Introduction of e-Nivesh

Project Motoring Group in Cabinet Secretariat has set up an online digital platform (e-Nivesh) through which it proposes to monitor the processing of 88 different types clearances / approvals granted by various Central Government Ministries/Department. The exact number of clearances required by investor depends on a number of factors including investment in plant & machinery, member and class of employees, and the sector concerned.

 Out of the 88 clearances, 80 clearances have been digitized and 4 clearances in respect of Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Home Affairs are not proposed to be digitized due to security reasons. Digitization of the remaining 4 clearances is nearing completion by various Ministries and Departments. In addition to the above mentioned 88 clearances, 5 clearances are available on the portal of Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion.

 This information was given by the Minister of State (Independent Charge) in the Ministry of Commerce & Industry Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman in a written reply in Rajya Sabha today.
