Though, these industries do not require any consent because of their non-polluting nature. The industries falling under this category operates in accordance with UPPCB categories, the white category industry type has a pollution index from 0-20. This is considered the least pollution industry type.
2. Green Category
Industries with a pollution index of 21 to 40 fall under the Green category. It is essential for these industries to submit consent before forming the industry. As these are considered polluting industries, these industries have to get consent to operate and consent to establish.
3. Orange Category
These industries cover the pollution index of 41 to 59. Orange category industries cannot commence their business without submitting a consent. And just like in the green category, orange category industries also have to submit consents before establishing and operating the industry.
4. Red Category
Ministry of Environment & Forests has put excessively polluting industries under the red category. Additionally, these are not allowed to work in an environmentally delicate or under-ensured territory. Every industry that deposits hazardous and noxious materials comes under the Red category industries.
