## Solutions — by problem

- [GPCB compliance software](https://www.environdesk.com/solutions/gpcb-compliance-software): GPCB compliance software tracks the environmental approvals a Gujarat factory must hold under the Gujarat Pollution Control Board — Consent to Establish, Consent to Operate, hazardous waste authorisation and the Form-V annual return. It stores consent conditions, monitors expiry dates, pre-fills XGN portal applications from a factory profile, and alerts owners before a consent lapses.
- [Environmental audit software](https://www.environdesk.com/solutions/environmental-audit-software): Environmental audit software digitises the environmental audit cycle: planning site visits, running inspection checklists on a mobile device, capturing photographic evidence, recording lab and monitoring results, comparing findings against regulatory limits, and producing a report with a traceable evidence trail for each finding.
- [Consent management](https://www.environdesk.com/solutions/consent-management-software): Consent management software tracks the environmental consents a facility holds — Consent to Establish, Consent to Operate and Environmental Clearance — including their validity periods, numbered conditions and numeric limits. It alerts responsible owners before expiry, holds the renewal documentation, and records compliance against each condition.
- [EHS software for India](https://www.environdesk.com/solutions/ehs-software-india): EHS software built for India models the obligations created by Indian law rather than adapting a foreign framework: Consent to Establish and Consent to Operate under the Water Act 1974 and Air Act 1981, CPCB red/orange/green/white categorisation, Form-V annual environmental statements, hazardous waste authorisation and returns, and state pollution control board portals such as XGN and OCMMS.
- [SPCB & CPCB compliance](https://www.environdesk.com/solutions/pollution-control-board-compliance-software): Pollution control board compliance software manages the approvals and returns an industrial facility owes its State Pollution Control Board and the Central Pollution Control Board — consents to establish and operate, hazardous waste authorisation, annual environmental statements and monitoring reports — tracking validity, conditions and submission deadlines in one place across states.
- [Moving off spreadsheets](https://www.environdesk.com/solutions/excel-alternative-for-compliance-tracking): A spreadsheet is passive: it stores dates but never acts on them, so a deadline is only caught if somebody opens the file and reads the right row. It also has no permissions, no audit trail, no version history and no link between a deadline and the documents that satisfy it — which is why compliance tracking in Excel fails silently rather than visibly.

## Free tools

- [CTO expiry & renewal date calculator](https://www.environdesk.com/tools/cto-expiry-calculator): Calculates when a Consent to Operate expires and when to start renewal, including the NABL lab sampling window. Free, no signup, runs entirely in the browser.

## Gujarat coverage

- [Gujarat overview](https://www.environdesk.com/gujarat): How compliance differs across Gujarat's industrial belts.
- [Ahmedabad](https://www.environdesk.com/gujarat/ahmedabad): An Ahmedabad factory typically needs Consent to Establish before construction, Consent to Operate before production, hazardous waste authorisation if it generates listed waste, and an annual Form-V environmental statement by 30 September. Dye and chemical units in Vatva, Naroda and Odhav additionally carry CETP membership obligations and intensive effluent monitoring against consent limits.
- [Vadodara](https://www.environdesk.com/gujarat/vadodara): Vadodara's industrial base is weighted toward petrochemicals and heavy chemicals, so facilities are typically larger and more likely to require Environmental Clearance from MoEFCC in addition to GPCB consents. That adds six-monthly EC compliance reporting and a longer list of numbered conditions to track per site, on top of CTO, CTE and hazardous waste authorisation.
- [Surat](https://www.environdesk.com/gujarat/surat): A Surat dyeing or process house needs a valid Consent to Operate with effluent parameters it can actually meet, CETP membership with inlet conditions on top, hazardous waste authorisation where applicable, and an annual Form-V return. Because textile processing generates high effluent volumes with heavy colour and TDS loads, monitoring frequency and effluent scrutiny are typically the binding constraints.
- [Ankleshwar](https://www.environdesk.com/gujarat/ankleshwar): The Ankleshwar and Panoli belt is dominated by red-category chemical and pharmaceutical intermediate manufacturing. That combination attracts shorter consent validity, higher monitoring frequency, substantial listed hazardous waste generation with its own authorisation and returns, and sustained regulatory attention — so a single factory can carry more live obligations than an entire small estate elsewhere.
- [Vapi](https://www.environdesk.com/gujarat/vapi): A Vapi unit typically holds a Consent to Operate with effluent and emission conditions, CETP membership with its own inlet standards, hazardous waste authorisation with quantity caps, and files an annual Form-V by 30 September. Chemical, pharmaceutical and plastics units in the estate are commonly red or orange category, which sets a shorter consent validity and a higher monitoring frequency.
