Is your business struggling with Pollution Control Board – PCB compliance and standards? In an era of heightened environmental awareness, regulatory compliance is not just a legal obligation—it’s a crucial aspect of your corporate responsibility and reputation. Non-compliance can lead to hefty penalties, operational shutdowns, and a loss of public trust.

The Challenge: Stringent PCB Standards and Growing Environmental Concerns
According to a 2021 report by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), India generates over 72,368 million litres of sewage per day, yet only 28% is treated. That means a staggering 72% of wastewater is discharged untreated, contaminating water bodies and depleting freshwater resources.
For industries, commercial establishments, and institutional spaces, this presents both a challenge and an opportunity.
The Compliance Challenge
Companies often struggle with:
- Inadequate infrastructure for sewage and effluent treatment.
- High CAPEX requirements for installing conventional STPs.
- Complex manual monitoring and reporting processes.
- Inconsistent operation and maintenance.
- Lack of real-time data for inspections and audits.
As a result, there is a struggle to maintain consistent compliance with PCB discharge standards, especially under increased scrutiny and audits by State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs). Failure to meet Statutory Compliance under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 can result in:
- Loss of green certifications and ESG scores
- Fines up to ₹10 lakh or more
- Legal action and public litigation
- Suspension of factory licenses or operational clearances

Notes:
PCB – Pollution Control Board.A government body responsible for overseeing and enforcing environmental regulations related to pollution. They are responsible for preventing, controlling, and abating pollution of air, water, and land. In India, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) at the federal level and State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs) at the state level are responsible for these duties.
Green Ratings – Green ratings are frameworks that assess and certify the environmental performance of buildings, promoting sustainable construction practices and reducing their overall impact. These systems evaluate a building’s performance across its entire lifecycle, from design and construction to operation and maintenance, by considering factors like energy efficiency, water usage, waste management, and indoor environmental quality.
