Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in India

Q: Is EIA mandatory for all projects in India?

No. The EIA Notification 2006 lists the specific projects that need an Environmental Clearance, dividing them into Category A and B.

Q: Who are the main authorities that grant Environmental Clearance (EC)?

For large Category A projects, the central government's Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change (MoEFCC) gives the EC. For smaller Category B projects, the State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) gives it.

Q: How long does the EIA process usually take?

The time varies. It can be a few months for a simple project or over a year for a large, complex one.

Q: What happens if my EIA application is rejected?

The government will tell you why it was rejected. You can fix the issues in your project plan and EIA report and apply again.

Q: Is public consultation required for every project?

No. It is required for all Category A and Category B1 projects but not for Category B2 projects.

Q: What are the consequences of starting a project without an EC?

It is illegal to start a listed project without an EC. It can lead to large fines, jail time, or an order to stop the project completely.

Q: What is an Environmental Management Plan (EMP)?

An Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is a key part of the EIA report. It is a detailed plan that shows exactly how the project will manage and reduce its negative environmental effects.

Q: How much does an EIA cost in India?

The cost depends on the project's size and complexity. It can range from a few lakhs to several crores of rupees.

Q: Do I have to submit compliance reports after getting clearance?

Yes. You must send reports every six months to the government, showing that you are following all the rules mentioned in your EC.
