Industry playbook
Pharma & Chemicals
Pharmaceutical and chemical plants are almost always red-category industries with the strictest consent conditions, online monitoring requirements and hazardous waste scrutiny. We manage consents, hazardous waste authorization, environmental clearance for new or expanding capacity and the ongoing audits and statements that keep an inspection from turning into a closure notice.
Where it goes wrong
The compliance risks we see most in this sector
- Meeting ZLD or stringent effluent norms written into consent conditions and proving it with monitoring data.
- Securing environmental clearance for capacity expansions or new product lines under the EIA Notification.
- Authorizing and tracking hazardous waste streams such as spent solvents, distillation residues and off-spec batches.
- Keeping OCEMS stacks and effluent analysers calibrated and connected to the CPCB and SPCB servers.
- Managing groundwater abstraction NOCs when water is drawn from borewells for process use.
Your approvals
Services most relevant to you
In the order they are usually needed.
Pollution Control
Consent to Operate (CTO)
Consent to Operate is the SPCB's permission to run your plant, discharge treated effluent and emit through approved stacks. It also fixes the production capacity, fuel, water use and monitoring conditions you will be held to. We prepare the application, get your monitoring done by recognised labs and manage the inspection so production starts on schedule.

Waste Authorizations
Hazardous Waste Authorization
Any occupier who generates, stores, transports, uses or disposes of hazardous waste listed in the Hazardous and Other Wastes Rules needs an authorisation from the State Pollution Control Board in Form 2, valid for five years. We prepare the Form 1 application, set up your storage area, manifests and Form 3 register, and file the Form 4 annual return every 30 June.

EIA & Clearances
Environmental Clearance (EC)
Prior Environmental Clearance is the statutory permission for any project listed in the EIA Notification, 2006 before construction or expansion begins. Whether your project is appraised centrally by the MoEFCC or by your State authority, we prepare the application on PARIVESH, present it to the committee, respond to each query and track the clearance until the letter is issued and conditions are mapped for compliance.

EIA & Clearances
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Study
An EIA study is the scientific backbone of your Environmental Clearance: one season of baseline data, impact prediction and an Environment Management Plan, prepared under Terms of Reference issued by the MoEFCC or SEIAA. We scope the study, run the monitoring through NABL-accredited laboratories and coordinate the NABET/QCI-accredited consultant so the report survives scrutiny at the Expert Appraisal Committee.

- 120–240 working days
Pollution Control
OCEMS Installation & Compliance
Online Continuous Emission and Effluent Monitoring Systems (OCEMS) are mandatory for the 17 highly polluting industrial sectors, common effluent treatment plants, larger STPs and waste incinerators, with real-time data streaming to CPCB and SPCB servers. We specify the right analysers, manage installation and server connectivity, and keep calibration, data availability and consent conditions in order.

- From ₹25,000
- Turnaround
- 20–60 working days
EIA & Clearances
Groundwater Abstraction NOC (CGWA)
Industries, infrastructure projects and mines that draw groundwater through borewells or tubewells need a No Objection Certificate from the Central Ground Water Authority or the State Ground Water Authority. We assess the status of your assessment unit, prepare the application on the NOCAP portal with the hydrogeological report, metering and recharge plan, and manage compliance conditions and renewals.

Audits & Advisory
EHS Legal Compliance Audit
Environment, health and safety obligations in India are spread across central acts, state rules, consent conditions and licences from several regulators. Our EHS compliance audit builds a complete legal register for your operations, verifies compliance for each requirement through documents and site inspection, and gives management a scored dashboard with corrective actions — the same lens a buyer, lender or regulator would apply.

ISO Certifications
ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System (EMS) Certification
ISO 14001:2015 is the international standard for environmental management systems. It asks an organisation to identify its environmental aspects and legal obligations, set objectives, control operations and emergencies, monitor performance and keep improving. For an Indian unit that already holds SPCB consents and waste authorisations, ISO 14001 is the natural next step: it organises those obligations into one system, satisfies buyer and lender ESG questionnaires, and is the certification several State Pollution Control Boards reward with incentives. As environmental specialists, this is the standard we know best.

ISO Certifications
ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health & Safety Management System Certification
ISO 45001:2018 is the international standard for occupational health and safety management systems and the replacement for OHSAS 18001. It requires hazard identification and risk assessment, legal compliance, worker participation, operational controls, emergency preparedness, incident investigation and continual improvement. Indian factories, construction sites and contractors are expected to show an OH&S system in EPC tenders, OEM vendor audits and lender due diligence, and the system doubles as the backbone of Factories Act and BOCW Act compliance.
