Large industrial operations near the refinery belt
Petrochemical and refinery-adjacent operations in Mathura face the most detailed scrutiny under UPGWD’s process given their scale of water use, and the best CGWA consultant in Mathura will typically recommend early engagement for these categories given the depth of study involved. NEER
Agro-processing and food units
Smaller agro-processing and food manufacturing operations across the district also fall under the same basic clearance requirement, though usually with a lighter assessment burden than larger industrial operations.
Hospitality and tourism infrastructure
Given Mathura and Vrindavan’s significant pilgrim and tourist footfall, hotels and hospitality infrastructure with their own water source for guest use often need clearance as well, a category sometimes overlooked because hospitality is not typically thought of as an industrial water user.

Institutions and educational campuses
Schools, ashrams, and training institutions in the district with their own borewell connections fall under the same general applicability, particularly where the resident or day population is significant enough to represent meaningful water demand. NEER
Projects that assume proximity to the river change the rule.
Being near a river does not exempt a project from groundwater clearance requirements, since surface water and groundwater are regulated separately, and this misconception has led some applicants to skip the process entirely until an inspection corrected the assumption. Follow us NEER
