Why approvals hold factories back

As Tamil Nadu is becoming a major manufacturing hub in recent years for multinational and foreign companies, the need for a simplified, easy and time-efficient approval process from a myriad of government agencies and departments has become the need of the hour for such companies.

With more and more companies from Korea, Japan, China and other countries looking forward to establishing their manufacturing units in Chennai, one stumbling block has been the language barrier, culture shock and the complexity of getting various departmental approvals from different government departments located at different places.
