Patna: In a significant move to boost industrial growth and ensure investor-friendly governance, the Bihar government has implemented a Single-Window System in the state’s Industry Department. The system, launched after the adoption of the state’s Industrial Policy, allows investors to access all approvals, incentives, and information online, eliminating the need to visit multiple offices.
One-Stop Digital Portal for Investors
Under this system, the department’s online portal provides comprehensive information on land allotment, subsidy distribution, inspections, and other essential industrial procedures. Investors can submit applications for necessary approvals in one place and track their progress in real time, ensuring transparency and timely execution.
Digitization of Key Industrial Processes
The department has digitized critical processes, including online land bidding and allotment, with provisions such as a 50% concessional rate for Biada land. Similarly, claims for incentives like subsidies and tax refunds are now managed through the online portal, where eligibility, application status, and approval details are fully transparent. A dashboard has also been established to monitor the progress of all projects, allowing officials to address delays immediately.
Minister Highlights Transparency and Efficiency
Dr. Dilip Kumar Jaiswal, Bihar’s Industry Minister, said that the new system strengthens transparency and good governance in the department. He emphasized that the Single-Window System provides a one-stop platform for investors to apply for all necessary approvals, with strict timelines for processing applications.
Part of Bihar’s Broader Industrial Push
This initiative is part of Bihar’s broader efforts under the “Saat Nischay 3” mission to attract investment, promote industrial development, and generate employment opportunities across the state. The state’s industrial policy focuses on enhancing investment ease, infrastructure support, and digital governance. With the Single-Window System and online portals, Bihar aims to attract maximum industrial projects while providing investors a streamlined, transparent, and efficient process.
