THE CPCB REPORT REVEALED THAT DELHI COLLECTED ₹112.08 CRORE IN EC IN THE GIVEN TIME PERIOD, BUT HAD UTILISED ONLY ₹36.06 CRORE OR 32% OF THE FUNDS

NEW DELHI: The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has questioned the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) over its utilisation of environmental compensation (EC) it has received in lieu of projects across the country—especially those in Delhi—and has sought a detailed audit of the usage of funds within eight weeks, listing the matter for further hearing on May 2.

The green court's order, dated January 21, came in response to a January 20 report filed by CPCB which stated that of the ₹255.01 crore in EC collected up till September 2024, only ₹223.44 crore was sanctioned across 67 projects.
