Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan told a press briefing that the Kerala government will actively support the establishment of medical device parks and accelerate the clearance process for related projects. The announcement aligns with the state’s ongoing effort to streamline industrial clearances under a unified, single‑window system.
The reform package involves amendments to 19 existing laws to create a ‘single door, single document, single approval’ framework, aiming to eliminate prolonged delays and guarantee that approvals are granted within a predefined timeframe. No specific dates were disclosed, but the policy is intended to take effect immediately as the legislative changes are finalized.
Kerala’s push to develop medical device parks is designed to attract investment, boost local manufacturing capacity, and improve access to advanced healthcare technologies for residents. Stakeholders—including manufacturers, healthcare providers, and patients—are expected to benefit from faster project roll‑outs and a more predictable regulatory environment.
