Visakhapatnam: Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board (APPCB) in a bid to encourage green industries has decided to offer incentives to those who contribute significantly to reducing the carbon footprint.

APPCB Chairman P Krishnaiah said here on Tuesday that they are committed to differentiate and incentivize environmentally responsible industries. “APPCB is committed to moving beyond a compliance-only framework toward a performance-driven regulatory model. Industries that achieve GreenCo ratings and demonstrate measurable excellence in energy efficiency, water stewardship, waste reduction, and circular practices will receive recognition-based incentives and regulatory facilitation from the Board.”
