PSR Compliance

State Pollution Control Board CTE (Consent to Establish) and CTO (Consent to Operate) are environmental permits issued by pollution control boards or environmental authorities in India. CTE is granted to industries or projects before they begin construction, expansion, or modification to ensure that their design and plans comply with environmental regulations and standards. Once the construction is completed, the project must apply for a CTO to commence operations, which signifies that the facility is in compliance with all environmental norms and is permitted to run without causing undue harm to the environment. These permits are crucial for industries to operate legally in India while maintaining environmental sustainability, and they involve assessments of various factors like pollution control measures, waste management, and adherence to emissions and effluent standards.
