“eSuvidha, an On-line Project Management System, tracks the projects involving investment above 1000 crore. It enhances the efficiency, bring transparency and improve the communication between industries to Government and State to Centre or vice versa. It automates the entire tracking of stalled investment projects in the context of the bottlenecks. Industries can submit their projects with issues after creating their login credentials. When any project with issues is being added by an industry to the State PMG, the portal shall automatically push the data to the respective ministries at the state level. Once the project is being endorsed by State level Nodal Officer, it shall also be automatically routed to the Central PMG, if there are any issues/bottlenecks related to Govt. of India. Industries get the immediate response from the automatic mailer and they can see the current status of concerned projects through this platform immediately after the subgroup meeting is over if the decision being entered on-line”
