MPCB Reduces Industrial Approval Timelines by Over 50% to Boost Maharashtra Investments

The Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) has reduced industrial approval and renewal timelines by over 50%, aiming to accelerate investment and improve ease of doing business in the state. The revised deadlines apply to red, orange, and green category industries, with approvals now processed faster through a digital, faceless system. This reform is part of Maharashtra's broader strategy to boost industrial growth and streamline regulatory processes, drawing on best practices from other states.
