&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;In 2018, India diluted environmental safeguards when it &amp;lsquo;standardised&amp;rsquo; or made simpler permissions for industry by expert panels. Now, as the government pushes the use of dirtier domestic coal by power plants, further dilution is underway, increasing health risks and imperilling the environment&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi:&lt;/em&gt; Standardised conditions will be &amp;ldquo;monitorable&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;They will bring &amp;ldquo;uniformity&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;They will help in &amp;ldquo;expediting the process of environmental clearance without compromising environmental norms&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;These are claims the ministry of environment, forests and climate change (MoEFCC) has been making since 2018, when it &amp;ldquo;standardised&amp;rdquo; or made simpler environmental clearance conditions for industrial and infrastructure sectors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;However, except for speeding environmental clearance, none of these claims hold true, an Article 14 analysis of the standardised conditions granted to coal and thermal projects has revealed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;em&gt;The &amp;ldquo;standardisation&amp;rdquo; exercise is replacing clearly stated safeguards with loose and ambiguous conditions, documentation is replacing action, and monitoring of key environmental impacts is no longer a part of environmental permissions.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Most industrial, extractive and infrastructure projects require an environmental clearance before beginning operations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Under the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Notification 2006, a sector-specific expert appraisal panel at the Centre or a generic state-level panel evaluates environmental and social impacts of a proposed project. Based on its evaluation, proposals are recommended or rejected. If recommended, the panel suggests safeguards in the form of environmental conditions to mitigate impacts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;In 2018, India diluted environmental safeguards when it &amp;lsquo;standardised&amp;rsquo; or made simpler permissions for industry by expert panels. Now, as the government pushes the use of dirtier domestic coal by power plants, further dilution is underway, increasing health risks and imperilling the environment&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;However, except for speeding environmental clearance, none of these claims hold true, an Article 14 analysis of the standardised conditions granted to coal and thermal projects has revealed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;em&gt;The &amp;ldquo;standardisation&amp;rdquo; exercise is replacing clearly stated safeguards with loose and ambiguous conditions, documentation is replacing action, and monitoring of key environmental impacts is no longer a part of environmental permissions.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;In 2018, India diluted environmental safeguards when it &amp;lsquo;standardised&amp;rsquo; or made simpler permissions for industry by expert panels. Now, as the government pushes the use of dirtier domestic coal by power plants, further dilution is underway, increasing health risks and imperilling the environment&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi:&lt;/em&gt; Standardised conditions will be &amp;ldquo;monitorable&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;They will bring &amp;ldquo;uniformity&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;They will help in &amp;ldquo;expediting the process of environmental clearance without compromising environmental norms&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;These are claims the ministry of environment, forests and climate change (MoEFCC) has been making since 2018, when it &amp;ldquo;standardised&amp;rdquo; or made simpler environmental clearance conditions for industrial and infrastructure sectors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;However, except for speeding environmental clearance, none of these claims hold true, an Article 14 analysis of the standardised conditions granted to coal and thermal projects has revealed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;em&gt;The &amp;ldquo;standardisation&amp;rdquo; exercise is replacing clearly stated safeguards with loose and ambiguous conditions, documentation is replacing action, and monitoring of key environmental impacts is no longer a part of environmental permissions.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Most industrial, extractive and infrastructure projects require an environmental clearance before beginning operations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Under the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Notification 2006, a sector-specific expert appraisal panel at the Centre or a generic state-level panel evaluates environmental and social impacts of a proposed project.

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;In 2018, India diluted environmental safeguards when it &amp;lsquo;standardised&amp;rsquo; or made simpler permissions for industry by expert panels. Now, as the government pushes the use of dirtier domestic coal by power plants, further dilution is underway, increasing health risks and imperilling the environment&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi:&lt;/em&gt; Standardised conditions will be &amp;ldquo;monitorable&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;They will bring &amp;ldquo;uniformity&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;They will help in &amp;ldquo;expediting the process of environmental clearance without compromising environmental norms&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;These are claims the ministry of environment, forests and climate change (MoEFCC) has been making since 2018, when it &amp;ldquo;standardised&amp;rdquo; or made simpler environmental clearance conditions for industrial and infrastructure sectors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;However, except for speeding environmental clearance, none of these claims hold true, an Article 14 analysis of the standardised conditions granted to coal and thermal projects has revealed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;em&gt;The &amp;ldquo;standardisation&amp;rdquo; exercise is replacing clearly stated safeguards with loose and ambiguous conditions, documentation is replacing action, and monitoring of key environmental impacts is no longer a part of environmental permissions.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Most industrial, extractive and infrastructure projects require an environmental clearance before beginning operations.&lt;/p&gt;

Govt Dilutes Environmental Safeguards--By Making Them Simpler -Meenakshi Kapoor

-Article-14.com In 2018, India diluted environmental safeguards when it ‘standardised’ or made simpler permissions for industry by expert panels. Now, as the government pushes the use of dirtier domestic coal by power plants, further dilution is underway, increasing health risks and imperilling the environment New Delhi: Standardised conditions will be “monitorable”. They will bring “uniformity”. They will help in “expediting the process of environmental clearance without compromising environmental norms”. These are claims the ministry of environment, forests and climate change (MoEFCC) has been making since 2018, when it “standardised” or made simpler environmental clearance conditions for industrial and infrastructure sectors. However, except for speeding environmental clearance, none of these claims hold true, an Article 14 analysis of the standardised conditions granted to coal and thermal projects has revealed.     The “standardisation” exercise is replacing clearly stated safeguards with loose and ambiguous conditions, documentation is replacing action, and monitoring of key environmental impacts is no longer a part of environmental permissions. Most industrial, extractive and infrastructure projects require an environmental clearance before beginning operations. Under the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Notification 2006, a sector-specific expert appraisal panel at the Centre or a generic state-level panel evaluates environmental and social impacts of a proposed project. Based on its evaluation, proposals are recommended or rejected. If recommended, the panel suggests safeguards in the form of environmental conditions to mitigate impacts.
