IIIT Nagpur Hostel Tender Faces Objection Over EC, OC Compliance Issues
Nagpur, 12 July 2026 :
A home buyer and class-action complainant, Avinash Chaurasia, has raised objections to IIIT Nagpur’s proposed tender for a commercial hostel facility at HooLiv Resident in Empyrean Township. The arrangement, slated to begin around 1st August 2026, reportedly involves using a building sanctioned as Studio Apartments and the community-owned Club House as a hostel mess for nearly 400 students.
According to the complainant, the primary concerns relate to regulatory compliance:
Key Allegations Made by Complainant
- Occupancy & Environmental Clearance: It is alleged that the Studio Apartment building and the Club House do not have a valid Occupancy Certificate. The Environment Clearance dated 12-07-2010, last revalidated on 19-12-2018, is stated to have expired on 10-07-2024. The complainant has further alleged that the original clearance is void ab initio due to foundational irregularities.
- Consent to Establish: The Consent to Establish dated 06-11-2008 is alleged to have been obtained on the basis of incorrect information. It is claimed that despite an Enquiry Committee report recommending action, consents continue to be renewed.
- Sewage Treatment Capacity: Serious deficiencies have been alleged in the Sewage Treatment Plant. As per the complaint, the installed capacity is approximately 90 KLD or less, while the EC mandates 500 KLD for Phase-1 and 750 KLD for Phase-2, and that this may be inadequate for additional hostel and commercial kitchen load.
- Use of Community Assets: Objection has been raised to the commercial use of the community-owned Club House and swimming pool, which the complainant states are located in the designated 10% playground area and have been subject to ownership disputes since October 2017. Notices regarding encroachment have also been cited.
- Alternative Proposal: The complainant has stated that 700–800 home owners in the township are willing to provide direct rental/PG accommodation as a legal alternative, which would avoid use of disputed community facilities.
Appeals to Authorities
The complainant has made written appeals to:
- Director VNIT & Additional Charge, IIIT Nagpur – to cancel the tender and ensure due diligence on EC and OC documents.
- Commissioner, NMRDA – to not grant any Occupancy Certificate without verification and to consider provisions of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986.
- Member Secretary, MPCB – to review the validity of CTE dated 06-11-2008 and pause further Consent to Operate renewals pending inquiry.
- Additional Commissioner & AE (West), local civic body – to verify all documents before issuing any occupancy permissions.
The complainant has stated that all documentary evidence, including a 991-page Environment Department file, has been offered for review and has requested a joint hearing before MPCB within 7 days. He has also written to the National Green Tribunal requesting suo motu cognizance, citing the Supreme Court judgment in MCGM vs Ankita Sinha. He has described his action as being in the interest of student safety and rule of law under Article 51A of the Constitution.
Status
No official response has been received from IIIT Nagpur, NMRDA, or MPCB at the time of filing this report. Media has been urged to seek comments from the concerned officials.
_Disclaimer: The above points are allegations made by the complainant. These have not been independently verified. No authority has made a final determination on the matter.
