Which category of projects does not require Environmental Impact Assessment in accordance with Indian EIA notification 2006 ?
Answer: A
Under the EIA Notification 2006, Category B2 projects do not require an EIA.
The notification puts projects in Category A, appraised at the central level by the Ministry, or Category B, appraised by the State Environment Impact Assessment Authority. Category B is screened into B1 and B2. B1 projects need an EIA report and, in most cases, a public consultation, like Category A projects. B2 projects need neither an EIA report nor a public hearing, and are appraised on the application documents alone.
Category A and B1 therefore require an EIA, and the notification has no Category C, so B2 is the only correct choice.
