Simplify Environmental Approval
Reform IDK638
DescriptionBefore: Businesses undertaking new projects or expansions are required to obtain environmental approvals—such as the General Environmental Approval (GEA), Initial Environmental Examination (IEE), or Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) before commencing development. The multiple approval pathways, extensive documentation, technical assessment requirements, and regulatory reviews increase compliance costs, extend project timelines, and can delay investment and business operations.
