OVERVIEW · 01
Mandatory Approval for Industrial Operations
A Factory License is a mandatory approval required for businesses involved in manufacturing or industrial processes using power, machinery, and labor.
It is governed under the Factories Act, 1948 and administered by the respective State Labour Department / Factory Inspectorate.
The license ensures compliance with regulations related to worker safety and health, factory infrastructure and layout, machinery safety, and working conditions.
Greenshield Enviro provides end-to-end support for Factory License approvals, including documentation, layout planning, and compliance readiness.
