Bengal CM introduces single-window clearance for ₹100 crore+ investments

West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari announced a new direct land purchase policy and single-window clearance system for investment proposals of ₹100 crore and above. This policy initiative directly responds to historical land acquisition controversies in Bengal—notably Nandigram (2007) and Singur (2008)—that caused massive social unrest, farmer suicides, and contributed to the Left Front's electoral defeat in 2011. The CM frames the policy as addressing the 'extortion culture' and promoting business-friendly governance. Single-window clearance consolidates multiple regulatory approvals into one mechanism, reducing bureaucratic delays. This initiative is significant as West Bengal has struggled with industrial decline and investor confidence post-2011. The policy attempts to revive FDI inflow and manufacturing sector growth. Constitutional aspects involve balancing property rights (Articles 19, 31C), state's eminent domain powers, and the Land Acquisition Act, 2013. For UPSC, this is relevant for understanding India's land governance, federalism in infrastructure development, state-level industrial policy divergence, and lessons from past land acquisition failures. Questions may cover constitutional provisions on property rights, land reform politics, and comparative analysis of investment policies across Indian states.
