EC category
An EC category is an environmental clearance class drawn from India's EIA Notification 2006. On an industrial plot it limits which industries may be allotted that plot, so a plot can be affordable, well located and still useless for a particular business. RIICO publishes an EC category against every industrial plot; PropIQ carries it as a filter for that reason.
Worth knowing
- Check the EC category before bidding, not after — it cannot be changed by the allottee.
- A plot marked 'All Category' carries no such restriction.
