Pollution consent (CTE/CTO) for the unit
A factory or commercial unit needs the pollution board's consent to establish and then consent to operate before and after starting.
Start here
Apply for consent to establish before building the unit and consent to operate before starting production, on the state pollution board portal.
Who is responsible
Industries are classified into red, orange, green and white categories, and the documents and fees for consent depend on the category, so the first step is to know the unit's category. Consent to establish is needed before construction and consent to operate before starting production, in that order, and operating without the second is an offence.
