A power plant in Haryana has been penalised ₹31.46 crore after its particulate matter emissions were found to be 38.8 times the permissible limit.
A power plant located in Haryana has been fined ₹31.46 crore by environmental regulators after an inspection revealed that its particulate matter (PM) emissions were 38.8 times higher than the legal limit.
The finding was based on data collected from the plant’s monitoring equipment, which showed sustained levels of PM far exceeding the threshold set by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.
The penalty is part of a broader enforcement effort to curb pollution from large industrial units. The plant’s operators have been notified of the violation and are required to implement corrective measures to bring emissions within acceptable limits.
Officials say the fine reflects the seriousness of the breach and serves as a warning to other facilities operating in the state.
