He said the portal provides end-to-end regulatory clearances for industry, institutional projects, and services sectors, backed by a digitally tracked workflow, auto-escalations, and real-time status updates — ensuring investors never have to “run from pillar to post”. Thirdly, he said the state government has significantly expanded the scope of Right to Business Act and now if any industrialist is starting a project with an investment upto Rs 125 Crore then they won’t even have to wait for 45 days for approvals. Kejriwal said based on the self-declaration of industrialists, the government will give you in-Principle approvals within three days if the project is located in an industrial park but if the project is outside an industrial park, in-principle approvals in 15 days. Kejriwal said the approvals will be valid for 3.5 years in which time industry has to take requisite approvals, adding that this will benefit approximately 95 percent of project proposals in Punjab, including industry, IT units, hospitals, hotels, and educational institutions (excluding infrastructure projects, real estate and housing projects).
