NSWS grants over 8.29 lakh approvals, MCA21 handles 3.84 crore filings, and Udyam Portal supports 34 crore jobs, boosting India's digital biz ecosystem.

"By harmonising central platforms with state-led reforms, India provides entrepreneurs... an efficient, transparent, and reliable gateway to growth. - Official Statement"

New Delhi, March 9

India's digital platforms ecosystem has streamlined the business lifecycle, from entry to expansion, with unprecedented speed and ease through National Single Window System, Government e‑Marketplace, MCA21 and similar tools, the Centre said on Monday.

India's integrated digital infrastructure also widened market access and unlocked liquidity for millions of firms. The National Single Window System has granted over 8,29,750 approvals across 32 central departments and 32 states, according to an official statement.

Further, India's corporate landscape is being revolutionised by the MCA21 Project, a forward-looking, AI-driven initiative that significantly enhances transparency. MCA21, which integrates advanced features like e-Scrutiny, e-adjudication and e-consultation recorded approximately 3.84 crore filings between 2021 and 2025, the statement said.

Udyam Registration Portal has facilitated 7.71 crore registrations and supported 33.97 crore jobs as of February 12, 2026, the statement further said.

The portal offers a free, paperless, and self-declaration-based system for MSMEs. By efficiently integrating with Central Board of Direct Taxes and GST network databases, it provides a fully digital, documentation-free experience that eliminates administrative hurdles.

"By harmonising central platforms with state-led reforms, India provides entrepreneurs and businessmen with an efficient, transparent, and reliable gateway to growth," the statement said.

Government e‑Marketplace has grown into a digital procurement system connecting sellers and service providers across the country, including women entrepreneurs, startups, micro and small enterprises (MSEs), artisans, self-help groups (SHGs) and Divyangjans.

Government e‑Marketplace recorded over 4 lakh crore in order value in FY26 till February 12 with an order volume of over 60 lakh. Its module facilitated over Rs 2,200 crore in auctions from December 2021 to November 2025, with over 23,000 registered bidders and participation from more than 17,000 auctioneers.

India has transformed its administrative framework by digitising approvals at both central and state levels through unified single-window portals. The Government has also launched other single-window digital platforms that increase transparency, reduce cost and simplify compliance such as PARIVESH and e-Gram SWARAJ Portal.

The numbers are impressive, especially Udyam supporting nearly 34 crore jobs. My brother registered his garage on Udyam and got a small loan much easier. However, in smaller towns, internet connectivity and digital literacy are still big hurdles. The government needs to focus on grassroots training too.

Working with Indian partners from the US, I've seen the efficiency improve dramatically over the last few years. The MCA21 portal for company filings is now quite smooth compared to before. It makes cross-border business much more predictable. Well done.

GeM connecting women entrepreneurs and SHGs is the best part for me! 💪 My aunt's self-help group now sells handmade products directly to government departments. It's creating real economic empowerment at the village level. This is digital India working for the common person.

Transparency is key. The AI-driven features in MCA21 for e-scrutiny should, in theory, reduce human discretion and corruption. But we need to ensure the algorithms themselves are fair and auditable. The intent is good, execution must be monitored closely by independent bodies.

As a CA, I handle these portals daily for clients. The integration with GST and Income Tax is a lifesaver. No more carrying piles of documents. But sometimes the portals crash during peak filing periods. The infrastructure needs to keep pace with the growing user base.
