Pollution Control Board Licence in West Bengal
Expert environmental compliance services for industries, MSMEs & commercial establishments across West Bengal
Why Environmental Compliance Matters in West Bengal
West Bengal is a major industrial, logistics, and port-driven economy with manufacturing units, MSMEs, healthcare facilities, and infrastructure projects. Any activity generating air emissions, effluents, or waste requires mandatory approval from the West Bengal Pollution Control Board (WBPCB).
Non-Compliance Risks
Operating without valid WBPCB consent can result in heavy penalties, closure notices, criminal prosecution, and permanent blacklisting. Protect your business with proper licensing.
What is a Pollution Control Board Licence?
A Pollution Control Board Licence is a mandatory environmental clearance required under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981.
The West Bengal Pollution Control Board (WBPCB) is the state regulatory authority responsible for preventing, controlling, and abating environmental pollution across all districts of West Bengal.
Consent to Establish (CTE)
Required before starting construction or setting up any industrial unit. This is your preliminary environmental approval.
Consent to Operate (CTO)
Required before commencing operations. Granted after verifying pollution control measures are installed and functional.
Renewal & Compliance
CTO must be renewed periodically (annually or every 5 years based on category) with environmental compliance returns.
