    under Section 5 of the Environment (Protection) Act 1986.
    "

    MoEFCC notified emissions standards in December 2015 and all coal plants will comply with them by December 2017
    .
    Following consultations with stakeholders, the Central Electricity Authority developed an annual implementation plan
    for the installation of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) in 415 units from 2018 to December 2022.

    The CPCB said those factories that failed to comply with the set emission standards within the stipulated time frame were violated and should be liable for fines
    including closing the plants and imposing environmental compensation.
