We have established our plant, can we now start production or do we have to take MPCB approval?

If you are planning to start construction of your plant then first you will have to take MPCB consent to establish. Without consent to establish you are not allowed to start construction of your plant. Once your construction is completed then you can apply for MPCB consent to operate from MPCB along with copy of consent to establishment which you earlier obtained.

MPCB Consent

Remember, Starting production without prior approvals may attract unnecessary troubles.

How do MPCB categorize Consent in Green, Orange and Red category?

As per CPCB notification, all industries does not make pollution in same quantity to the environment. So they decided to categorize industries based on their pollution potential of their industrial activities.

Industries falling under red category are heavily polluting such as Pharmaceuticals, dyes, Pesticides, cement etc.

Industries falling under Orange category are generating pollutants in low quantities are mirror manufacturers or industries in small villages such as , hotels, fish processing, pulping, soft drinks etc.

Industries falling under green categories are not generating any type of effluents or emissions are aata-chakkis, mineralized water, bakery products, ice cream, Gold, electric equipments, toys etc.

Pollution control board charge fees high for industries falling under red category and low for industries falling under green category.

How much effluent we can drain out of our factory? What are the standards?

To know amount of effluent you can release to nearer drainage, you will have to go through the consent to operate issued by MPCB to your company. In consent to operate it should be clearly mentioned that what type of wastes you are allowed from your company. If your company is generating any type of hazardous waste and you try to release then MPCB or Municipal Corporation may take strong action. According to MPCB norms water needs to properly disposed and recycled by in-house effluent or sewage treatment plant facilities like ETP / STP.

If you would like to make any changes in consent then you will have to discuss this matter with your management then then apply for amendment of consent to MPCB.

What is Auto Renewal of consent?

I am an entrepreneur and I want to setup and start operation in my factory. What are the necessary approvals / General Licences / permissions / Clearances I need to take from departments of governments?

As mentioned earlier, before starting construction of building you need to take consent to establish from PCB. After completion of construction and setup of your machineries you will have to obtain consent to operate from PCB.

Following department’s approval is required for building plan approval:

  • Inspectorate of Factories
  • Fire
  • Health
  • MPCB (State pollution Control Board)
  • DTCP (Directorate of Town and Country Planning)
  • Building stability certificate
  • PF & ESI registration
  • Licence for Manufacturing (Drug / Food control etc.,)

How MPCB consent Fees is calculated?

You have to submit the MPCB application form along with balance sheet of your company to pollution control board. You need to pay fees by DD in favour of pollution control board. It is calculated based on capital investment of company. It can be vary from 0.02% to 0.05% on capital investment for both i.e. consent to establish (CTE) as well as consent to operate (CTO).

If we don’t take MPCB permission / Consent before starting manufacturing unit, then is there any penalty we need to pay or some action would be taken by Pollution control Board?

Yes, there is MPCB penalty to operate without consent which can as high as 10 times of your consent fee. Also PCB may take necessary action case to case basis. Also if you don’t renew your consent before 31st December then fine increases by 10% for each month of the licence renewal amount. So Make sure you submit MPCB consent form along with DD of renewal fees before 31st of December every year to avoid MPCB penalty.

    Dear Sir, We are a small scale manufacturing unit for paints & varnishes (by mixing process only. We fall in the orange category. We have our renewal coming up. Our capital investment in unit was 1 Lac 88 Thousand in the previous consent. In the past 6 years we have made some capital investment (in stages) in upgrading our equipment like cctv system, computer, printer, electronic weigh scale , semi auto liquid filling machine, semi auto box strapping machine. The total investment after all these additions comes out to be approx 4 Lacs now. However there is no change in production capacity of the goods & the pollution load. So how do we go ahead for the renewal. Can we apply for auto renewal or will we have to take a regular consent . Please share any link if available making the process understandable to us. Thanks in advance
