MOHALI: Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Singh Mann and AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday launched the 'FastTrack Punjab Portal' aimed at ensuring that an investor gets all the required approvals within 45 days of applying to start new businesses, setting up projects and expanding industries in the state.

Addressing a gathering during the launch of the portal here, Mann and Kejriwal rolled out 12 initiatives under Punjab Udyog Kranti, branding them as the "biggest industrial reforms in 75 years."

Mann emphasized that the initiative aims to boost both revenue and employment opportunities. "We want industrialists to grow and employment to increase. When your revenue rises, you'll set up more industries, creating more jobs. We will fill the treasury and provide jobs," he stated.

Kejriwal said all approvals for an industrial project will be given within 45 days. "If one does not get approvals within 45 days, then an investor will get deemed approval for his project automatically," the former Delhi chief minister said.
