Hi-Green Carbon subsidiary Shantol Recycling has finished installing machinery at its new 100 tonne per day facility in Dhar, Madhya Pradesh. The plant is moving into the trial run phase as of May 13, 2026. Full commercial operations depend on receiving the Consent to Operate from the Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board. This expansion represents a step forward in the company's industrial recycling capacity.

Hi-Green Carbon just finished the setup for a 100 TPD recycling plant in Dhar. They are starting trial runs now, but they still need the official green light from the pollution board to actually start commercial work.
Trial runs are one thing, but the gap between installation and the Consent to Operate can be a black hole for timelines. Does anyone know the typical turnaround for the MP Pollution Control Board on these types of facilities?
The regulatory lag is the real bottleneck here. If the permit is delayed, the capital is just sitting idle. It is a classic example of where industrial policy and local implementation don't always align.
100 TPD is a decent start, but I wonder about the feedstock logistics. Getting that volume of waste into the plant consistently is usually where the actual operational struggle happens.
