Easing of Rules for Clearance of Non-Polluting Industrial Projects
The
Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change in consultation with Central
Pollution Control Board has reclassified the industries into “Red”, “Orange”,
“Green” and “White” category, as part of policies and objective of
government to promote ‘Ease of Doing Responsible Business. Projects under
the new category of “white”, which is practically non-polluting, will not
require either Environmental Clearance under Environment (Protection) Act, 1986
or Consent under Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 and Water
(Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974.
A list of white category of industries
