Government Digitises Green Clearance Compliance for Industrial Projects

The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change has digitised the compliance process for environmental clearances through the PARIVESH portal, aiming to reduce paperwork and speed up approvals for industrial expansion. Under the new system, industries can file compliance reports online, upload mandatory documents, and track approval status through a single platform. Officials said the move will streamline the process and reduce procedural delays for businesses requiring environmental and ecological clearances. For MSMEs planning plant expansion or new units, this development can improve ease of doing business by making regulatory approvals more transparent and time-efficient. It is expected to reduce compliance burden and support faster project execution across industrial clusters.
