About NSWS

• The National Single Window System (NSWS) was launched in 2021 by the Government of India.
• NSWS was created by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) to provide a single platform to enable the identification and obtaining of approvals and clearances needed by investors, entrepreneurs, and businesses in India. 
• The system is envisioned to reduce duplicity of information submission to different ministries, reduce compliance burden, promote sector specific reforms and schemes, reduce gestation period of projects, and promote ease of starting and doing business. NSWS enables the identification, applying and subsequent tracking of approvals for all integrated States and Central Departments.
