Borewell Meter Stopped Transmitting: Does It Put Your Groundwater Permission at Risk?
Quick answer: Yes, it can. Your groundwater NOC requires a digital water flow meter with telemetry on every borewell, and the CGWA guidelines of 24 September 2020 list a penalty of Rs 2,00,000 for a meter with telemetry that is not installed or is faulty. Most telemetry failures come from the SIM, power, data logger, […]

What Emission Limits Apply to Your Boiler Stack? An Industry-Wise Standards Guide
Quick answer: For most industrial boilers in India, the national limit is for particulate matter (PM): 500 mg/Nm³ below 2 t/h, 150 mg/Nm³ (or 250 for agro fuels) from 2 to under 10 t/h, and 100 mg/Nm³ (or 250 for agro fuels) at 10 t/h and above, corrected to 6% O2 for solid fuel and […]
Which Stack Analysers Are Actually Allowed to Send Data to the Government Server in NCR?
Quick answer: In NCR, only stack analysers certified by CSIR-NPL may send data to the CPCB server. CPCB made this mandatory for all air-polluting industries in NCR on 25 November 2025, when 21 OCEMS models were on the certified list. The list is updated from time to time, so check the exact model against CPCB’s […]
Got a Closure Notice for Missing Online Data? What to Do in the Next 15 Days
Quick answer: If you have received a closure notice for missing OCEMS data, restore live data to the CPCB and SPCB servers first, then document every step.
