Overview - pollution control certificate noc environmental safety licenses Registration
What is it?
Pollution Control NOC / Consent is a mandatory environmental clearance from the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981. It certifies that your establishment meets pollution control standards and is legally permitted to operate.
Two stages
Consent to Establish (CTE): Obtained before construction or setting up of a new plant / factory. Consent to Operate (CTO): Obtained before commencing operations - renewed periodically (annually or 5-yearly depending on the category).
Industry categories
Industries are classified into Red (highly polluting), Orange (moderately polluting), Green (low polluting), and White (non-polluting) categories by CPCB - Red category industries face the most stringent requirements and highest fees.
Governing authorities
State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs) for state-jurisdiction industries. Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) for large projects and inter-state matters. Online applications are processed through the respective state SPCB portal.
