From setting up a new unit to keeping an existing operation compliant, TANVI Consultancy supports the MPCB consent journey with documentation, coordination and follow-up.
MPCB consent is an important environmental approval for many industries and activities in Maharashtra. The requirement depends on the nature of the activity, pollution potential, emissions, effluent, waste generation and other applicable factors. TANVI Consultancy & Services provides practical support across the consent lifecycle—from initial assessment and application preparation to follow-up, renewal, amendment and expansion-related work.
MPCB classifies industrial sectors according to pollution potential. The current MPCB framework references Red, Orange, Green, White and Blue categories. The exact classification should always be checked against the latest list for the specific activity.
MPCB's classification framework is periodically updated. Check the latest MPCB/CPCB classification applicable to the exact industry before filing.
MPCB's official FAQ explains that industries or processes likely to discharge sewage or trade effluent, or emit air pollution, may need consent under the applicable Water and Air Acts. Certain hazardous-waste and biomedical-waste activities can also require separate authorization.
The applicable framework depends on the nature of the activity and its pollution or waste profile.
Framework for prevention and control of water pollution and relevant discharges.
Framework for prevention and control of air pollution and applicable emissions.
Additional waste-management requirements may apply to specific activities.
Other standards and rules may apply depending on the project and process.
We can structure the engagement around the stage and change involved in your unit.
CTE is the pre-establishment stage consent for activities that require it. TANVI Consultancy can help assess the case and organise the information needed for the application.
CTO is the operating-stage consent required before production or trial production where applicable. TANVI Consultancy can support the operational documentation and coordination.
Consent to Operate is issued for a defined period and needs renewal as applicable. TANVI Consultancy can help plan and prepare the renewal submission.
Changes in capacity, products, process, machinery or other project parameters may require consent review or an amendment / expansion application.
The final checklist depends on the project and stage. Common information can include:
Review the activity, location, process, products, capacity and relevant pollution-control aspects.
Confirm whether the requirement concerns establishment, operation, renewal or a change such as amendment / expansion.
Organise application details, supporting documents, process information and applicable pollution-control details.
Coordinate the submission and respond to observations or additional information requests as required.
Follow the relevant stage and communicate the next action, condition or follow-up item to the client.
Our approach centres on understanding the requirement, preparing information carefully, coordinating communication and keeping the client informed about the next step.
Share the basic details and discuss the likely consent path, documents and next steps.
This page provides general information. Applicable requirements, classifications, validity and documentation should be confirmed against the latest MPCB / CPCB guidance for the specific activity and project.
