Licenses and Authorizations provided by State Pollution Control Board

The State board exercises control to regulate and monitor businesses and industrial establishments. It does so by issuing the following licenses and authorizations depending on the unit's activities

Application for Consent

The individual or business entity must obtain prior consent from the board under the Water and Air Acts, mainly to set up a business or factory. The board gives the consent required by an industrial facility in two stages mentioned below

Consent to Establish (CTE): CTE is the first and primary level of consent required by the industry, operation or process from the State Pollution Control Board. This is done by ensuring that the pollution control aspects applicable to the particular industry are followed.

Consent to Operate (CTO): This certificate is the final consent and allows the industry to discharge treated effluent and air emissions into the environment. Once the process plant or industry is established along with all pollution control systems, entrepreneurs must obtain CTOfor their unit. This certificate must be renewed regularly and the entrepreneur must abide by the post-compliance issued by the PCB during the whole validity.
