Plantation for Government Mandates
Several Indian rules involve tree plantation: environmental clearances often require a green belt around industrial sites, forest diversion is linked to compensatory afforestation, and the Green Credit Programme recognises plantation on degraded land. Grow Billion Trees helps companies and public bodies plan, plant, maintain and document plantation so it meets the requirement it was done for.
Where plantation is required
- Environmental clearances under the EIA Notification, 2006 commonly include green belt development conditions.
- Compensatory afforestation for diverted forest land is funded through the Compensatory Afforestation Fund Act, 2016 (CAMPA) and carried out by state forest departments.
- The Green Credit Programme (2023) recognises tree plantation on degraded land identified by forest departments.
- Urban forest schemes such as Nagar Van Yojana support forests in cities.

Frequently asked questions
What is green belt development?
A plantation zone around an industrial or project site, often required as a condition of environmental clearance. We plan, plant and maintain it, and keep records for compliance reporting.
Can a private company carry out compensatory afforestation?
Compensatory afforestation is carried out by state forest departments using CAMPA funds. We support companies with additional plantation and documentation where needed.
How does the Green Credit Programme work?
It rewards environmental actions such as tree plantation on degraded land identified by forest departments, with green credits issued after evaluation.
Do you work with municipalities and public bodies?
Yes, for urban forests and plantation on public land.
What records do you provide?
Geo-tagged tree records, photo reports and survival reports that can support compliance submissions.
