  3. thanks govind for the prompt reply. Another clarification then is there an Act which recommends environmental clearance. is it by any chance the EPA 1986. because we have tourism which was thrown out of the EIA notification in 2006 and if we have to say that tourism should be given environmental clearance even when its not there in the EIA notifcation of 2006 then what act does it fall under?

  4. Environmental Clearance for projects passed before the notification came out cannot unfortunately be reviewed for such a clearance. Environmental Clearance is of course a broader umbrella term under which EIA is one (major) aspect. Environmental Clearance may also require Forest Clearance, SPCB clearance etc.

  5. a very informative page on the EIA. i would like to know if environmental clearance for any project that is no longer a part of the EIA notification of 2006 be asked for. ANd therefore is environmental clearance a broader umbrella for EIA notification . please do give your feedback

  6. An excellent page on EIA. No doubt, we have done well, but since
    the growth of the country is gaining momentum, there is a need of continuous change of policies. I hope our words are taken note of and will
    help in future enrichment of EIA processes and implementations.

  7. It is for time to tell if the moef reverts to the earlier notification of 1996 which was way2 much better than this one.

  8. Yes, certainly hear a lot about EIAs over here too. More and more developments (housing etc) need to have one done before planning conscent is considered. There are even jobs dedicated to carrying out EIAs.
