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.
Factory License keeps your industrial setup approval-ready. Layout planning, worker safety, machinery guarding, inspection preparation, documentation, and renewals must be aligned before operations begin.
When is a Factory License Required?
A Factory License is required when manufacturing or industrial processes are carried out with workers, power, machinery, and operational infrastructure.
⚡
10 or more workers are employed with power
Units using power and employing 10 or more workers generally require Factory License approval.
20 or more workers are employed without power
Units operating without power may still require licensing when worker count reaches the required threshold.

Industrial, production, processing, assembling, and manufacturing activities may trigger factory registration requirements.
Even smaller units may require registration depending on state rules.
