- The centre has revised the Islands Protection Zone (IPZ) rules for the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep.
- Clearance validity under the IPZ notification (2011) is extended to 10 years.
- It is aligning with the Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) Notification 2006.
- The New rules allow the transfer and splitting of clearances among multiple legal entities without needing fresh approvals.
- The Islands Protection Zone classifies the coastal areas into four Island Coastal Regional Zones (ICRZ-I to ICRZ-III plus water areas) based on the very ecological sensitivity, with strict restrictions on industrial development.
