The Gujarat government has introduced a single online portal to simplify the process of obtaining film shooting permits, aiming to reduce paperwork and speed up approvals.
The state of Gujarat has rolled out a new online portal that consolidates all departments involved in granting film shooting permits into a single platform. The initiative is designed to streamline the application process, cutting down on the multiple forms and visits that filmmakers previously had to navigate.
Under the new system, production houses can submit their requests, upload required documents, and track the status of their applications from a single dashboard. The portal also provides clear guidelines on location approvals, safety requirements, and local regulations.
Officials say the move will reduce the turnaround time for permits, improve transparency, and make Gujarat a more attractive destination for national and international filmmakers. The portal is now live and open to all film production companies.
Filmmakers who have used the portal report a smoother experience, noting that the centralized approach eliminates the need to coordinate with several government offices separately.
The Gujarat government has pledged to monitor the portal’s performance and make further enhancements based on user feedback.
