What is Consent to Establish (CTE)?

Consent to Establish (CTE) is a mandatory environmental approval required before starting any industrial construction, setup, or expansion in India.

It is issued by the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) under the Water Act 1974 and Air Act 1981.

CTE ensures that the proposed project follows environmental rules before installation of machinery or construction.

You must obtain CTE before:

  • Factory construction
  • Plant installation
  • Industrial expansion
  • New project setup
  • Machinery installation

After setup, you must apply for Consent to Operate (CTO).
