What applies in Karnataka
Karnataka has issued a mandate covering DG sets in the 61 to 800 kW range, requiring approved emission control. The Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) enforces it.
What inspectors usually ask for
- Proof that the RECD comes from a CPCB-listed vendor, with the ARAI or ICAT certificate for your capacity.
- Installation and commissioning records.
- Emission test results after installation.
- Maintenance or AMC records.

Frequently asked questions
Do all DG sets in Karnataka need an RECD?
Not all. It depends on capacity, engine norm and the current KSPCB circular. Generators that already meet CPCB IV+ norms are generally treated differently from older sets.
Is Novorbis on the CPCB vendor list?
Yes. Novorbis Itus appears on the CPCB RECD vendor list (as of 30-06-2026).
