In the past few years, growing business industries and manufacturing activities have depleted natural resources and have further led to the discharge of massive pollutants into the environment. Therefore, to ensure prevention & mitigation, the state of Haryana formed the Haryana Control Pollution Board in the year 1974 under the pursuance of the Water (Pollution Control & Prevention) Act 1974 and the Environmental Protection Act 1986.
The Haryana State Pollution Control (HSPC) is a state-level authority entrusted with the functions of enforcing adherence to the rules & regulations assuring a quality & safe environment for the people and holding businesses starting & operating under their jurisdiction to follow the established guidelines. Hence, businesses or industries seeking to initiate operations within the state of Haryana shall be required to obtain an NOC including a Consent to Establish (CTE) and Consent to Operate (CTO) based on the level of pollution index score discharged by the industry.
