GPCB Simplifies Closure Order Revocation Process Through XGN 2.0 Portal
The Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) has introduced a major improvement in the Closure Order Revocation Process by simplifying the online application procedure through the XGN 2.0 Portal. Previously, industries had to follow the documentation requirements prescribed under Form D7. However, GPCB has now withdrawn the earlier circulars and introduced a revised list of mandatory documents for all future revocation applications. Therefore, industries should carefully review the updated process to avoid delays and ensure faster compliance. Moreover, this initiative strengthens transparency while reducing procedural complexity for applicants.
Key Changes in the Revocation Procedure
Firstly, applicants must submit a detailed compliance report explaining how each closure direction has been addressed, along with supporting evidence on the company’s letterhead. Additionally, where applicable, industries must upload electricity disconnection proof, a valid bank guarantee as per the prevailing GPCB policy, and Consent to Establish (CTE) and Consolidated Consent and Authorization (CCA) applications through the XGN 2.0 Portal. Furthermore, industries intending to discontinue operations must provide dismantling photographs or a time-bound dismantling plan. Consequently, the revised procedure creates greater clarity for both industries and regulatory authorities.
Additional Requirements for Accident-Related Cases
Moreover, if a closure order arises due to an industrial accident, applicants must also upload compliance with DISH directions, details regarding environmentally safe disposal of damaged materials or waste, and a valid Public Liability Insurance (PLI) Policy wherever applicable. As a result, GPCB can evaluate applications more efficiently while ensuring environmental and public safety. Therefore, industries should prepare these documents before submitting their revocation request.
Conclusion
The revised Closure Order Revocation Process marks another important step in GPCB’s digital governance initiative. Finally, industries should familiarize themselves with the new documentation requirements, submit complete applications through the XGN 2.0 Portal, and maintain full compliance with environmental regulations. Ultimately, timely preparation and accurate documentation will help organizations obtain faster revocation decisions while strengthening regulatory compliance.
