The Department for Promotion of Investment and Internal Trade (DPIIT) on Tuesday said that by March 2023 all the States and Central Ministries will be integrated into National Single Window System (NSWS).

The NSWS is a digital platform which is established for the guidance of investors to identify and apply for approvals as per their business requirement.

A year since its inception, over 14,000 approvals have been given to the industry and another 14,000 approvals are in process.

Sumita Dawra, Additional Secretary of DPIIT said, “It was soft-launched in September 2021 and within the one-year total of 16 states' single window systems integrated with NSWS and 24 Central Ministries out of 32 identified on-boarded on NSWS.”

It may be noted that the Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal launched NSWS in September last year for investors and businesses.

Minister Goyal during the launch had said, “This would bring Transparency, Accountability and Responsiveness in the ecosystem and all information will be available on a single dashboard. An applicant Dashboard would be there to apply, track & respond to queries.”
