KEY PROVISIONS OF THE 2020 DRAFT
EXEMPTION OF PROJECTS:
Projects classified into A, B1 and B2 and a number
of projects are exempted from public scrutiny.
POST-FACTO CLEARANCE:
Another major proposal in the draft 2020 is granting
‘post-facto clearance’ where a project that has been
operating without environmental clearance, can be
regularised or allowed to apply for clearance.
