Nivesh Mitra 3.0 — The UP Single Window, Used Properly from Noida & Ghaziabad
Quick answer: Nivesh Mitra 3.0, launched on 24 March 2026, is Uttar Pradesh's single window for business approvals — a dynamic combined application form across 40+ departments, services rationalised to under 200, AI assistance, SMS tracking and NSWS integration, with about 25% fewer departmental steps than before. UPPCB consent, factory plan approval and licence, Shop Act registration and Section 80 land conversion for Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad all run through it. We sequence the filings so one rejected dependency does not stall the rest.

Frequently asked questions
What is Nivesh Mitra 3.0?
Uttar Pradesh's upgraded single-window portal, launched 24 March 2026, with a dynamic combined application form across 40+ departments, under 200 rationalised services, AI assistance, SMS tracking and NSWS integration.
Which approvals do Noida and Ghaziabad units get through it?
UPPCB consent to establish and operate, factory plan approval and licence, Shop Act registration, Section 80 land conversion (where still needed), fire NOC, electricity connection and other state services.
How long does UPPCB consent take on Nivesh Mitra?
The service standard is 120 days from a complete application; the Regional Officer for Gautam Buddh Nagar or Ghaziabad decides, with the fee computed on capital investment.
Do I still need Section 80 conversion for a plot in Noida Authority's area?
No — since the March 2026 reform a sanctioned building plan in a development-authority area is deemed conversion; the separate SDM order applies only outside such areas.
Is Nivesh Mitra linked to the National Single Window?
Yes — 3.0 is integrated with NSWS, so central approvals and the state file reference each other.
Can one login handle incentives too?
Yes — UP industrial-policy incentive claims are routed through the same investor login after the unit is set up.
