Existing Consent to Operate Validity

valid until March 31, 2029

What the regulator did

• The Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB), through a letter dated October 28, 2026, refused the company's application for Consent to Operate for the expansion of its existing facility at Jalgaon, Maharashtra.
• The refusal was made under Section 27 of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and Section 21(4) of the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981.

What the company says went wrong

• The stated reason is non-submission of documentary evidence relating to Environment Clearance, as set out in a show cause notice dated October 15, 2026 received from MPCB.
• The company has said it is reviewing the MPCB's communication and will re-file its application in line with the MPCB's requirements.

What the refusal covers

• The company states the refusal pertains only to the newly commissioned sheds at Plot K-99 and Gat No. 298/1, which were developed as part of its planned expansion to support future growth.
• The Consent to Operate for the existing Jalgaon manufacturing facility remains valid until March 31, 2029, and existing operations continue as usual.

What the company says about impact

• The company does not anticipate any material impact on its existing manufacturing operations, financial performance or other business activities as a result of the refusal.

What this means for a reader

• A Consent to Operate is the pollution control board's permission to run a plant. Here, the refusal relates to the expansion portion, not to the already-operating facility.
• How quickly the company re-files and obtains consent for the new sheds is the thing to watch, since those sheds were built to support future growth.
• The company has said it will update the exchanges on material developments.
