Availing an environment clearance certificate from now will take just a third of the time previously required, thanks to the One-Stop Service (OSS) portal of the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (Bida).
Previously, it took investors some 150 days to get the nod from the Department of Environment.
Now, it will be available anywhere between a week and 45 working days for new or running industries based on the trade category and submission of required documents.
Applicants will be able to make payments online and witness in real time the application s progress with the service provider and get feedback on any official unmet requirement.
