Operators of 25 industrial clusters must be aware of Long-Pending Consent Process. DPCC resumes processing of Consent to Establish and Consent to Operate for 25 industrial clusters notified for redevelopment under MPD-2021. Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa calls it a ‘must’ towards the Environment Action Plan 2025. These clusters were awaiting redevelopment approvals as per Master Plan of Delhi 2021 (MPD-2021). Consent to Establish (CTE) and Consent to Operate (CTO) applications had been on hold since 2023.
The move comes after the Industries Department conveyed that the new timelines for redevelopment are under active consideration by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA), and redevelopment in industrial areas will carry out accordingly.
“This is not just an administrative clearance—it is a roadmap for cleaner, greener, and compliant industries in Delhi. With Consent applications now being processed, we are ensuring that no industrial activity bypasses environmental checks. It is a significant milestone under our Environment Action Plan 2025,”
Manjinder Singh Sirsa, Cabinet Minister for Industries and Environment.
