Quick answer
Every industry or project in Maharashtra that discharges effluent, emits air pollutants or generates hazardous waste needs MPCB consent: Consent to Establish (CTE) before construction and Consent to Operate (CTO) before production, renewed before expiry. Aaradhya Enviro prepares, files and follows up these applications and tracks consent conditions for units across Maharashtra.

Overview
Every industry, hospital, hotel, large building project or commercial establishment in Maharashtra that discharges effluent, emits air pollutants or generates hazardous waste needs consent from the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB). Consent to Establish (CTE) is required before construction or expansion, and Consent to Operate (CTO) is required before production begins. Both must be renewed and kept current.
Consent applications are rejected or delayed most often because of incomplete documents, a wrong category, missing treatment details or a mismatch between declared and actual capacity. Our team handles the complete process: category assessment, documentation, online filing, replies to MPCB queries, site-visit preparation and follow-up until the consent order is issued. We also keep track of your consent conditions and renewal dates.
