The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has published the format for submission of details of confirmed purchase or supply orders for genset or genset engines. This format was published on 4th July, 2023.
It may be recalled that the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEFCC) had issued an Office Memorandum (OM) dated 22nd June, 2023, requesting the manufacturers of genset and genset engines to submit details of orders to the CPCB. The CPCB has now published the format for submission of details of confirmed purchase or supply orders.
