We do Environmental Impact Assessments; Environmental Audits and guide our clients in consent management with State Pollution Control Boards

Environment Impact Assessment is required for any project before start of construction, if a project meets any of the criteria as laid down in the Schedule of  notification S.O. 1533E dated 14.9.06 [http://www.envfor.nic.in/legis/eia/so1533.pdf] by Ministry of Environment & Forests (MoEF), Government of India. As per this notification, projects that fall in Category-A of the schedule are cleared at the level of MoEF and those that fall in Category-B are cleared at the level of State Environment Impact Assessment Authorities (SEIAA). In case no SEIAA is notified by MoEF, than all category of projects shall be cleared by MoEF. The  SEIAA are duly notified for the States of Punjab , Himachal Pradesh and Haryana.

The Construction Projects for Environmental Clearance fall under two categories- Category 8(a) Building and Construction projects and Category 8(b) Townships and Area Development projects. No environmental clearance is required if Built-up area of the project is less than 20000 square meter (sq.m) for Category 8(a) and if project area is less than 50 hectare and built up area is less than 1,50,000 sq.m for Category-8(b).
