Phase I & Phase II Environmental Due Diligence — for M&A, lender DD, brownfield acquisition, factory transfer, ESG screening — with regulatory, contamination & liability assessment.
Environmental Due Diligence (EDD) is the structured assessment of environmental risks attached to a property, factory, business, or transaction — undertaken before the buyer / lender / investor commits capital. By 2026, EDD is no longer optional in serious Indian deals: every M&A involving a manufacturing target, every brownfield acquisition, every project finance transaction with environmentally regulated assets, and every ESG-screened private-equity investment includes an EDD scope. The cost of skipping EDD is substantial — environmental liabilities (contaminated land, statutory non-compliance, pending pollution-board demands, hazardous-waste mismanagement) routinely surface 1-3 years post-closing, often dwarfing the original transaction value.
The EDD framework follows international protocols — ASTM Phase I (E1527) and Phase II (E1903) standards adapted to Indian regulatory context — combined with India-specific scrutiny: Water Act 1974, Air Act 1981, EP Act 1986, EIA Notification 2006, Hazardous Waste Rules 2016 (amended 2022), E-Waste Rules 2022, Plastic Waste Rules 2016/2022, Battery Waste Rules 2022, CGWA NOC, CRZ, Forest Conservation Act 1980, and the relevant State Pollution Control Board records.
We deliver Phase I and Phase II EDD across India — for M&A buy-side and sell-side, lender DD, ESG screening, brownfield site acquisition, factory transfer, and pre-IPO environmental disclosure.
Specific indemnities for identified environmental liabilities. Escrow / holdback for known contamination. Conditions precedent for compliance restoration (e.g., pending CFE / CFO renewal, hazardous waste authorisation renewal). Specific representations and warranties on environmental matters. Insurance product (Environmental Impairment Liability) where heavy contamination potential. Walk-away if liability uncapped. We translate EDD findings into actual deal-document protections.
ASTM E1527 / E1903 protocols adapted to Indian regulatory context; full investigation when Phase I findings warrant it.
