Do you want to launch or grow an environmentally impactful business in Telangana? Getting a TSPCB certificate is essential whether you're opening a manufacturing facility, hospital, hotel, or any other business that produces waste or emissions. To prevent pollution of the air, water, and land, the Telangana State Pollution Control Board (TSPCB) makes sure that all companies follow environmental laws.

From eligibility and documentation to online application and final approval, this guide will take you through every step of the TSPCB registration procedure. This comprehensive handbook is your go-to resource whether you're applying for the first time or renewing your TSPCB certification.

 What Is the TSPCB Certificate?

The TSPCB certificate is an official approval issued by the Telangana State Pollution Control Board under various environmental laws, including:

  • The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974

  • The Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981

  • The Environment (Protection) Act, 1986

Depending on your stage of operations and type of business, you may need:

  • Consent for Establishment (CFE)—before setting up operations

  • Consent for Operation (CFO)—before starting actual operations

  • Waste-related Authorisations—for hazardous, biomedical, e-waste, plastic, etc.

 Who Needs TSPCB Registration?

  • Manufacturing and industrial units

  • Hotels, resorts, and restaurants

  • Hospitals and diagnostic centers

  • Infrastructure and real estate developers

  • Automobile service centers

  • Poultry and dairy farms

  • Hazardous or biomedical waste generators

The TSPCB classifies industries into red, orange, green, and white categories based on their pollution potential. The requirements vary based on this classification.
