The project envisages setting up a government-to-business (G2B) portal to serve as a one-stop shop for delivery of convenient and efficient services and addresses the needs of investors and businesses right from the inception through the entire life cycle of the business.
"The next seven years called expansion phase, the portal will be run on PPP basis through a business model approved for the project. In this phase, the project will be expanded to cover the whole country and to provide over 200 G2B services and other value added services by suitable private vendors," the Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion (DIPP) said.
The other services to be integrated include application for environment clearance, approval for diversion of forest land for non-forest purposes under Section 2 of the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980, issue of import export license of goods for restricted items and issuance of Entrepreneurs Memorandum part 1 and part 2.
