Why PCB Licence Matters in Telangana
Telangana is a rapidly growing industrial and startup hub, home to manufacturing units, pharma parks, IT campuses, and infrastructure projects. Any activity that generates air emissions, effluents, or waste requires mandatory approval from the Telangana State Pollution Control Board (TSPCB). Operating without valid consent can result in closure notices, heavy penalties, and legal prosecution.

Everything you need to know about Pollution Control Board compliance in Telangana
What is PCB Licence?
A mandatory regulatory approval required by any industry, establishment, or project that has potential to cause air, water, or land pollution in the state.
Role of TSPCB
The Telangana State Pollution Control Board is the statutory authority responsible for implementing environmental laws and granting operational consents in the state.
CTE vs CTO
Consent to Establish (CTE) is required before setting up. Consent to Operate (CTO) is needed before commencing operations after establishment.
Legal Risks of Non-Compliance
Operating without valid TSPCB consent can result in: closure directions, imprisonment up to 7 years, fines up to ₹1 lakh per day, and permanent cancellation of operations. Don't risk your business—ensure compliance.
