NOTIFICATION
New Delhi, the 23rd November, 2016
S.O.3518(E).—Whereas, by notification of the Government of India in the erstwhile Ministry of Environment
and Forests number S.O.1533(E), dated the 14th September, 2006 issued under sub-section (1) and clause (v) of sub-
section (2) of section (3) of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 read with clause (d) of the sub-rule (3) of rule 5 of
the Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986, the Central Government directed that on and from the date of its publication,
the required construction of new projects or activities or the expansion or modernisation of existing projects or activities
listed in the Schedule to the said notification entailing the capacity addition with change in process or technology and/ or
product mix shall be undertaken in any part of India only after prior environmental clearance from the Central
Government or as the case may be, by the State Level Environment Impact Assessment Authority, duly constituted by
the Central Government under sub-section (3) of section 3 of the said Act, in accordance with the procedure specified
therein;
And whereas, the Ministry has received suggestions for further streamlining of the implementation of provisions
of the Notification and the suggestions so received were referred to the Expert Committee for consideration and
recommendations. Based on their recommendations the provisions of the said Notification have been reviewed by the
Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change;
And whereas in some industrial projects, information of production process, equipments, estimated pollution
load and planned mitigation measures, which are mentioned in environmental clearance, change after detailed design
engineering which is mostly undertaken after environmental clearance is granted. The Environmental Impact Assessment
Notification, 2006 shall provide for resultant change in environmental clearance based on factual information or data
without having to go through entire environmental clearance process again, provided the proposed change does not result
in any adverse impact on environment;
II (ii) 9
And whereas, the modernisation or change in product mix of existing projects (having environmental clearance)
within existing plot may be exempted from separate environmental clearance if there is no additional pollution load
beyond the earlier approved limit envisaged;
And whereas, the use of pet coke, a by-product of petroleum refinery industry in place of coal, in cement kilns
may be promoted to reduce coal demand of the cement industry. The Government of India also encourages co-
processing. The use of pet coke as fuel in cements kilns does not produce excess SO2 emissions and also helps in further
increasing the usage of fly ash and slag. A change in fuel mix from coal to pet coke may not require an amendment in
environmental clearance of cement units where only coal has been prescribed as fuel;
And whereas clause (a) of sub-rule (3) of rule 5 of the Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986 provides that,
whenever the Central Government considers that prohibition or restrictions of any industry or carrying on any processes
or operation in any area should be imposed, it shall give notice of its intention to do so;
And whereas in exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (1), read with clause (v) of sub-section (2) of
section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 (29 of 1986), a draft notification for making certain amendments in
the Environment Impact Assessment Notification, 2006 was published in the Gazette of India, vide notification of the
Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change number S.O.246(E) dated the 25th January, 2016, inviting
objections and suggestions from all the persons likely to be affected thereby, within a period of sixty days from the date
on which copies of the Gazette containing the said notification were made available to the public;
And whereas, all objections and suggestions received in response to the above mentioned draft notification have
been duly considered by the Central Government;
Now therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (1) and clause (v) of sub-section (2) of
section 3 of the said Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 read with clause (d) of sub-rule (3) of rule 5 of the Environment
(Protection) Rules, 1986, the Central Government hereby makes the following further amendments in the Environment
Impact Assessment Notification, 2006 namely:–

change in process and or technology or involving a change in the product –mix shall be made in Form I and they shall be
considered by the concerned Expert Appraisal Committee or State Level Expert Appraisal Committee within sixty days,
who will decide on the due diligence necessary including preparation of Environment Impact Assessment and public
consultations and the application shall be appraised accordingly for grant of environmental clearance.
(b) Any change in configuration of the plant from the environmental clearance conditions during execution of the project
after detailed engineering shall be exempt from the requirement of environmental clearance, if there is no change in
production and pollution load. The project proponent shall inform the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate
Change / State Level Environment Impact Assessment Authority and the concerned State Pollution Control Board.
