adds.
The Government of India has already notified nine such Townships along the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor with a minimum land area of 5,000 hectares after a strong demand from the concerned State Governments. “For the first time, an effective single window clearance mechanism has been established for this Policy which will enable industrial units to obtain, at one place, various regulatory clearances including those relating to labour and environment” said the Minister.
National Manufacturing Policy announced in October last year aims to raise the share of manufacturing to 25 per cent in the GDP and creating 100 million productive jobs in this sector within a decade.
