Mumbai air pollution: MPCB asks Hindustan Petroleum, Tata Power to cut down production by 50%
Aegis Logistics at Mahul and Sealord Containers Ltd at Ambapada located in Trombay area of Mumbai. The MPCB also forfeited the bank guarantee of ₹10 lakh of Aegis Logistics and ₹5 lakh of Sealord Containers, it said.
A similar notice was sent to the Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilizers Limited (RCF) in Chembur on Wednesday, in which strict guidelines were issued for it. The board also closed down two ready-mix concrete (RMC) plants in the city, it added.
The action comes in the wake of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's issuance of the standard operating procedures to the companies 10 days ago. The civic body's air pollution mitigation plan stated that the MPCB would monitor emissions from industries such as Bharat Petroleum (BPCL), HPCL, RCF, Tata Power and others in nearby MIDCs daily for one month and take punitive action against those failing to comply.Milestone Alert!