(c) Any change in product-mix, change in quantities within products or number of products in the same category for
which environmental clearance has been granted shall be exempt from the requirement of prior environmental clearance
provided that there is no change in the total capacity sanctioned in prior environmental clearance granted earlier under
this notification and there is no increase in pollution load. The project proponent shall follow the procedure for obtaining
No Increase in Pollution Load certificate from the concerned State Pollution Control Board as per the provisions given
in Appendix –XIV.”;
(II) in the Schedule,-
(a) against item 3(b) relating to Cement Plants and the entries relating thereto, the following shall be substituted,

NOTIFICATION
New Delhi, the 14th March, 2017
S.O. 804(E).—Whereas, a draft notification under sub-section (1), and clause (v) of sub-section (2) of Section 3
of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 (29 of 1986) was published in the Gazette of India, Extraordinary, Part II,
Section 3, sub-section (ii), vide number S.O. 1705(E), dated the 10th May, 2016, as required by sub-rule (3) of rule 5 of
the Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986, for finalising the process for appraisal of projects for grant of Terms of
Reference and Environmental Clearance, which have started the work on site, expanded the production beyond the limit
of environmental clearance or changed the product mix without obtaining prior environmental clearance under the
Environment Impact Assessment Notification, 2006 inviting objections and suggestions from all persons likely to be
affected thereby within a period of sixty days from the date on which copies of Gazette containing the said notification
were made available to the public;
2. And whereas, copies of the said notification were made available to the public on the 10th May, 2016;
3. And whereas, all objections and suggestions received in response to the above mentioned draft notification have
been duly considered by the Central Government.
4. Whereas, subject to the provisions of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, under sub-section (1) of section 3 of
the Act, the Central Government has the power to take all such measures as it deems necessary or expedient for the
purpose of protecting and improving the quality of the environment and preventing, controlling, and abating environment
pollution;
5. Whereas, section 5 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 empowers the Central Government to give directions
which reads as “Notwithstanding anything contained in any other law but subject to the provisions of this Act, the
Central Government may, in the exercise of its powers and performance of its functions under this Act, issue directions
in writing to any person, officer or any authority and such person, officer or authority shall be bound to comply with such
directions;
6. Whereas the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change issued Office Memoranda dated 12.12.2012 and
27.06.2013 to establish a process for grant of environmental clearance to cases of violation.
7. Whereas, the Hon’ble High Court of Jharkhand had passed an order dated the 28th November, 2014 in W.P. (C )
No. 2364 of 2014 in the matter of Hindustan Copper Limited Versus Union of India in which the High Court held that the
conditions laid down under Office Memorandum dated 12th December, 2012 in paragraph No. 5 (i) and 5 (ii) were illegal
and unconstitutional and had further held that action for alleged violation would be an independent and separate
proceeding and therefore, consideration of proposal for environment clearance could not await initiation of action against
the project proponent. The Hon’ble Court further ruled that the proposal for environment clearance must be examined on
its merits, independent of any proposed action for alleged violation of the environmental laws;
317
8. And whereas, Hon’ble National Green Tribunal, Principal Bench vide its order dated 7th July, 2015 in Original
Application No. 37 of 2015 and Original Application No. 213 of 2015 had also held that the Office Memoranda dated
12th December, 2012 and 24th June, 2013 on the subject of consideration of proposals for Terms of Reference or
Environment Clearance or Coastal Regulation Zone Clearance involving violations of the Environment (Protection) Act,
1986 or Environment Impact Assessment Notification, 2006 Coastal Regulation Zone Notification, 2011 could not alter
or amend the provisions of the Environment Impact Assessment notification, 2006 and had quashed the same;
9. And whereas, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change and State Environment Impact Assessment
Authorities have been receiving certain proposals under the Environment Impact Assessment Notification, 2006 for grant
of Terms of References and Environmental Clearance for projects which have started the work on site, expanded the
production beyond the limit of environmental clearance or changed the product mix without obtaining prior
environmental clearance;
10. Whereas, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change deems it necessary for the purpose of protecting
and improving the quality of the environment and abating environmental pollution that all entities not complying with
environmental regulation under Environment Impact Assessment Notification, 2006 be brought under compliance with in
the environmental laws in expedient manner;
11. And whereas, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change deems it necessary to bring such projects
and activities in compliance with the environmental laws at the earliest point of time, rather than leaving them
unregulated and unchecked, which will be more damaging to the environment and in furtherance of this objective, the
Government of India deems it essential to establish a process for appraisal of such cases of violation for prescribing
adequate environmental safeguards to entities and the process should be such that it deters violation of provisions of
Environment Impact Assessment Notification, 2006 and the pecuniary benefit of violation and damage to environment is
adequately compensated for;
12. And whereas, Hon’ble Supreme Court in Indian Council for Enviro-Legal Action Vs. Union of India (the Bichhri
village industrial pollution case), while delivering its judgment on 13th. February, 1996, analyzed all the relevant
provisions of law and concluded that damages may be recovered under the provisions of the Environment (Protection)
Act, 1986 (1996 [3] SCC 212). The Hon’ble Court observed that …… section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act,
1986 expressly empowers the Central Government [or its delegate, as the case may be] to "take all such measures as it
deems necessary or expedient for the purpose of protecting and improving the quality of environment.........". Section 5
clothes the Central Government [or its delegate] with the power to issue directions for achieving the objects of the Act.
