About This Service

Any Business Entity who wants to operate or set up an industrial plant/or any project needs to acquire Consent to operate (CTO) from the State Pollution control board. To set up the project one should comply with the provision enumerated under section 25 of The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974. Further if anyone wants to operate an industrial plant, he also needs to comply with the rules prescribed under the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981.

The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) has developed the criteria of categorization of industrial sectors based on the Pollution Index which is a function of the emissions (air pollutants), effluents (water pollutants), hazardous wastes generated, and consumption of resources. If your business comes under the purview of this list, then getting a pollution control certificate is a must for you.

There are 4 categories under which the companies are divided from a pollution point of view, they are:

  • Red: Highly Polluting
  • Orange: Medium pollution
  • Green: Minimal Pollution
  • White: Zero pollution
