Wildlife Clearance in Powai, Mumbai.

Sanjay Gandhi National Park is ringed by a notified ESZ, and plots on Powai's park side can sit close to it or inside it. A project there may then need NBWL's Standing Committee to clear it, in addition to its EC. The first step is plain measurement: how far the plot lies from the park and from the zone line. We take that from the notified maps, and where the ESZ applies, put together the wildlife file with the safeguards the board usually looks for.
Powai grew around its lake, created in the late nineteenth century by damming a stream for the city's water, though it was later dropped from the drinking supply. IIT Bombay occupies a large campus on its shore, and from the late 1980s the planned township of Hiranandani Gardens rose beside it, with towers, offices, schools and hospitals. The forested hills of the national park rise to the north, with Vihar Lake beyond. Mugger crocodiles still live in Powai Lake. Newer towers keep filling the gaps between the township and the hutments climbing the slopes.

Wildlife Clearance in Powai: common questions.
01How can we tell whether our Powai plot falls in the park's ESZ?
By checking the plot's coordinates against the notified boundary. The notification and its map set the extent, which varies around the park. A plot close to the line needs careful measurement. We plot the coordinates on the notified map, report the result, and tell you whether a wildlife clearance is required.
02How long does wildlife clearance take in Powai?
On timing: months, board-agenda dependent. A realistic Powai schedule is set once the site and the scope have been read, and the work is carried through to the outcome by the same named people.
