Why Environmental Clearances Matter

Environmental clearances are mandatory for projects that may impact land, air, water, or ecosystems. Regulatory bodies such as the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) and State Pollution Control Boards require detailed assessments before granting permission to proceed. Failure to obtain these clearances can lead to legal action, project delays, heavy fines, or complete shutdowns.

Our expertise ensures that your project meets every requirement, minimising risks and ensuring smooth execution.

Key Types of Environmental Approvals We Assist With

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Clearance

An EIA clearance is required for projects that have significant environmental implications. This involves preparing an Environmental Impact Assessment report, conducting public hearings, and obtaining approval from the Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC).

We manage the entire process, from EIA report preparation to representation before regulatory authorities.

Consent to Establish (CTE) and Consent to Operate (CTO)

Before setting up or operating an industrial unit, businesses must obtain a CTE and CTO from the State Pollution Control Board. These consents ensure that the industry complies with prescribed environmental norms.

HECS streamlines the documentation, application submission, follow-ups, and renewals, ensuring full regulatory compliance.

Forest Clearance

If your project involves using forest land, a forest clearance under the Forest Conservation Act, 1980, is necessary. This clearance involves multiple stages, including site inspection, detailed project proposals, and compliance with compensatory afforestation requirements.

Our team helps you navigate this complex process with precision and speed.

Wildlife Clearance

Projects located near protected areas must obtain wildlife clearance from the National Board for Wildlife (NBWL). This approval assesses the project's impact on wildlife habitats and ensures minimal disturbance to biodiversity.

We coordinate closely with wildlife authorities to ensure your project receives the necessary permissions without unnecessary delays.

Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Clearance

Activities along coastal areas require CRZ clearance as per the Coastal Regulation Zone Notification. This ensures protection of sensitive coastal ecosystems.

HECS provides end-to-end support, from CRZ mapping to application submission and authority liaison.
