Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Thursday inaugurated the second phase of the FastTrack Punjab Portal during a live event held in Chandigarh. The portal aims to streamline business processes, improve service delivery, and provide faster clearances to investors and citizens across the state.
Portal to Boost Investment and Ease of Doing Business
Officials said that the upgraded FastTrack Punjab Portal will help entrepreneurs, startups, and industries receive approvals and services more efficiently.
The platform integrates multiple departments on one system, reducing delays, paperwork, and back-and-forth movement for applicants.
The government expects the portal to significantly improve Punjab’s ranking in ease of doing business and create a more investor-friendly environment.
Faster Services for Citizens
In addition to business-related services, the second phase introduces several citizen-centric features.
Residents will now be able to submit applications, track progress, and receive approvals or certificates without visiting government offices.
The portal is designed to increase transparency and ensure accountability within departments.
Bhagwant Mann Emphasizes Transparency and Efficiency
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, CM Bhagwant Mann said that the FastTrack Punjab Portal is a major step toward building a modern, digitized Punjab.
He noted that the government is committed to eliminating red tape, enhancing public convenience, and promoting rapid economic development.
Mann added that digital governance is essential for a responsive and transparent administration.
Beneficial for Business, Industry, and Common People
Officials highlighted that the second phase will particularly benefit:
• industrialists and new investors
• traders and MSMEs
• startups looking for quick approvals
• general citizens needing timely government services
The portal is expected to reduce processing time for applications and improve overall user experience.
