Overview of Consent for Establishment (CFE) from SPCB
Consent for Establishment (CFE), also known as Consent to Establish (CTE), is a crucial NOC that regulates the release of air emissions, wastewater, and noise levels from industries. It is mandatory for businesses, projects, and units that can potentially pollute the environment.
The State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) or Pollution Control Committee (PCC) issues the NOC into three categories – red, orange, and green. While some states maintain a list of white or exempted category, an application informing the board is still required. Entrepreneurs must apply for CFE before setting up their unit with all relevant documents. They will need a final Consent to Operate (CTO) after the construction and setup of the unit to commence operations. SPCB/PCC have been empowered under the Water and Air Act to regulate such establishments in their jurisdiction.
