Uttarakhand Pollution Control Board

What Uttarakhand Pollution Control Board does

Uttarakhand Pollution Control Board (UKPCB) is a statutory regulatory authority constituted under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act 1974 and the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act 1981, operating under India's Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. Its mandate is to prevent and control water and air pollution across the state of Uttarakhand, regulate hazardous waste, e-waste, biomedical waste, battery waste, and plastic waste, and enforce the Environment (Protection) Act 1986. The board issues Consent to Establish (CTE) and Consent to Operate (CTO) certifications that any industrial unit discharging effluents or emissions must obtain before beginning or continuing operations, and it retains statutory powers to refuse consent or direct closure of non-compliant facilities. UKPCB reports to the Central Pollution Control Board on policy and standards matters.

UKPCB's primary digital product is the Online Consent Management & Monitoring System (OCMMS), a web portal built and hosted by the National Informatics Center (NIC). The portal handles industry registration, CTE/CTO application submission, consent fee calculation based on capital-investment tiers, status tracking, and a public dashboard of granted, pending, and refused applications. Industries are directed to register through the Uttarakhand Single Window Clearance System, and producers/importers are linked into CPCB's national Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) portals for plastic, e-waste, and batteries. A toll-free OCMMS Help Desk (1800-270-1213) operates daily from 06:00 to 22:00. There is no public API, no AI/ML component, and no separate commercial product line — the digital stack is a single rule-based compliance portal.

UKPCB's revenue model is administrative consent fees charged to industrial applicants, calculated as unit pricing on a pay-as-you-go basis and tiered by capital investment in lakhs. There is no published fee schedule, no aggregated revenue disclosure, and no subscription or commercial offering. Its customer base is the horizontal universe of industrial establishments, hazardous-waste handlers, and EPR producers operating in Uttarakhand. The head office is located at Gaura Devi Bhawan, 46 B IT Park Sahastradhara, Dehradun.

Core offering

The Uttarakhand Pollution Control Board is a statutory regulatory authority that issues and enforces environmental consents to industrial establishments in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. Industries must obtain Consent to Establish (CTE) before setting up operations and Consent to Operate (CTO) before commencing production, applied for through the OCMMS online portal. The board also administers registrations and authorizations for hazardous waste, e-waste, biomedical waste, battery waste and plastic waste management under the relevant Indian environmental protection acts.

Product overview

Uttarakhand Pollution Control Board operates a single primary web-based system: the Online Consent Management & Monitoring System (OCMMS). This portal serves as the digital interface for industries to register, submit consent applications (CTE/CTO), check application status, and communicate with the board. The system is complemented by downloadable SOPs and forms for hazardous waste, e-waste, biomedical waste, batteries, and other regulated categories. There are no separate commercial products, modules, or SaaS offerings — the board's digital presence is limited to this regulatory compliance portal.
