The Odisha government has set up a special entity to fast track approvals for investment projects. The new entity christened state level facilitation cell (SLFC) has been mandated to clear investment proposals in 15-30 days.
- The SLFC has categorised companies in two broad categories — green and non-green.
- The green category largely comprises agri-based industries, food-processing, cottage industries, textiles, light engineering, chemicals, building materials, and consumer goods.
