Pollution Control Board Consent (CTE & CTO)
Pollution Control Consent (CTE and CTO) — We Handle It
Every new manufacturing unit needs pollution control consent from the State Board — Consent to Establish before construction and Consent to Operate before production. Prospect Legal manages your pollution control consent application, from red-orange-green category classification to final approval. Call or WhatsApp to get started.
Pollution Control Board consent is the approval a business needs to set up and run an industrial unit. In short, you first get Consent to Establish, then Consent to Operate. However, the application depends on your category and pollution load. Therefore, Prospect Legal handles both consents for you. As a result, your unit is set up and run with full environmental clearance.

What are CTE and CTO, and who needs them?
CTE and CTO are the two consents from the State Pollution Control Board. Simply put, Consent to Establish comes before you build, and Consent to Operate comes before you run. Therefore, they cover setup and operation. Above all, most industrial and commercial units must hold them.
Many businesses need them. First, manufacturing units across categories require both consents. Next, some service and commercial units do too. Also, the category depends on the pollution potential. Because the process is technical, expert help avoids rejection.
