At a recent meeting, the Cabinet Committee on Investments (CCI) urged security agencies to stick to the 12-week timeline, prescribed by the Cabinet Committee on Security.
It may be recalled that earlier, the Cabinet Committee on Security decided to adhere to a 12-week timeline for
providing inputs on port development projects that are delayed owing to pending clearances. Following this, the shipping ministry issued guidelines on security clearance for port projects in December 2012.
The CCI, headed by the Prime Minister, directed various security agencies to adhere to the 12-week timeline, an official release said.
Once the security clearance is accorded, it is valid for three years, unless there is a change in shareholding pattern.
In 2012-13, a total of 32 port infrastructure projects were awarded resulting in capacity addition of 136.75 million tonne a year.
