Of course, all these projects will not materialise in a jiffy. On the contrary, now starts the back-breaking task of getting permissions from other departments. The IBP, which is supposed to act as a single window, is tasked with assisting enterpreneurs with getting the relevant NOCs in order to take the project to its fruition. In cricketing terms these are the slog overs. Then comes the most frustrating
of all hurdles, the opposition brigade, not to be confused with genuine watchdogs who study the issue from all angles before arriving at a conclusion. So, is it time to apply the brakes and do some stalk taking? Perhaps, now is the time for the IPB to focus its energies on obtaining
NOCs to ensure that companies get off to a good start,
or else the projects will remain on paper.
