Factory permission — which approvals in which order
Setting up a factory needs several permissions in order; the district industry office gives the sequence.
Start here
Start with the district industry office or the state single-window portal to list which permissions your factory needs before construction.
Who is responsible
A factory needs land or shed allotment plus separate consents such as pollution and fire, each decided by a different authority. The district industry office sequences them so you do not apply in the wrong order.