Read with the wide definition of "environment" in Section 2 (a), Sections 3 and 5 clothe the Central Government with all
such powers as are "necessary or expedient for the purpose of protecting and improving the quality of the environment".
The Central Government is empowered to take all measures and issue all such directions as are called for the above
purpose. In the present case, the said powers will include giving directions for the removal of sludge, for undertaking
remedial measures and also the power to impose the cost of remedial measures on the offending industry and utilize the
amount so recovered for carrying out remedial measures…….. Hon’ble Court has further observed that levy of costs
required for carrying out remedial measures is implicit in Sections 3 and 5 which are couched in very wide and expansive
language. Sections 3 and 5 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, apart from other provisions of Water and Air
Acts, empower the Government to make all such directions and take all such measures as are necessary or expedient for
protecting and promoting the `environment', which expression has been defined in very wide and expansive terms in
Section 2 (a) of the Environment (Protection) Act. This power includes the power to prohibit an activity, close an
industry, direct to carry out remedial measures, and wherever necessary impose the cost of remedial measures upon the
offending industry. The question of liability of the respondents to defray the costs of remedial measures can also be
318
looked into from another angle, which has now come to be accepted universally as a sound principle, viz., the "Polluter
Pays" Principle. "The polluter pays principle demands that the financial costs of preventing or remedying damage caused
by pollution should lie with the undertakings which cause the pollution, or produce the goods which cause the pollution”.
13 (1). Now, therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (1) and sub clause (a) of clause (i) and clause
(v) of sub-section (2) of section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, read with clause (d) of sub-rule (3) of rule
5 of the Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986; the Central Government hereby directs that the projects or activities or
the expansion or modernisation of existing projects or activities requiring prior environmental clearance under the
Environment Impact Assessment Notification, 2006 entailing capacity addition with change in process or technology or
both undertaken in any part of India without obtaining prior environmental clearance from the Central Government or by
the State Level Environment Impact Assessment Authority, as the case may be, duly constituted by the Central
Government under sub-section (3) of Section 3 of the said Act, shall be considered a case of violation of the Environment
Impact Assessment Notification, 2006 and will be dealt strictly as per the procedure specified in the following manner:-
(2) In case the projects or activities requiring prior environmental clearance under Environment Impact Assessment
Notification, 2006 from the concerned Regulatory Authority are brought for environmental clearance after starting the
construction work, or have undertaken expansion, modernization, and change in product- mix without prior
environmental clearance, these projects shall be treated as cases of violations and in such cases, even Category B projects
which are granted environmental clearance by the State Environment Impact Assessment Authority constituted under
sub-section (3) Section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 shall be appraised for grant of environmental
clearance only by the Expert Appraisal Committee and environmental clearance will be granted at the Central level.
(3) In cases of violation, action will be taken against the project proponent by the respective State or State Pollution
Control Board under the provisions of section 19 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 and further, no consent to
operate or occupancy certificate will be issued till the project is granted the environmental clearance.
(4) The cases of violation will be appraised by respective sector Expert Appraisal Committees constituted under sub-
section (3) of Section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 with a view to assess that the project has been
constructed at a site which under prevailing laws is permissible and expansion has been done which can be run
sustainably under compliance of environmental norms with adequate environmental safeguards; and in case, where the
finding of the Expert Appraisal Committee is negative, closure of the project will be recommended along with other
actions under the law.
