Constituted under the Kerala Industrial Single Window Clearance Boards and Industrial Township Area Development Act, 1999, KSSWCB was originally empowered to give go-ahead to any industrial project with an investment layout of Rs. 15 crores and above within 45 days by facilitating clearances from various government departments.
The Act was amended by the Kerala Investment Promotion and Facilitation Act, 2018, which reduced the deadline for giving clearances from 45 to 30 days. KSSWCB, chaired by the Chief Secretary, has held 12 meetings since June 2016. "Kerala has considerably improved the ease of doing business through a string of reform-oriented legislations.
