(b) and (c): Yes,  Sir.  Industrial  units  in  Plastic  Parks  are  required  to  obtain  necessary environmental  clearances  and  'No  Objection  Certificates'  from  the  concerned State Pollution  Control  Boards  prior  to  commencement  of  operations  and  are  required  to comply  with  the  environmental  norms prescribed by the competent authorities.

Further,  Plastic  Parks  are  planned  with  environmental  management  infrastructure and  eco-industrial  features  such  as  sewerage  treatment  plants  (STPs),  common  effluent treatment  plants  (CETPs),  plastic  waste  recycling  facilities,  solid  and  hazardous  waste management systems and sanitation infrastructure. Adequate green belts and open spaces are  also  provided  in  the  park  layout  to  mitigate  environmental  impact  and  promote environmentally sustainable industrial development.

(d): Incentives  for  plastic  processing  and  reprocessing  units  in  Plastic  Parks  are primarily  provided  by  the  respective  State  Governments  under  their  Industrial  Policies. These  incentives  generally  include  capital  subsidy  on  fixed  capital  investment,  interest subsidy,  reimbursement  of  State  GST,  exemption  from  electricity  duty,  power  tariff subsidy,  employment  generation  subsidy,  reimbursement  of  stamp  duty  and  land-related incentives.

In  addition,  under  the  Scheme  for  Setting  up  of  Plastic  Parks,  the  Government  of India provides financial assistance for the creation of common infrastructure facilities such as processing facilities, waste management systems,  testing  facilities  and  other  utilities  in the  parks,  which  also  support  plastic  processing  and  recycling  units  by  reducing  their capital and operational costs.
