The Jammu and Kashmir administration announced that it will issue a No‑Objection Certificate for solvent licences within 30 days, aiming to streamline approvals.
The state government of Jammu and Kashmir has set a strict 30‑day timeline for processing No‑Objection Certificates (NOC) related to solvent licences. The move was disclosed in an official circular aimed at reducing bottlenecks in the industrial licensing framework.
According to the notice, applications submitted after the deadline will be examined promptly, and the NOC will be granted provided all statutory requirements are met. Officials emphasized that the timeline applies uniformly across all districts of the union territory.
Industry stakeholders have welcomed the decision, citing the need for faster clearances to maintain production schedules and avoid financial losses. The government expects the accelerated process to attract further investment in sectors that rely on solvents, such as pharmaceuticals and chemicals.
The administration will monitor compliance through a dedicated task force and has pledged to publish periodic updates on the progress of licence issuance.
