💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court has directed the Centre's Environment and Forest Ministry to file its stand on reducing the compliance timeline for thermal power plants to meet emission norms. The court noted that only three out of 11 coal-based plants are compliant, and partial compliance exists in other cases. The Ministry has been asked to respond by April 26, and the Centre by April 23. The court is concerned about repeated extensions of the compliance timelines.
