Factory Licence in Meghalaya
Meghalaya is known for its rich natural resources, scenic
beauty, and emerging industries such as cement, limestone, coal, food
processing, handloom, and bamboo-based units. Setting up a manufacturing
facility in the state requires a valid Factory Licence to ensure compliance
with safety, health, and environmental standards.

We offer complete end-to-end support for Factory Plan Approval, Registration, Renewal, and Amendments, with special attention to the unique geographical and regulatory environment of the state.
What is a Factory Licence?
A Factory Licence is an official certificate issued by the Chief Inspector of Factories, Meghalaya, under the Factories Act, 1948. It authorizes the occupier to operate the manufacturing unit after verification of building safety, machinery installation, and worker welfare measures. The licence must be displayed prominently at the factory premises.
Legal Framework Governing Factory Licence
The process is governed by the Factories Act, 1948 and the Meghalaya Factories Rules. Applications are processed through the Meghalaya Single Window Clearance System or the Labour Department portal. The state government promotes industrial growth through various incentives, especially in Special Economic Zones and industrial estates.

qualifies as a “factory”:
·
10 or more workers employed with the aid of
power, or

This applies to manufacturing, processing, repairing, or any industrial activity.
