About DPCC

DPCC documents are necessary to ascertain DPCC consent. DPCC is the main organization that issues industrial units to get mandatory consent to establish/operate. It classifies the industries into white, green, red, and orange. The documents required for each category is different, which we’ll discuss in this blog.

Consent To Operate And Consent To Establish

Delhi comes under the pollution control area. Hence, every industry is to take Consent To Establish and Consent To Operate from the DPCC. Otherwise, no one else is to establish or operate any industry in Delhi.

This certificate shows that the industry will not harm the environment. If you wish to establish an industry that will discharge waste in the stream, well, sewer or land, then obtaining this certificate is mandatory.

Some other key-points

 There are some important points that you need to take care of:

1. First of all, the classification of industries in Delhi is done based on their capital and pollution potential.
2. Second, of all, there is no need to acquire consent to establish and operate in the case of the white category. In such a case, there is a need to file an undertaking to DPCC. Every other industry needs to have both consent to establish and consent to operate as per the Air and Water Act.
3. In addition to the mentioned above, a new notification dated 10th June 2019, white category industries need to register online along with the document checklist. So, for this, you need to pay a one-time fee of Rs.10,000.
4. The validity of consent to establish is 1-7 years. The consent to operate for the red/orange and green category is 5 years and 10 years respectively.
