# Andhra permits industrial approvals on APIIC land allotment 2026-08-14T05:57:57+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet On Wednesday, the Andhra government issued an order allowing entrepreneurs to obtain statutory approvals immediately after receiving the Final Allotment Order from the Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC), without waiting for land development or consolidation. The move is part of the state’s Compliance Reduction and Deregulation Phase-II initiative to speed up setting up industries. Until now, firms had to complete a sequential process, land allotment, sale agreement, possession, before applying for building plan sanctions, Fire NOCs, and pollution board consents. This caused delays and extra fees. Authorities including urban local bodies, fire department and pollution board must now process applications based on the allotment order wherever law permits. The approvals do not confer ownership or property rights. APIIC will integrate its portal with departmental systems for faster processing, the newindianexpress.com reports. ## Coverage - newindianexpress.com Tags: Andhra Pradesh, APIIC, deregulation, Ease of Doing Business, industrial approvals, pollution board Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/andhra-permits-industrial-approvals-on-apiic-land-allotment/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
