What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The Centre issued draft notification SO 4106(E), proposing 56,825.7 square kilometres across six states as an Ecologically Sensitive Area (ESA) under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. The draft covers Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu. The proposed ESA status introduces statutory bans on new mining, quarrying, thermal power expansion, red category heavily polluting industries, and commercial construction exceeding 20,000 square metres.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The designation of these areas as ESA introduces significant new regulatory hurdles for industry and development projects in the region. The process is currently under review, with the Centre reportedly considering a replacement due to tenure issues in some states. The status of the proposal remains subject to ongoing debate between conservation goals and development interests.
