NOC stands for No Objection Certificate, and under the purview of the Central Ground Water Authority (CGWA), it relates to permissions required for groundwater extraction and management in India. Here’s a comprehensive overview of the NOC under the Central Ground Water Board (CGWB):

Central Ground Water Authority (CGWA):

The CGWA is responsible for regulating and managing groundwater resources in India. It operates under the Ministry of Jal Shakti (formerly the Ministry of Water Resources) and oversees permissions related to groundwater extraction and management through the issuance of No Objection Certificates (NOCs).

The Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) plays a crucial role in managing and regulating groundwater resources across India. As the NOC (No Objection Certificate) issuing authority, CGWB ensures sustainable groundwater utilization.

The NOC from CGWB is mandatory for all groundwater extraction activities, whether for industrial, agricultural or domestic purposes. This helps CGWB monitor groundwater levels, quality and usage patterns to maintain the delicate balance of this precious natural resource.

If you’re planning any project that requires groundwater, be sure to obtain the necessary NOC from CGWB. Their expert team will guide you through the application process and help you comply with the groundwater regulations in your area.

Together, we can protect India’s groundwater for generations to come. Reach out to CGWB to learn more about the NOC requirements in your region.

In addition to the CGWA, each state has its own State Ground Water Board or Authority responsible for implementing groundwater management policies at the state level. They may have additional regulations or requirements for groundwater extraction and NOC issuance specific to their respective states.

Obtaining an NOC from the Central Ground Water Authority is crucial for industries and projects requiring groundwater extraction in notified and overexploited areas in India. It ensures sustainable use of groundwater resources while adhering to environmental and regulatory standards set by the CGWA. For specific guidelines and application procedures, applicants should refer to the official CGWA website or contact their local CGWA office for detailed information and assistance.
