Pollution Control Board Consents (CTE & CTO): A Guide for Businesses
S
Statura Team
Businesses that may affect the environment need consents from the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) — first to establish, then to operate.
CTE vs CTO
- Consent to Establish (CTE): Obtained before setting up the unit.
- Consent to Operate (CTO): Obtained before commencing operations, renewed periodically.
Industry Categories
Units are classified Red, Orange, Green, or White by pollution potential — this drives the process, validity, and scrutiny.
The Process
Apply to the SPCB with project details, effluent/emission data, and mitigation plans. Inspection may follow before consent is granted.
Statura obtains CTE/CTO consents and manages ongoing environmental compliance for manufacturers.
