By Bizodisha Bureau, Bhubaneswar, July 16, 2017 : Riding high on flooding of investment proposals worth more than Rs 3.6 lakh crore so far, the Naveen Patnaik government is working on multi-service online portal for investors.

The portal – first of its kind in the country, will have a common online interface with investors all through the grounding of the projects from filling application to getting approval from the single window, land, electricity, water, labour or any kind of clearance, everything will be done online.

What is unique about the proposed portal is that the system can track the implementation status and resolve the issues raised online even after all official approvals are through. Interestingly, the same portal will serve the investors even in post production phase.

An investor can get information whether the plant is subject to inspection. The system will follow a common inspection framework and make sure that the inspection report is submitted online within 48 hours.

Secretary of Industries Department Sanjeev Chopra said it is one of the major reforms being undertaken for hassle-free industrialisation.

“Even the CSR activities of companies, will be synchronised in the portal which will track entire process from proposal to production. The portal will be a single point of contact for industries and investors. At least 50 services have been shortlisted which will go online. Investors do not have to visit different offices. They will visit only the portal and follow the process to get things done. Odisha is the only State which is developing such a portal,” he claimed while speaking to media persons.

Odisha got investment proposals during ‘Make-in-Odisha’ conclave in Bhubaneswar, disha Investors’ meet in Bengaluru and ‘Make-in-India’ Week in Mumbai.

Of 124 project proposals received so far, the State has got firm commitment on 74 projects worth over Rs two lakh crore.
