## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY (SMT. ANUPRIYA PATEL)

- (a) & (b) :  The  Niryat  Rin  Vikas  Yojan  (NIRVIK)    is  being  re-examined  in  view  of  the changed market situation with the idea of coming up with an improved scheme to provide enhanced cover for small exporters within the existing Whole Turnover - Export Credit Insurance for Banks.
- (c) & (d):  Draft  National  Logistics  Policy  has  been  prepared  after  necessary  stakeholders' consultation and has been circulated for Inter-Ministerial consultations.
- (e) &  (f)  :  In  Budget  Speech  2020-21,  Hon'ble  Finance  Minister  announced  plans  to  set up  an  Investment  Clearance  Cell  (ICC)  that  will  provide  'end  to  end'  facilitation  and support to investors, including pre-investment advisory, provide information related to land banks and facilitate clearance at Centre and State level. The Cell was proposed to operate through an online digital portal.

Subsequently, Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) along with Invest  India  initiated  the  process  of  developing  the  portal  as  a  National  Single  Window System (NSWS). Envisioned as a one-stop for taking   all the regulatory approvals and services in the country, NSWS   [www.nsws.gov.in]  was  soft-launched  on  22 nd September, 2021 by Hon'ble Commerce & Industry Minister.  The  national portal integrates the existing clearance  systems  of  various  Ministries/  Departments  of  Government  of  India  and  State Governments without disruption to their existing IT portals.

Currently Central approvals across 23 Ministries/ Departments are enabled to be applied through the NSWS portal and 16 States'/UTs' Single Window Systems have been linked with  the  NSWS  Portal  thereby  providing  access  to  approvals  of  these  States/UTs  to  be applied through a single login id.

The Know Your Approvals (KYA) Module, an information wizard which guides investors to identify an indicative list of requisite pre-operations approvals/ licenses applicable, is live on NSWS with more than 3000 approvals of Central Ministries/ Departments and various States/UTs.

The scope of NSWS has also been expanded to include special schemes such as Vehicle Scrapping  Scheme,  Indian  Footwear  and  Leather  Development  Programme  and  interest subvention scheme for Ethanol Blended Programme by bundling both Central and State Government approvals.
