Pollution & Environment NOC

Environmental approvals, built on solid ground.

Geologist-led Consent to Establish (CTE) and Consent to Operate (CTO) for industrial plants and commercial buildings, filed with every major State Pollution Control Board.

Hydrogeology & Groundwater

Every drop of water, accounted for.

Aquifer studies, recharge design and Groundwater NOC prepared and signed by qualified hydrogeologists, so your water plan survives scrutiny.

Aravalli Envirolab

Data you can defend before any board.

Our in-house environmental laboratory tests air, stack, water, soil and noise, giving your application and compliance reports one reliable source of truth.

Who We Are

Aravalli Envirolab & Consultancy Services helps manufacturers and developers secure, operate and renew their environmental consents, with geology and laboratory science that stands up to regulatory scrutiny.

Named after one of the oldest mountain systems on earth, we bring the patience and precision of field geology to a process too often treated as mere paperwork. Every application starts on site, with the soil, the water table and surrounding ecosystems.

Our environmental consultants, hydrogeologists and laboratory analysts work as one integrated team, ensuring the data in your file, the design of your pollution controls and the answers to board queries all originate from the same authoritative source.

Our Approach

One accountable team, five disciplined stages.

A single senior engagement lead owns your approval from the very first site visit through to the day consent is issued, and continues tracking statutory conditions after.

  1. 01

    Scoping

    Category, board requirements and full approval roadmap confirmed in the initial briefing.

  2. 02

    Field Study

    Site geology, groundwater resistivity and baseline lab sampling by our own deployed teams.

  3. 03

    Filing

    Technical reports, engineering drawings and portal submission with calculated statutory fees.

  4. 04

    Inspection

    We attend board inspection meetings and resolve technical queries on official record.

  5. 05

    Consent & Care

    Consent issued, conditions tracked, and upcoming renewals flagged months ahead.

Regulatory Brief

CTE or CTO? Know what your project needs.

Under the Water Act (1974) and Air Act (1981), State Pollution Control Boards grant consent in two distinct stages. Your project pollution category determines application stringency.

Swipe to compare 3 Sections →
01 · Pre-Construction Stage 1

Consent to Establish (CTE)

Mandatory Pollution NOC prior to breaking ground or plant expansion.

When Required

Prior to any site construction, machine installation or plant expansion.

Board Scrutiny

Site suitability, layout, zoning & proposed pollution control designs (ETP/APCM).

Approval Timeline

FAQs

Questions industrial clients ask us first.

A Pollution NOC comprises statutory consents granted by the State Pollution Control Board under the Water Act (1974) and Air Act (1981). Any industrial manufacturing facility, mineral processing unit or commercial construction project discharging wastewater, operating boilers/DG sets or emitting air pollutants must obtain Consent to Establish before starting construction, and Consent to Operate before commissioning.

Pollution boards strictly scrutinise groundwater withdrawal, aquifer depth, rainwater harvesting shafts and soil capacity to accept treated effluent. When applications are backed by on-site resistivity logs and reports signed by qualified hydrogeologists, the engineering rationale is defensible, eliminating regulatory queries and costly delays.

Validity ranges from 1 to 5 years depending on whether the unit falls into the Red, Orange or Green category. We recommend initiating renewal testing and documentation 3 to 6 months prior to expiry, ensuring continuous, seamless operations without legal exposure.

Government statutory fees are determined strictly by the state board based on your gross capital investment and pollution category. Our consultancy and laboratory fees depend directly on the scope of sampling, surveys and filings required. You receive an itemised, transparent proposal prior to initiation.
