The Gujarat government has instructed its departments to flag any obstacles in ongoing investment projects within the next 15 days, aiming to accelerate project clearance.
The state administration of Gujarat has issued a directive to all its departments to report any bottlenecks affecting investment projects within a 15‑day window. The move is part of a broader effort to streamline approvals and attract greater private capital into the state.
Officials are required to submit detailed lists of pending issues, ranging from land acquisition delays to regulatory clearances, to the chief minister's office. The compiled data will be reviewed by a task force that will prioritize remedial actions.
State officials said the initiative is expected to reduce project lead times and improve Gujarat's ranking as a business‑friendly destination. The deadline underscores the government's commitment to maintaining momentum on infrastructure and industrial growth.
The directive follows recent announcements of multi‑billion‑rupee investments in sectors such as manufacturing, renewable energy, and logistics, which have been earmarked for the upcoming fiscal year.
Stakeholders, including industry bodies and investors, have welcomed the step, noting that quicker resolution of administrative hurdles can translate into faster project execution and job creation.
