What it means in practice

A leather & footwear unit (NIC 15) operating in Jharkhand typically triggers State PCB Consent to Establish (CTE) because of the unit's CPCB category (Red/Orange/Green/White) and the use of power, water and chemicals.

The day-to-day administering authority will be the Jharkhand Pollution Control Board.

Any industrial unit in Red/Orange/Green category must obtain a one-time Consent to Establish from the State Pollution Control Board before commencing construction. The CPCB classification of 419 sectors determines category and validity period.
