The government has delegated powers to local bodies to ensure compliance of environmental conditions for buildings, construction and area development projects between 20,000 and 50,000 square metres (sqmt).
According to a notification of the Union Environment Ministry, local bodies have also been given the powers to ensure environmental conditions are followed at industrial sheds, educational institutions, hospitals and hostels for educational institutions from 20,000 sqmt to 1,50,000 sqmt.
CREDAI, apex body of Private Real Estate Developers Associations, welcomed the decision, saying, "The move will expedite the implementation of Housing for All by 2022."
