The Karnataka government will soon constitute a special committee to hasten the process of clearing projects proposed by power generating companies.

According to a higher official, the Group of Officers, under the Ministry of Power, will be constituted in a couple of weeks to simplify procedures concerning the granting of projects and clear the stumbling blocks.

According to another top official, “One of the major concerns expressed by developers has been the time taken for giving clearances, and a separate committee is being set up to address this.”

Several projects were put on hold as they were awaiting clearance from the Forest Department, it is claimed.
