Setting up a biomass pellet manufacturing unit in Maharashtra requires you to follow several legal and environmental guidelines. These ensure your plant operates safely and does not harm the surrounding environment.

Here’s a basic list of permissions and compliances you’ll need:

Factory License: Register under the Factory Act if you employ 10+ workers and use power.

MSME Udyam Registration: For availing subsidies and formal recognition.

Consent from Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB): You need Consent to Establish (CTE) before construction and Consent to Operate (CTO) after setting up the plant. This includes:

Air and noise pollution limits.

Proper ash disposal and dust control systems.

Fire Safety Clearance: Especially important due to the flammable nature of dry biomass.

Labour Law Compliance: Register under ESIC, PF, and maintain worker safety norms.

Environment Impact Assessment (EIA): For large-scale plants, EIA may be mandatory depending on size and output.

Delays in these approvals can hold back operations. Therefore, it’s wise to hire a compliance consultant or approach your district’s Udyog Mitra cell for guidance. Getting these right from the start avoids penalties and ensures smooth functioning.
