Consent to Establish (CTE) & Consent to Operate (CTO)
Obtaining Consent to Establish (CTE) and Consent to Operate (CTO) is a mandatory regulatory requirement for industries and projects under environmental laws in India. These approvals are issued by the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) and Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) to ensure that industrial activities comply with environmental standards and pollution control norms.
At Korde Environment Engineering LLP, we provide end-to-end assistance for obtaining CTE & CTO approvals, ensuring a smooth, compliant, and hassle-free process for your business.
What is Consent to Establish (CTE)?
Consent to Establish (CTE) is the first approval required before setting up any industrial unit or project. It ensures that the proposed activity is environmentally viable and meets regulatory requirements.
- Assessment of project location and environmental impact
- Approval of pollution control measures before construction
- Compliance with zoning and environmental regulations
What is Consent to Operate (CTO)?
Consent to Operate (CTO) is required after the project is established and before starting operations. It certifies that the unit has installed necessary pollution control systems and complies with environmental norms.
- Verification of installed pollution control systems
- Monitoring of emissions and waste management practices
- Ensuring continuous compliance with environmental standards
