Dear Mr. Ashish,

Please mention your capacity of cement plant.

1) If plant capacity (production capacity) is > or equal to 1.0 million tonnes/annum, that project is falls under Category "A" as per EIA Notification & Require to take Environmental Clearance (EC) from Ministry of Environment & Forests (MoEF), Delhi.
2) If plant capacity (production capacity) is < 1.0 million tonnes/annum, that project is falls under Category "B" & Require to take EC from MoEF.

3) Project location should not fall with in 10 Km of any Protected Areas & Eco-sensitive areas etc, If project falls with in 10 Km radius (if there is no declared Eco-sensitive Zone around NP/WLS/PA), then you have to take NBWL clearance.

To get EC, Major issues may as follow:
1) To conduct Public Hearing
2) To take approval for GW abstraction from CGWA.
