Tamil Nadu to roll out single-window clearance for hospitalsTamil Nadu is set to introduce a single-window clearance system for hospitals, ending the fragmented approval process that has long delayed healthcare projects. The reform is designed to strengthen Tamil Nadu’s position as a leading hub for medical infrastructure and healthcare services. Once implemented, Tamil Nadu will join states such as Maharashtra and Gujarat, which already have single-window systems to streamline regulatory clearances for healthcare projects. According to stakeholders associated with healthcare infrastructure projects, approvals for at least seven to eight doctor-promoted hospitals are currently pending in Tamil Nadu, while similar projects in other states have progressed much faster. Officials confirmed that the GO is likely to be issued following the Chief Minister’s review, paving the way for a faster, more transparent and investor-friendly approval process for hospital projects across Tamil Nadu.
