The environment impact of the industrial
sector has always been a concern. Various emissions from manufacturing units
have a significant effect on the environment. One of the causes of Acid rains
is the poisonous gases emitted by the industries. The impacts are immeasurable
with adverse effects on air, water, and damage to the land. The toxic pollutants
not only damage the health of people living near the sites but also the working
staff. The outlet of the polluted water is the cause of major diseases and
environmental effects. The contaminated water can cause adverse impacts on
plants, soil, irrigation land, fishing, domestic water supply and etc.
The government has been taken every possible step to bring environmental reforms in the Haryana Industrial Area. Various policies have been implemented to reduce the hazardous impact of industries on the environment.
These environmental challenges are always
considered as the major challenge in the areas where industrial units are set
up. With the increase in global warming and other hazardous effects on the
environment along with the globe, the organizations, environmentalists and the
people are becoming aware of the impact. The new industrial area in Haryana
has taken the responsibility to keep eco-friendly practices implemented in the
industrial units. Various environment-related policies have been introduced and
the existing ones are becoming more stringent and smooth to adhere to and become
complaint to. The Enterprise Promotion Policy has introduced various
environment-related reforms such as:
Industry categorization and exemption – On the directive
of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the industries are divided into
green, orange, and red based on the pollution potential. The industries which
fall under green tag have been exempted from consent management.

the Water Act and Air Act can be obtained by the industries in a more
simplified and streamlined way. Various related schemes and policies are
displayed on the website of the Haryana State Pollution Control Board (HSPCB).
The new reforms state the minimum period of consent would be 5 years for the red
category, 10 for orange and lifetime for green tagged industries. The
procedures of inspection of industrial units have also been streamlined.
