UPEIDA starts process to get environmental compliance reports every 6 months
The Uttar Pradesh Expressway Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) has introduced a system to prepare environmental compliance reports every six months by laboratories accredited under the Environmental Protection Act and certified by the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL). The accredited labs will not only monitor environmental parameters, but also prepare reports in the prescribed format and upload them online to ensure transparency and promote sustainable industrial development. The initiative has been implemented for projects under the Defence Industrial Corridor and the Industrial Manufacturing and Logistics Cluster (IMLC). According to UPEIDA, the process will soon begin at sites that have received environmental clearances. The move will ensure adherence to environmental norms, while also boosting investor confidence in the state's commitment to responsible development. UPEIDA has received environmental clearance in the districts of Aligarh, Kanpur Nagar, Lucknow, Chitrakoot, and Jhansi, where land acquisition and development work for the Defence Industrial Corridor is currently underway. From now on, environmental parameters in these areas will be regularly monitored. Every six months, the accredited labs will conduct sampling, field inspections, and collect inputs from officials concerned to prepare detailed compliance reports. The report will contain details of the status of major environmental components such as air, water, noise and soil. The reports will also be submitted online to the authorities responsible for environmental clearance, including the State Level Environmental Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) and the Union Ministry of Environment. Meanwhile, the environmental clearance for Agra and Unnao is in its final stages. Once approved, development work will begin as well in these districts, it is learnt. The government said the system adopted by UPEIDA is set to become a model for industries being developed under the Industrial Corridor across the state. This step will play a key role in positioning the state as an environmentally responsible industrial hub, while simultaneously boosting employment, investment, and economic activity, it added.
