What is Environmental Clearance?

Environmental Clearance (EC) is mandatory under the Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) Notification, 2006 for all Category A and Category B projects above specified thresholds. It is granted by MoEFCC (for Category A) or State/UT Level Environmental Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA, for Category B) after a thorough evaluation of environmental impacts. No construction or operation can begin without EC for applicable projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between EC and PCB NOC?+
EC is granted by MoEFCC/SEIAA for overall project impact assessment. PCB NOC (CTE/CTO) is for specific air/water pollution control. Both are required for major industries.
Is public hearing mandatory for all EC projects?+
Public hearing is mandatory for Category A projects and Category B1 projects. Category B2 projects with lower impact may be exempted from public hearing.
How long is Environmental Clearance valid?+
EC is typically valid for 5–10 years from the date of grant, depending on project type. It may be extended for another 5 years upon application.
Can construction start during EC processing?+
No. EC must be obtained before any construction activity begins. Site preparation and tree felling also require prior forest clearance if applicable.
What is an EIA consultant and why is one needed?+
EIA consultants are NABET-accredited firms that conduct the baseline environmental study, prepare the EIA report, and represent the project before the appraisal committee.
