GNIDA switches to e-office to process files faster
Noida: The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) has gone paperless with the rollout of the e-office system, to enhance digital governance and faster public service delivery.
The platform, developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC), allows officials to process, approve, and track files online from anywhere within Uttar Pradesh. GNIDA CEO NG Ravi Kumar has directed all departments to operate exclusively through the e-office framework.
The transition aligns with state government directives mandating e-office adoption across departments. It is expected to reduce bureaucratic delays and enhance investor confidence, especially as it integrates seamlessly with the Nivesh Mitra portal, UP's single-window clearance system for business approvals.
All online applications, including those via Nivesh Mitra, will now be handled digitally. This will streamline processes for licences, NOCs, and other approvals.
Over 55,000 physical files have been scanned and digitised to create a searchable repository. To facilitate the shift, around 160 GNIDA employees have been equipped with email IDs and digital signatures.
Additional CEO Prerna Singh said the e-office system ensures files are processed within a set timeframe. "It offers real-time status tracking, which boosts transparency, accountability, and convenience for citizens," she said.
The initiative is being implemented statewide under the guidance of the Uttar Pradesh Electronics Corporation Limited (UPECL).

AI Traffic Signals Illuminate City, But E-Challans Stuck In Red Light
Nagpur: The ambitious Rs197 crore Integrated Intelligent Traffic Management System (IITMS) pilot project is nearing completion at 10 key intersections in Nagpur. However, the automation of e-challan issuance may still take time due to pending state-level calibrations and system integration. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The project, which includes high-resolution video detection cameras, automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) system, smart sensors, and AI-based signal controls, aims to modernise traffic regulation by capturing real-time violations and issuing automated fines. While most of the installation work at all 10 locations has been completed to support automated traffic signals, land development and cable pooling work is underway at Kachipura site. According to a senior official privy to the development, the system is in its final testing phase. "We are checking all connections, data feeds, and video integration. Once everything is verified, the system will be presented for final approval," the official said. The Command and Control Centre (COC) will soon begin displaying live traffic data from these intersections, he said. However, even after making the infrastructure fully functional, officials say, e-challan generation cannot begin immediately. "For challans to be legally valid, the detection system must be certified by state agencies as per Central Motor Vehicle Rules (CMVR). Also, it must be integrated with National Informatics Centre databases to fetch accurate owner details," said the official, adding, "Without these crucial steps, any automated fine could be challenged in court. " These enforcement roadblocks come at a time when the city's traffic violation penalty recovery backlog is already staggering. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Between 2021 and June 2025, Nagpur traffic police issued over 30 lakh challans for various violations, but fines worth Rs248.19 crore remain unpaid. Of these, only 2.88 lakh cases — a mere 9.6% — were forwarded to court, leaving the vast majority of violators untouched by any legal consequence. Experts warn unless enforcement is tightened and compliance improved, even the most advanced surveillance system will have limited impact. "Detection is not the challenge — it's what you do with it," said a senior civic official. Without court calibration, NIC integration, and manpower to process violations, Nagpur risks turning IITMS into a costly but toothless display of technology.
