SC upholds 2024 NGT direction to Ministry of Environment
The Supreme Court has upheld the 2024 order of the National Green Tribunal (NGT), directing Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) to ensure that all building and construction projects falling wholly or partly within 5 km of concerned categories shall be treated as ‘Category A’ projects. CREDAI, Godrej Properties Ltd, and Sai Sahara Developers had preferred appeals.
