What are the types of consent?

The three types of consents issued under the Water (P & CP) Act 1974 and Air (P & CP) Act 1981 are crucial for industries and activities to ensure compliance with environmental norms.

Consent to Establish : is required before starting the construction of an industry or activity.

Consent to Operate, which must be obtained before beginning production, is valid for a specific duration. Finally, the

Renewal of Consent to Operate is granted after the initial consent period expires, allowing industries to continue their operations while maintaining environmental standards. These consents help regulate pollution control measures, safeguard public health, and promote sustainable industrial practices.
