The consent to establish and consent to operate license validity is determined by the category in which the industry falls. Red and orange category industries consent is granted for two years after which it has to be renewed, but there are some industries like dyeing and chemical industries who have been given consent to establish for only a period of one year.
Consent to operate is usually given for a period ranging from 4 months to 12 months, depending on the type of industry. There are some industries which fall in the red category have been given consent for only three months also, but the usual time of license ranges from 6 to 8 months.

If the project is not completed within the stipulated time period, then the renewal application has to be submitted one month before the consent expires.
Industry wanting to start operation has to apply two months before it starts its operations. The industry is inspected and verified by the District officer to check whether all conditions related to consent to establish have been full filled by the industry. A report is made by the District officer, and after scrutiny, consent to operate is granted. Consent to operate requires renewal after 31st March of each year.
The time limit for processing the application for the red category is 45 days, and a time limit for the orange and green category is 30 days. The red category has to apply for renewal annually, and Orange and Green category has to apply after two years from the issue date.
