What Is Pollution Consent to Operate (CTO)?

Consent to Operate, commonly known as CTO, is an environmental consent applicable to eligible industrial and other establishments before starting or continuing operations under the applicable pollution-control framework.

According to the Odisha State Pollution Control Board, applicable running units and units before starting operation, including industries, mines, Urban Local Bodies and healthcare units as applicable, have to apply for Consent to Operate.

The application is made to the Board with the prescribed fees, documents and information through the applicable online services. The Board considers compliance with environmental laws while processing the consent.
