State Pollution Control Board: Role & Key Functions

The State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) plays an important role in regulating pollution and protecting the environment within a state. It monitors industrial activities, regulates emissions and effluent discharge, and implements applicable environmental laws and regulations. Businesses involved in manufacturing, processing, infrastructure, waste management, or other potentially polluting activities may need approvals or consents from the concerned SPCB. Depending on the activity and project stage, businesses may require Consent to Establish (CTE) and Consent to Operate (CTO). The Board may also regulate hazardous waste, biomedical waste, plastic waste, air pollution, water pollution, and other environmental concerns. Obtaining the appropriate consent and maintaining ongoing compliance can help businesses avoid regulatory issues and operate responsibly.
