Delhi govt introduces landmark reform to fast-track green category
New Delhi: Ina major push to improve the business climate in the capital, the Delhi Government has announced a significant reform that will simplify environmental approvals for industries classified under the Green Category. Starting August 2025, applications for Consent to Operate (CTO) from these industries will be automatically deemed approved if no official decision is made within 20 days, a drastic improvement from the previous 120-day approval period. The reform is being hailed as a landmark move under Delhi's Ease of Doing Business initiative and is expected to benefit a wide range of non-polluting, low-risk industries. Delhi's Environment and Industries Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa, while announcing the decision, described it as a 'historic reset' in the way Delhi supports enterprise. He emphasized that this reform had been a long-standing demand from the business community and was finally addressed through the leadership of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena. Sirsa remarked that what hadn't been accomplished in five decades has now been delivered under the double-engine government, adding that Delhi is now 'open for responsible business.' He further stated that the government is moving away from a system of unnecessary licenses and outdated approvals, replacing it with a model that is pro-growth, pro-people, and purpose-driven. The reform will directly impact over 65 types of industries categorized as green, which are considered non-polluting and relatively safe for the environment. These include sectors like apparel manufacturing (excluding dyeing or bleaching processes), aluminium and PVC product units, ayurvedic medicine manufacturing without boilers, cold storage operations, wooden and steel furniture production, confectionery units using electric ovens, optical goods manufacturing, toy assembly, soap and detergent units, battery container production, and packaging and cardboard manufacturers, among others. All of these sectors, many of which are dominated by micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), were previously subjected to long and often frustrating bureaucratic delays. Now, under the new policy, if a CTO application is not addressed within 20 days, it will be automatically treated as approved, eliminating the need for further follow-ups or additional paperwork. The Delhi Government believes this reform will be a game-changer for small businesses that have historically struggled under the weight of regulatory red tape. Most of the green category industries are run by small and medium-scale entrepreneurs who can now operate with greater freedom and certainty under a trust-based, time-bound clearance system. Minister Sirsa noted that this move will help these enterprises shift their focus from chasing approvals to scaling their operations and contributing more effectively to the local economy. This decision is also closely aligned with the broader national vision of Viksit Bharat – Viksit Delhi and reflects the capital's commitment to responsive and modern governance. It forms a key part of Delhi's ongoing Single Window Clearance initiative, which aims to eliminate redundant approvals and create a streamlined, paperless, and transparent framework for industrial operations. By reducing bureaucratic friction and empowering entrepreneurs, the Delhi Government hopes to foster a more dynamic, business-friendly environment that promotes both sustainable development and economic growth.

Chandrababu Naidu, revanth Reddy to meet Jal Shakti Minister over ₹81,900 cr Polavaram-Banakacherla link project
The Centre has called a joint meeting of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana chief ministers on Wednesday to iron out differences between the two states over Rs 81,900 crore Polavaram Banakacherla Link Project , which proposes to bring Godavari floodwaters to the state's parched region. Jal Shakti minister C R Paatil will meet Andhra chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu and Telangana chief minister Revanth Reddy together on Wednesday over the project. Naidu government has proposed this ambitious inter-linking project to connect Krishna and Godavari basins and transferring Godavari floodwaters to the drought-prone Rayalaseema region through the Krishna basin . The project involves construction of a new reservoir at Bolapalli and using lift stations and tunnels to channel water to Banakacherla and Veligonda reservoirs. On its part, Telangana has objected to Naidu's proposal saying this violates provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act of 2014 and the Godavari Water Disputes Tribunal Award of 1980. Concerns have also been raised about the project's impact on several regions, including the temple town of Bhadrachalam. Andhra Pradesh had approached the environment ministry for clearances despite Telangana's objections. However, the expert appraisal committee (EAC) had returned the proposal and asked the state to first have it examined by Central Water Commission under Jal Shakti ministry. The joint meeting has been called by Paatil following on this. In a letter to Telangana irrigation minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy, Paatil had assured, '… the Central Water Commission, under my ministry, will duly examine it in accordance with the extant guidelines, existing Tribunal Awards/ Inter-state Agreements and various provisions under Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act 2014 and appropriate action will be taken.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Lifetime Office 365 Download Undo Earlier, Andhra Pradesh had already fast tracked the project by inviting tenders under Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM). Naidu had requested the Centre for support through externally aided projects (EAP) and allocation under the Budget. Naidu has requested that 50% of the project cost be funded through EAP loans and about 20% as a grant. However, Telangana's objections have put a spanner in the works.

Himachal chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu meets Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman in New Delhi on Monday. (PTI) During the meeting, the chief minister apprised Union minister Sitharaman of the financial situation of Himachal Pradesh and urged for increasing the borrowing limit of the state. He also informed the Union minister about the massive losses incurred due to recent heavy rains and flash-floods in the state and urged the Centre for assistance. Himachal Pradesh has been witnessing large scale destruction since the onset of monsoon in the state. As per the state disaster management authority (SDMA), a total of 105 lives have been lost since June 20. Out of these, 61 people lost their lives in landslides, flash floods, cloudbursts, drowning, fire incidents, and electrocution, as per the official cumulative report released by the state emergency operations centre (SEOC). Forty four people lost their lives in road mishaps, which have seen a sharp increase due to the slippery terrain, poor visibility, and road damage caused by relentless rainfall. The state so far had registered damages worth over ₹784.6 crore to both public and private property across sectors, including roads, agriculture, power, education, animal husbandry, and rural infrastructure. CM pushes for strengthening air connectivity in the state Chief minister Sukhu also called on Union civil aviation minister Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu at New Delhi on Monday and held detailed discussions about strengthening air connectivity in the state. Sukhu urged the Union minister to allow the operation of Delhi-Shimla-Dharamshala and Dharamshala-Shimla-Delhi flights on a daily basis, highlighting that at present these flights were operational only three days a week, causing inconvenience to the tourists. He also requested the commencement of night landing facilities at Dharamshala airport. Sukhu apprised the Union minister regarding the status of the Kangra airport expansion and sought special assistance for the land acquisition process, citing its high cost. He mentioned that the issue had also been raised with the Prime Minister during a previous meeting and sought the continued support of the ministry of civil aviation, emphasising that this would accelerate the region's development. CM Sukhu also requested the construction of four new heliports to further strengthen air connectivity and boost tourism in the state. Discussions were also held regarding the expansion of Shimla airport. The CM urged the Union minister to extend the operational watch hours beyond 1 pm at Shimla airport and also proposed the operation of Dornier-type aircraft at Shimla, following the example of the northeastern states. He emphasised the need to encourage additional operators to start flight services to Shimla.
