## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY  OF  CHEMICALS  AND FERTILIZERS

## (SMT. ANUPRIYA PATEL)

(a) to (c): Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) under Ministry of Environment and Climate Change has informed that 24 Red Category Pharmaceutical and Chemical units are currently in  operation  in  the  Union  Territory  of  Dadra  and  Nagar  Haveli  and  Daman  and  Diu (DNH&DD) and all the 24 Units have valid Consolidated Consent  and  Authorization  and hence, not necessitated any action against these units during last five years (2021-2025) as far as valid authorization is concerned. The details of these 24 units are enclosed as Annexure.

(d): Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has informed that Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) has not been made mandatory for all industrial units. Further, at present, no Common Effluent Treatment  Plant  (CETP)  has  been  established  or  is  operational  in  the  Union  Territory  of DNH&DD. Accordingly,  all  industries  generating  trade  effluent  are  required  to  treat  their effluent in individual ETPs and ensure reuse/recycling within the premises in compliance with the prescribed environmental norms.

- (e): Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has informed that though the units mentioned in the Annexure have valid authorization and approvals, some of them have been served notices for standard violations (such as exceeding effluent/emission limits, non-operation of Effluent Treatment Plants, or improper handling of hazardous waste etc.) during the last five years. The year-wise details are as under:

|   Year | Number of Units   |
|--------|-------------------|
|   2021 | Nil               |
|   2022 | 02                |
|   2023 | 01                |
|   2024 | 01                |
|   2025 | 04                |

(f): The Union Territory of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu does not fall under the identified  Critically  Polluted  Areas  (CPAs)  as  per  the  information  provided  by  the  Central Pollution Control Board.