(5) In case, where the findings of the Expert Appraisal Committee on point at sub-para (4) above are affirmative, the
projects under this category will be prescribed the appropriate Terms of Reference for undertaking Environment Impact
Assessment and preparation of Environment Management Plan. Further, the Expert Appraisal Committee will prescribe a
specific Terms of Reference for the project on assessment of ecological damage, remediation plan and natural and
community resource augmentation plan and it shall be prepared as an independent chapter in the environment impact
assessment report by the accredited consultants. The collection and analysis of data for assessment of ecological damage,
preparation of remediation plan and natural and community resource augmentation plan shall be done by an
environmental laboratory duly notified under Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, or a environmental laboratory
accredited by National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories, or a laboratory of a Council of
Scientific and Industrial Research institution working in the field of environment.
(6) The Expert Appraisal Committee shall stipulate the implementation of Environmental Management Plan,
comprising remediation plan and natural and community resource augmentation plan corresponding to the ecological
damage assessed and economic benefit derived due to violation as a condition of environmental clearance.
319
(7) The project proponent will be required to submit a bank guarantee equivalent to the amount of remediation plan
and Natural and Community Resource Augmentation Plan with the State Pollution Control Board and the quantification
will be recommended by Expert Appraisal Committee and finalized by Regulatory Authority and the bank guarantee
shall be deposited prior to the grant of environmental clearance and will be released after successful implementation of
the remediation plan and Natural and Community Resource Augmentation Plan, and after the recommendation by
regional office of the Ministry, Expert Appraisal Committee and approval of the Regulatory Authority.
14. The projects or activities which are in violation as on date of this notification only will be eligible to apply for
environmental clearance under this notification and the project proponents can apply for environmental clearance under
this notification only within six months from the date of this notification.

New Delhi, the 6th April, 2018
S. O. 1530(E).—Whereas, the Hon’ble Supreme Court, vide judgment dated the 2nd August, 2017 in Writ
Petition (Civil) No. 114 of 2014 in the matter of Common Cause versus Union of India and Ors., inter-alia, has directed
that the validity of the environmental clearance granted for mining projects under the notification number S.O. 60(E),
dated the 27th January, 1994 (hereinafter referred to as the EIA Notification, 1994) of the Government of India in the
erstwhile Ministry of Environment and Forests shall be five years, and for considering expansion under the EIA
Notification, 1994, the annual production of 1993-94 or immediately preceding year shall be the base year;
And whereas, the Hon’ble Supreme Court vide judgment dated the 7th February, 2018 in Special Leave to
Appeal (Civil) No. 32138 of 2015 in the matter of Goa Foundation versus M/s Sesa Sterlite Ltd., & Ors. has reiterated
that the validity of the environmental clearance for mining projects granted under the EIA Notification, 1994 shall be five
years;
333
th
And whereas, the Hon’ble Supreme Court in its aforesaid judgment dated the 7 February, 2018 has held that
para 9 of the notification number S.O. 1533 (E), dated the 14th September, 2006 of the Government of India in the
erstwhile Ministry of Environment and Forests (hereinafter referred to as the EIA Notification, 2006), provides that the
environmental clearance would be valid for the estimated project life subject to a maximum of 30 years;
And whereas, in the view of the above, there would be two categories of cases related to mining projects under
EIA Notification, 1994, namely: -
(a) mining projects, which were granted environmental clearance under the EIA Notification, 1994, and also
granted environmental clearance for expansion / modernisation / amendment under the EIA Notification, 2006;
and
(b) mining projects, which were granted environmental clearance under the EIA Notification, 1994, and but not
obtained environmental clearance for expansion / modernisation / amendment under the EIA Notification, 2006.
