Affected applications must include stamped drawings and an official letter confirming approval. The authority says it aims to prevent duplicate reviews and accelerate building permits.

Files received before November 1 are to remain under the previous rules. Faster processing is the stated objective; no measured result has yet been provided.

The minister said an advisory service would be introduced through the Industrial Modernisation Centre and described a training programme combining technical skills with factory practice. He also aims to connect small suppliers with larger manufacturers' needs.

The proposals form part of Industry Strategy 2030 and seek higher-value local production. The articles report ministerial statements; they do not establish that the measures have been launched or demonstrate their impact on employment or imports.
