Officials said Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will launch the platform at Lok Bhawan. The event is scheduled for Tuesday. The government said the portal upgrade focuses on quicker clearances and clearer processes. It also aims to help investors track applications from early steps to commercial production.

Nivesh Mitra 3.0 portal features and approvals

As per a press statement, Nivesh Mitra 3.0 is designed to offer a faster interface. Officials said it will provide a transparent and investor-friendly system for approvals. The upgraded portal trims services to fewer than 200. These services span over 40 departments, which officials said cuts duplicate steps.

Officials said the platform will include AI-powered chatbots for instant help. It will also send real-time SMS alerts to applicants. A dynamic Combined Application Form is part of the update. Other tools include GIS-enabled land banks and online tracking through each stage of a proposal.

Officials said Nivesh Mitra 3.0 will connect with the National Single Window System. The integration is intended to improve coordination across central and state agencies. Officials said this link should reduce friction for projects needing permissions from both levels. The aim is smoother movement from filing to final clearances.

Nivesh Mitra 3.0 reforms to reduce steps and documents

Procedural changes under the new system include fewer fields in application forms. Officials said the cut is nearly 25 per cent. Document needs are also reduced by 15 per cent, officials added. The process will have about 20 per cent fewer steps. Officials said these changes should make approvals quicker.

The portal has been in use since 2018, officials said. Over 21 lakh applications have been processed through Nivesh Mitra so far. Officials said the disposal rate stands at 97 per cent. The state described the system as a key channel for investment facilitation across departments.

Nivesh Mitra 3.0 launch event and new industrial schemes

On March 24, the chief minister will also unveil two schemes, officials said. These are the UP Private Business Park Development Scheme-2025 and the Plug-and-Play Industrial Sheds Scheme. The schemes will run under a public-private partnership framework. Officials said both plans are meant to support faster project execution.

Officials said the new schemes will provide ready-to-operate infrastructure for investors. The intent is to shorten project timelines and improve efficiency. State Finance Minister Suresh Khanna and Industrial Development Minister Nand Gopal Gupta will attend. Other senior officials are also expected to be present at Lok Bhawan.
