What We Do

Mining operations are among the most heavily regulated activities from an environmental perspective. Every mine requires Environment Clearance (EC) and, where forest land is involved, Forest Clearance (FC) under the Forest Conservation Act. We manage the entire clearance process — from EIA preparation coordination through public hearing management to final clearance and ongoing compliance monitoring.
