Abstract: 
The environmental impact assessment identifies the best combination of economic, environmental and social benefits of a proposed activity or project, and predicts the potential impact on the environment. The Indian chemical and other industries manufacture a wide variety of products using more advanced manufacturing processes. A majority of industries contribute to environmental pollution. However, it neglects the role of EIA during and after production, both pre-operational and post-operationally. As a result of rapid industrialization, several environmental issues have been posed. Commissioning of chemical plants to be more reliable, cost-efficient, safe, and environmentally sustainable if they manage environmental risks effectively. Throughout this research, the environmental measures of industrial projects in the surrounding areas are discussed. In terms of environmental impact, there are several aspects such as ecosystem impact, natural resource impact, and public impact. Quantitative and qualitative approaches are employed in this research, which means that an assessment of the environment impact assessment in the surrounding areas of the industrial sites and an explanation of its importance, as well as the Standard EIA procedures in India are provided.
