The Gujarat government has launched a unified online portal to simplify and speed up permission approvals for film shoots across the state.
Gujarat's state administration has unveiled a single-window digital platform designed to streamline the issuance of permits for film shooting activities. The portal consolidates applications and clearances from various departments, allowing producers and location scouts to obtain all necessary approvals through a single online interface.
Officials highlighted that the new system will cut down on paperwork and reduce the time required to secure permissions, making Gujarat a more attractive destination for filmmakers. Users can submit their requests, monitor the status of their applications, and receive electronic certificates once approvals are granted.
The initiative is part of a broader effort by the state to boost its film‑friendly reputation, with expectations that increased shooting activity will generate economic benefits for local businesses and promote tourism.
The portal is accessible via the official Gujarat government website, and training sessions are being organized for industry stakeholders to familiarize them with the new process.
State authorities anticipate that the streamlined workflow will encourage both domestic and international productions to consider Gujarat as a viable shooting location.
