Questions
The state pollution control board's prior consent to set up an industry, required under section 25 of the Water Act and section 21 of the Air Act.
Since July 2025, 54 listed White category sectors with a pollution index up to 25 don't need consent under the Water and Air Acts. The unit must still inform the state board or committee in writing.
CPCB's 2025 report classifies industrial sectors into Red, Orange, Green, White and Blue categories. The CPCB page also lists the 2025 consent exemptions for White category sectors.
