Get the right approval at the right stage of your project.

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.

INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION

Your category affects the compliance path.

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.

The need depends on what your activity can discharge, emit or generate.

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.

  • Manufacturing and industrial units
  • Activities releasing trade effluent or sewage
  • Operations generating air emissions
  • Hazardous-waste handling activities
  • Healthcare establishments with biomedical waste requirements
