Comprehensive CGWA Services We Provide in Maharashtra
Full-scope engineering and digital compliance designed for the newly implemented Bhu-Neer framework.
1. Fresh CGWA NOC
We manage your entire groundwater abstraction application from end to end on the newly implemented Bhu-Neer Portal. From preparing core hydrogeological assessments to technical layouts, we guarantee smooth single-submission approvals.
2. CGWA Renewal
A CGWA NOC is not permanent. Legally, renewals must pass through the Bhu-Neer system. We handle migration of legacy NOCAP system parameters over to the PAN-based Bhu-Neer profile seamlessly.
3. Self-Inspection
Manual logbooks are fully outdated. Regulated users must perform periodic digital self-inspections, proving operational tamper-proof digital flow meters with telemetry and water quality validation from NABL labs.
4. CGWA Services
A validated Rainwater Harvesting (RWH) scheme and recharge design layout is mandatory. We engineer state-approved RWH blueprints optimized for Maharashtra’s specific hard-rock basalt layers.
Who Needs a CGWA NOC in Maharashtra?
According to the 2024 National Compilation on Dynamic Ground Water Resources of India, water tables across Maharashtra face severe stress. Out of 359 talukas assessed:
*Infrastructure projects, industries, or mining units drawing groundwater across Pune, Nagpur, Mumbai Suburban, or critical belts must possess a validated NOC if extraction crosses exemption metrics.
Targeted Commercial Industries Requiring NOC
Packaged Water Plants
Evaluated under maximum regulatory dynamic calculations.
Hotels & Resorts
Hospitality structures utilizing proprietary borewells.
Malls & Commercial Plazas
High footfall corporate towers with high daily KLD usage.
Hospitals & Medical Hubs
Critical backup extraction infrastructure verification.
Exemption Framework Rule
MSMEs and low-capacity units may qualify for statutory exemptions. However, registering on the Bhu-Neer platform and obtaining a formal Exemption Certificate online remains legally mandatory.

How to Get a CGWA NOC: Step-by-Step
The legacy NOCAP platform is completely retired. All applications must strictly move through the updated regulatory sequence:
Bhu-Neer Registration
Create your centralized account using a verified corporate PAN, Email, and Mobile Number to generate a unique Single ID dashboard.
Data Migration
If handling a legacy property, transfer your older parameters systematically from NOCAP to Bhu-Neer without losing historical approvals.
Import Data from NOCAP PortalExemption Check
Check if your corporate MSME category qualifies for a statutory waiver—though exemption certificates are still processed completely online.
Apply for Exemption / View GuidelinesHydrogeological Mapping
Prepare comprehensive hydrogeological dynamic mapping, design recharge layout sheets, and construct water balance equations.
Steps to ApplyFee & Tariff Settlement
Pay application processing fees and dynamic volumetric extraction tariffs calculated for the 2025–2026 fiscal cycle.
Telemetry & Verification
Install smart digital flow meters featuring continuous live telemetry feedback options directly back to the central authorities.
Setup Telemetry SystemSpecial Hazard Alert: Saline Ground Water Zones
Specific agricultural and industrial belts across Maharashtra (e.g. Akola, Sangli) show high salinity profiles. Extracting from these parameters is bound to unique specialized guidelines. Always ensure expert custom planning before digging borewells.

Hefty Fines & Penalties for Non-Compliance
Operating industrial, commercial, or infrastructural borewells without a validated Bhu-Neer NOC is a legal offense. Under the strict guidelines of the Environment Protection Act (EPA):
Borewell Sealing
Physical sealing of extraction parameters by regional law authorities.
Power Disconnection
Disconnection of operational lines and utility services.
Compounding Fines
Daily environmental compensation charges added indefinitely until certified.
