What Is Pollution Consent to Establish?

Pollution Consent to Establish, commonly called CTE, is an environmental consent applicable to eligible new industrial and developmental projects before establishment under the relevant pollution-control framework.

In Odisha, Consent to Establish is associated with compliance under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, as applicable to the proposed project.

The project is assessed based on factors including the nature of the activity, pollution potential, investment and other applicable criteria. Industrial sectors may be classified into categories such as Red, Orange, Green and White under the applicable classification framework.

CTE Should Be Planned Before Factory Establishment

Pollution compliance should be considered during project planning itself. Factory location, manufacturing process, machinery, fuel, water consumption, wastewater generation, air emissions and waste management can all affect the environmental requirements of the project.

Which Projects May Require Pollution CTE?

The requirement for Consent to Establish depends upon the proposed activity and the applicable pollution-control framework. The proposed project should be assessed before application.

Manufacturing Units

Industrial manufacturing and production facilities with applicable environmental requirements.

Food Processing

Food processing, packaged food, beverage, bakery and other eligible processing units.

Agricultural Processing

Agriculture-based processing, storage, value addition and related industrial activities.

Engineering Industries

Engineering, fabrication, machinery and industrial component manufacturing.

Packaging Industries

Packaging materials, containers and industrial packaging manufacturing.

Textile & Garment

Textile processing, garment manufacturing and related industrial activities.

Pharmaceutical Units

Eligible pharmaceutical and healthcare manufacturing activities subject to applicable requirements.

Recycling Projects

Eligible recycling and waste-processing projects subject to applicable requirements.

Pollution Industry Categories

Industrial activities may be classified according to their pollution potential and environmental impact under the applicable classification framework.

01

Red Category

Higher pollution-potential activities subject to applicable consent and environmental requirements.

02

Orange Category

Medium pollution-potential activities subject to applicable consent and environmental requirements.

03

Green Category

Lower pollution-potential activities subject to requirements applicable to the activity.

04

White Category

Activities identified under the applicable white-category framework with corresponding compliance requirements.

Industry Classification Must Be Checked Individually

The category should not be assumed merely from the name of the business. The actual manufacturing process, products, capacity, fuel, emissions, wastewater and other characteristics may be relevant.

Difference Between Pollution CTE and CTO

Consent to Establish (CTE)

CTE relates to establishment of an applicable new project or applicable expansion or activity requiring environmental consent.

Consent to Operate (CTO)

CTO relates to operation of applicable industrial units after the relevant establishment and compliance requirements have been addressed.

CTE Stage

Project planning, site development, factory establishment and environmental planning stage.

CTO Stage

Operational stage involving applicable operating conditions and ongoing environmental compliance.
