Guwahati, July 8: The Assam Government has introduced measures to simplify approval procedures for small non-polluting units, aiming to promote entrepreneurship and improve the ease of doing business in the state.

Under the new initiative, eligible small businesses with low environmental impact will receive relief from certain approval requirements, helping reduce delays and make the process of starting operations smoother.

The move is expected to encourage more entrepreneurs, especially small business owners and local investors, to establish new ventures in Assam. By reducing regulatory hurdles, the government aims to create a more supportive environment for small industries and strengthen economic activity across the state.

The reform will also help businesses save time and resources by simplifying compliance procedures while ensuring that environmental protection standards continue to be maintained.

Officials said the initiative is part of Assam’s broader efforts to attract investment, support small enterprises and create more employment opportunities. The government expects the measure to contribute to sustainable industrial growth and strengthen the state’s business ecosystem.
