Factory Licence in Odisha
Odisha is one of India’s
fastest-growing industrial states with major sectors like steel, aluminium,
power, mining, petrochemicals, IT, and food processing. To set up or operate a
manufacturing unit, obtaining a Factory Licence is mandatory. This ensures
compliance with safety, health, welfare, and environmental standards.
My Online Vakeel provides expert legal and compliance services across Odisha (Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Rourkela, Sambalpur, Berhampur, Angul, Talcher, Paradip, etc.). We offer complete end-to-end support for Factory Plan Approval, Registration, Renewal, and Amendments.
What is a Factory Licence?
A Factory Licence is an official certificate issued by the Chief Inspector of Factories, Odisha, under the Factories Act, 1948. It authorizes the occupier to operate the factory after verification of building safety, machinery installation, hazardous processes, 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 Odisha Factories Rules. Applications are processed online through the Odisha Single Window Clearance System (OSWCS) and the Labour & ESI Department portal. Odisha has significantly improved its Ease of Doing Business ranking through digital reforms.
