Credai AP Hails Single Window System For Building Approvals

Vijayawada: The Andhra Pradesh unit of Credai has expressed its strong support for the State Government’s decision to implement a single window system for the approval of building constructions and layouts.

Scheduled for launch on December 31, this initiative, under the leadership of Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, promises to streamline the approval process and significantly reduce the administrative burdens on developers and stakeholders across the State, they say.

Alla Siva Reddy, Chairman, Andhra Pradesh Chapter, Confederation of Real Estate Developers Association of India (Credai) recently lauded the move, calling it a “game-changer” for the real estate industry. He remarked, “this progressive move by the Chief Minister is a game-changer for the real estate industry. The single window system will simplify the approval process, reduce delays, and foster a more transparent and efficient environment for development.”

Under the new system, developers will be able to obtain necessary approvals from multiple departments in one streamlined process. Key approvals, including those for Vacant Land Tax, NALA, Registration Department, and the Mining Department, will be integrated. Moreover, critical departments such as Fire NOC, the Airport Authority of India, and the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) will also be part of this coordinated system, ensuring a seamless process for construction and layout approvals.

President of Credai Andhra Pradesh YV Ramana Rao emphasised the positive impact this change will have on developers. “Previously, developers had to make multiple rounds to various departments, including Revenue, Stamps and Registration, and the Fire Department, which caused unnecessary delays. Now, with this single window system, we will no longer face such challenges. The process has been made much easier and more efficient,” he said.
