STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARAS (a) TO (f) OF THE LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. 368 DUE FOR REPLY ON 27.03.2023 REGARDING 'AIR POLLUTION  FROM  INDUSTRIES'  RAISED  BY  SHRI  KRUPAL  BALAJI  TUMANE AND  SHRIMATI  BHAVANA  PUNDALIKRAO  GAWALI,  HON'BLE  MEMBERS  OF PARLIAMENT

(a) & (b)

Major steps taken by the Government for controlling the air pollution by industries is given as Annexure-I.

In compliance to the orders of the Hon'ble Supreme Court, two experimental pilot projects of smog towers, one at AnandVihar by Central Government and another at Connaught Place by Delhi  Government  have  been  commissioned.  Performance  of  the  smog  towers  is  under observation  and  further  utility/  replication  will  depend  on  the  performance  results  of  smog towers and other relevant issues.

(c) to (f)

No  complaint(s)  has  been  received  by  Central  Pollution  Control  Board  and  Maharashtra Pollution  Control  Board  against  pharmaceuticals  industries  in  Maharashtra  during  the  last three years.

CPCB has initiated penal action in the form of imposing Environmental Compensation (EC) against  those  violating  norms  for  setting  up  and  maintaining  pollution  control  systems  in industries  or  facilities.  CPCB  has  evolved  a  methodology  for  levying  such  EC  against  the industries  /facilities  not-complying  with  CPCB's  directions.  A  detail  of  Environmental Compensation imposed by CPCB on 20 Chemical industries is given as Annexure- II.

As per the information received from State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs) and Pollution Control Committees (PCCs) including Maharashtra, there are total 4,89,864 industries in the country.  Out of which, 4,40,989 units are operational and 48,875 industries are self-closed. Number of complying and non-complying units are 4,12,823 and 28,166, respectively. Show cause  notice  to  18,941  units  and  closure  directions  to  2,616  units  were  issued  for  noncompliance. Legal actions were taken against 158 units and the State-wise compliance status of industries is given is Annexure-III.

For prevention and control of pollution, CPCB, SPCBs/ PCCs have issued various directions under Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 and Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, etc. The CPCB is carrying out inspection  of  these  industries  based  on  computer  generated  alerts  from  Online  Continuous Effluent/ Emission Monitoring System (OCEMS) since 2016-17.

- VI. Categorisation of 254 industrial sectors into red (61), orange (90), green (65) and white (38) categories based on its pollution potential
- VII. Action by Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) against defaulters responsible for increase in all types of pollution (noncompliance to the effluent / emission norms etc.) in the country under  the  provisions  of    Water  (Prevention  and  Control  of  Pollution)  Act,  1974,  Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 and Environment (Protection) Act, 1986
