What is Environmental Approvals?

Environmental Approvals are statutory clearances required by industries before establishing or operating facilities under the Environment Protection Act 1986, Water Act 1974, and Air Act 1981 regulated by TNPCB and MoEF&CC.

Operating without valid Consent to Establish (CTE), Consent to Operate (CTO) or Environmental Clearance (EC) attracts factory closure notices, heavy penalties and legal liability for management. Our team manages the entire approval lifecycle โ€” documentation, submission, follow-up and renewal.

We have deep experience with TNPCB's online portal, MoEF&CC's PARIVESH platform, and district-level clearances across Tamil Nadu and South India.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CTE and who needs it?
Consent to Establish (CTE) is required from TNPCB before setting up a new factory, expanding an existing unit, or changing processes. Any industry discharging effluents, emissions or generating hazardous waste needs CTE.
What is the difference between CTE and CTO?
CTE (Consent to Establish) is the pre-construction approval for a new/expanded facility. CTO (Consent to Operate) is the annual operating consent after the facility is built and commissioned.
When is Environmental Clearance (EC) required?
EC is required for Category A and B projects listed in the EIA Notification 2006 โ€” including thermal power plants, mining, cement, chemical, textile, and infrastructure projects above specified capacity.
How long does CTE approval take?
CTE approval from TNPCB typically takes 30โ€“90 days depending on project category, completeness of application and TNPCB workload. We track and expedite throughout.
Can you help with expired CTO renewals?
Yes โ€” we handle delayed and lapsed CTO renewals including regularization procedures, environmental audits and liaison with TNPCB to minimize penalties.
