Introduction
With growing industrialization and urban development, environmental sustainability has become a major concern. Industries and infrastructure projects must comply with environmental regulations to minimize ecological impact. The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Certificate is a mandatory approval for projects that may affect the environment. It ensures that businesses operate responsibly while maintaining ecological balance.
At Corpzo, we provide end-to-end support for EIA certificate registration, environmental licensing, and impact assessment compliance in India. Our experts assist businesses in navigating complex environmental regulations, ensuring smooth approvals and sustainable operations.
What is an EIA Certificate?
The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Certificate is a legal approval required under the Environmental Protection Act, 1986, for projects that may cause environmental damage. The EIA process evaluates the environmental consequences of proposed activities and suggests measures to reduce their negative impact.
The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC), along with the State Environmental Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA), grants EIA certificates based on project assessments.
Who Needs an EIA Certificate?
EIA certification is mandatory for industries and projects listed under the EIA Notification, 2006. Some of these include:
✔ Manufacturing industries (Chemical, Cement, Textile, Paper, Pharmaceuticals)
✔ Mining & Quarrying projects
✔ Infrastructure & Real Estate projects (Townships, Highways, Airports, Railways)
✔ Thermal Power Plants & Energy Projects
✔ Oil & Gas Exploration Units
✔ Waste Management & Hazardous Waste Processing Facilities
Types of EIA Clearances
1️⃣ Category A Projects – Large-scale industries and projects with significant environmental impact. Approval is granted by the MoEF&CC.
2️⃣ Category B Projects – Projects with a lower environmental impact, approved by the SEIAA at the state level.
