Executive summary
Current state
Meghalaya State Pollution Control Board has mandated new environmental clearance requirements for mineral borrowing effective March 2025, creating an immediate compliance gap for contractors on the World Bank-funded RBB road project who must secure clearances or face project stoppage and funding suspension.
Market catalyst
Contractors need NOCs from traditional institutions but lack cultural navigation skills and community trust. Traditional institutions have authority but no standardized process for infrastructure project NOCs. The gap is between corporate procurement requirements and tribal governance structures.
