Pune: Union Minister Prakash Javadekar on Sunday said the NDA government has brought down to 190 days the time taken for obtaining environmental clearance for projects, from the 600 days that it took during the UPA rule.
He said the Centre’s aim is to further reduce this period to 100 days.
However, my ministry has now removed the delay and reduced the period to 190 days.
Claiming that Modi Govt has approved hundreds of development projects in the last 21 months by striking a balance between environment protection and development, Javadekar said, “We will not just provide ease of doing business as usual, but we will provide ease of doing responsible business without any delay and that is our assurance.” (PTI)
