Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Shri Nitin Gadkari today launched the upgraded RAJMARG PRAVESH web portal to streamline and simplify the process of obtaining No Objection Certificates (NOCs) for facilities along National Highways.

The enhanced digital platform aims to make approvals faster, transparent and time-bound, reinforcing the Government’s commitment to improving ease of doing business.

The portal can be accessed at: http://rajmargpravesh.morth.gov.in

Single-Window Access for Highway Permissions

Permissions covered under the portal include:

• Fuel stations

• Wayside amenities

• Rest area complexes

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has redesigned the portal to ensure:

• Streamlined digital workflows

• Reduced approval timelines

The initiative is expected to save time and effort for applicants while promoting investment and infrastructure growth along National Highway corridors.