And whereas, as per third paragraph above, the projects mentioned in clause (a) of fourth paragraph above do
not suffer from the infirmity of validity of environmental clearance being five years;
And whereas, the projects mentioned in clause (a) of fourth paragraph above, do not suffer from the infirmity of
expansion vis-à-vis the base production as these projects were already appraised and granted environmental clearance
under the EIA Notification, 2006;
And whereas, all mining projects mentioned in clause (b) of fourth paragraph above are required to obtain
environmental clearance under the EIA Notification, 2006, in pursuance of the aforesaid judgments of the Hon’ble
Supreme Court;
And whereas, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change deems it necessary for implementation
of the aforesaid judgments of the Hon’ble Supreme Court as well as for the protecting and improving the quality of
environment and abating the environmental pollution, that all projects mentioned in clause (b) of fourth paragraph above,
be brought under the regulatory framework of the EIA Notification, 2006;
Now, therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (1) and clause (v) of sub-section (2) of
section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 (29 of 1986) read with sub-rule (4) of rule 5 of the Environment
(Protection) Rules, 1986, the Central Government hereby directs, after having dispensed with the requirement of notice
under clause (a) of sub-rule (3) of the rule 5 of the said rules in public interest, for implementation of the aforesaid
judgments of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, that the project proponent in all such cases involving validity of the
environmental clearance and expansion of mining projects vis-à-vis the base production, shall make application within
six months from the date of issue of this notification in Form-1 as given in Appendix-II of the EIA Notification, 2006, for
grant of environmental clearance under the provisions of the EIA Notification, 2006, and all such applications shall be
considered by the concerned Expert Appraisal Committee or the State Level Expert Appraisal Committee, as the case
may be, who shall decide on the due diligence necessary including preparation of Environmental Impact Assessment
Report and public consultation and the application shall be appraised accordingly for grant of environmental clearance.

S.O. 4307(E).—Whereas, the Environment Impact Assessment Notification vide S.O. 1533 dated the
14th September, 2006 (hereinafter referred to as the EIA Notification, 2006), and subsequent amendments issued by the
Government of India provides the “Validity of Environmental Clearance” for mining of minerals is meant for period of
project life as estimated by Expert Appraisal Committee or State Level Expert Appraisal Committee or District Level
Expert Appraisal Committee subject to a maximum of thirty years;
And whereas, the Hon’ble Supreme Court vide judgment dated the 7th February, 2018 in Special Leave to
Appeal (Civil) No. 32138 of 2015 in the matter of Goa Foundation versus M/s Sesa Sterlite Ltd., &Ors., inter alia, has
directed to obtain fresh environmental clearance to those who are successful in obtaining fresh mining leases;
And whereas, the sub-section (6) of section 8A of the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act,
1957 (67 of 1957) prescribes as:-
“Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-sections (2), (3) and sub-section (4), the period of lease granted
before the date of commencement of the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Act, 2015,
where mineral is used for other than captive purpose, shall be extended and be deemed to have been extended up to a
period ending on the 31st March, 2020 with effect from the date of expiry of the period of renewal last made or till the
completion of renewal period, if any, or a period of fifty years from the date of grant of such lease, whichever is later,
subject to the condition that all the terms and conditions of the lease have been complied with”.

“On the expiry of the lease period, the lease shall be put up for auction as per the procedure specified in this
Act”
353
And whereas, in the view of the above, there would be cases related to mining projects granted environmental
clearance under EIA Notification, 2006, wherein validity of the environmental clearance granted for the mining lease
may not have expired, but the mining lease will have ended and freshly re-allocated to the successful bidder as per the
provisions of the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957 (67 of 1957).
And whereas, the mining projects mentioned in paragraph above are required to obtain fresh environmental
clearance under the EIA Notification, 2006, in pursuance of the aforesaid judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court;
And whereas, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change deems it necessary for
implementation of the aforesaid judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court as well as continuation of the mining activity as
per the approved mining scheme, mining plan, production capacity, mine lease area specified in the environmental
clearance granted under the provisions of the EIA Notification, 2006, as these mining projects were already appraised
and the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Environmental Management Plan (EMP) have been considered by
the concerned Expert Appraisal Committee or the State Level Expert Appraisal Committee, as the case may be, and
granted environmental clearance by the regulatory authority concerned, these projects need to be granted fresh
environmental clearance expeditiously so that their mining activity does not get disrupted as per the earlier approved
environmental clearance;
And whereas, therefore, a draft notification was published in exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (1)
and clause (v) of sub-section (2) of section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 (29 of 1986) read with

section 3 of the said Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 (29 of 1986), read with clause (d) of sub-rule (3) of rule 5 of the
Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986, the Central Government hereby directs that for implementation of the aforesaid
judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court dated the 7th February, 2018 in Special Leave to Appeal (Civil) No. 32138 of
2015 in the matter of Goa Foundation versus M/s Sesa Sterlite Ltd., &Ors, as well as, continuation of the mining activity
without any changes to production capacity, mine lease area specified in the environmental clearance granted under the
provisions of the EIA Notification, 2006 through an expeditious mechanism for grant of fresh environmental clearance,
