A Factory License in Gujarat is a mandatory legal requirement for any manufacturing unit, industrial establishment, or factory operating within the state. The license is issued under the Factories Act, 1948, and is overseen by the Directorate of Industrial Safety and Health (DISH), Gujarat. This registration ensures that the factory maintains safety standards, follows labor laws, and provides a secure working environment for employees. Whether you are setting up a small-scale production unit or a large manufacturing plant, obtaining a Factory License is one of the first compliance steps you must complete.

The application process in Gujarat involves multiple stages, including preparation of documents, submission of building plan approvals, obtaining consent under pollution control norms, and furnishing details related to machinery, workers, and production capacity. Applicants must also ensure compliance with safety guidelines such as ventilation, lighting, fire safety, emergency exits, and welfare facilities. Once the documents are verified and the site is inspected, the factory license is issued for the specified period.

Some key documents required include the layout plan, land ownership proof or lease deed, list of machinery, workers’ details, safety measures documentation, and Pollution Control Board NOC. The applicant may also need to provide an approval copy from the local authority or industrial estate.

Proper filing and adherence to the prescribed guidelines make the process smooth and avoid delays. Non-compliance or incorrect documentation may result in rejection or repeated queries from the department.
