The Delhi Pollution Control Committee is abbreviated as DPCC. It is a self-governing body established by the Delhi government in 1991 under the supervision of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). Many of the CPCB's rules and roles have been authorised.
The DPCC effectively issues a licence known as a DPCC License, which is a no objection certificate that guarantees that the proposed/existing business enterprise will not affect the environment or community. A provision has been made that the entrepreneur must first obtain the "NOC" from the board before changing or improving the manufacturing process or establishing industries.
