It specifies categories of activities that must undergo EIA, including large-scale energy production, mining, oil and gas operations, industrial manufacturing, infrastructure development, and agricultural expansion.
It also outlines thresholds for project size or capacity that trigger EIA obligations, such as hydropower plants above 5 MW, major mining operations, large factories, and urban development projects. The Decision reinforces compliance with national environmental laws and requires project developers to prepare mitigation and monitoring plans.
