Made easier to understand.
Groundwater abstraction for industrial, commercial, infrastructure, mining and certain other projects is regulated in India. Depending on the project, location, abstraction quantity and applicable authority, a valid groundwater NOC may be required before abstraction begins.

Groundwater use comes
with responsibility.
Groundwater abstraction for projects can be regulated by the Central Ground Water Authority or the applicable State Ground Water Authority. Requirements can vary according to the type of project, proposed abstraction, groundwater assessment category and site conditions.
Nitaneer helps project proponents understand the requirement, organise technical information, prepare documentation and coordinate the application process.

Who may need a
Groundwater NOC?
Mining Operations
Open-cast and underground mining projects requiring groundwater dewatering or groundwater for process use.
Infrastructure & Construction
Commercial complexes, hospitals, educational campuses, transport infrastructure, construction projects and other developments requiring groundwater abstraction or dewatering.
Residential & Bulk Water Users
Certain group-housing projects, larger residential developments and private bulk-water or tanker operations may also fall within groundwater regulation.
Applicability depends on the project category, abstraction quantity, groundwater assessment-unit status and the competent groundwater authority.
EXEMPTIONSSome users may
Some users may
be exempt.
Certain activities and users may be exempt under applicable groundwater guidelines, subject to category-specific conditions and limits.
Agricultural activities
Individual domestic consumers
Certain rural drinking-water schemes
Certain low-volume industrial or infrastructure abstractions
Certain residential or group-housing uses
Exemption thresholds and conditions vary by category. Nitaneer can review the project details before determining the appropriate application route.
TECHNICAL COMPLIANCEGetting the NOC is
Getting the NOC is
only part of compliance.
Digital Flow Meters
Groundwater abstraction points may require tamper-resistant flow meters, telemetry and periodic calibration as part of ongoing compliance.
Observation Wells / Piezometers
Certain projects may require dedicated groundwater-monitoring wells, digital water-level recorders and telemetry.
Hydrogeological Assessment
Larger abstraction projects or projects in stressed groundwater areas may require hydrogeological studies, impact assessment and groundwater modelling.
Water Audits
Specified industrial users may be required to undertake periodic water audits and demonstrate improvements in water-use efficiency.
Rainwater Harvesting
Rainwater-harvesting and artificial-recharge measures may form part of the technical and regulatory requirements for a project.
Wellhead Protection
Higher-risk or potentially polluting industries may be subject to additional borewell, casing and aquifer-protection requirements.
ABSTRACTION / RESTORATION CHARGESGroundwater use can
Groundwater use can
carry recurring charges.
Applicable groundwater abstraction or restoration charges can depend on factors such as project category, quantity of groundwater abstracted and classification of the groundwater assessment unit.
NON-COMPLIANCEOperating without valid
Operating without valid
permission can become expensive.
Unauthorised groundwater abstraction or failure to comply with NOC conditions may lead to environmental compensation, penalties, borewell sealing or other enforcement measures by the competent authorities.
The safest approach is to assess the requirement before abstraction begins.How the process works.
Project Review
We begin with the project type, site, proposed groundwater use and current abstraction situation.
Document Checklist
The likely application documents and supporting technical information are identified for the project.
Technical Preparation
Water information, plans, supporting reports and other technical material are organised for the application.
Application Support
Nitaneer assists with preparing the application for the appropriate groundwater authority and digital submission process.
Authority Review
The competent authority reviews eligibility, documentation, technical information and applicable groundwater conditions.
Coordination & Follow-up
We assist with application-related clarifications, additional documentation and coordination where required.
DOCUMENT PREPARATIONDocuments commonly
