closed

The project's objective is to support the Government of India's efforts to prevent and alleviate environmental degradation caused by industrial operations and assist in the successful attainment of the proposed short and medium-term targets of its environmental policy. The project is designed to assist in the identification and implementation of a cost effective program for industrial pollution monitoring, control, and abatement within the context of institutional and financial constraints present in India. The project comprises three components: (1) an institutional component designed to strengthen the Central and State Pollution Control Boards in the states of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh; (2) an investment component designed to support efforts by industry to comply with regulations, including the support for the set up of common treatment facilities; and (3) a technical assistance component designed to support the Ministry of Environment and the DFI's to provide specialized technical assistance for the evaluation of environmental problems and the assessment of their solutions.
