BENGALURU: The state government on Thursday introduced amendments to sections of the Karnataka Industries (Facilitation) Act 2002 to do away with statutory nods required to commence construction and other works.
“As soon as the district or state committee approves the project, the industry can start civil work, construction and installation of machinery,” Jagadish Shettar, minister of large and medium scale industries said in Bengaluru.
The Karnataka government will soon issue an ordinance to this effect.
The amendments is part of Karnataka’s efforts to improve ease of doing business by doing away with statutory approvals that delayed the commencing of work and blocked investments.
