Step-by-Step procedure for establishing and operating an industrial

unit in India from the environmental view point :
1. If the small scale industry and investment is less than rupee one Crore, environment clearance is not
required.

2. For project under category-I area specific notification is required.

3. For project under category-II site clearance is required from MEF. After site clearance
environmental clearance is required by submitting the proposal to Impact Assessment Agencies
(IAA) of MEF.

4. For the project under category-III and IV environmental clearance is required by submitting the
proposal to IAA.

5. If there are deficiencies in the proposal, IAA may ask the industry to resubmit the proposal or may

Selection of right location for an industrial unit

The following siting guidelines should be taken into account while identifying a
suitable site for setting-up an industry to minimize regulatory interventions.
• No forest land should be converted for non-forest activity for the
sustenance of an industry;
• No prime agricultural land shall be converted into an industrial site;
• Within the acquired site, the industry unit must be located at the lowest
elevation to hidden from general vision;

• The green belt between two adjoining large scale industries’shall

be one kilometer;
• Enough space should be provided for storage of solid wastes ;
