Factory Plan Approval

Approval of factory building plans before construction or modification.

How Viha Enterprises Can Help

Preparation and submission of plan approval documents with the factories department and follow-up on observations.

Responsible authority / service scope

Maharashtra Directorate of Industrial Safety and Health (DISH), subject to current jurisdiction and notified requirements.

Eligibility & Applicability

  • Proposed manufacturing premises, extensions, machinery-layout changes or conversion to factory use where plan approval is required.
  • Coverage depends on manufacturing activity, power use, workforce, hazards and applicable notifications; assess the particular establishment before filing.

Application / Transaction Process

  1. 1Identify the applicable legal regime, jurisdiction and live DISH / MAITRI service.
  2. 2Prepare site, building and machinery drawings with manufacturing and safety particulars.
  3. 3Submit the signed application, technical plans and conditional supporting records; pay assessed charges through the prescribed route.
  4. 4Respond to technical observations, revise plans where required and retain the approved drawings and order.

Documents & Information to Prepare

Indicative checklist; include conditional items only where applicable. The authority or transaction adviser confirms the final requirements.

  • Site plan, building plans with sections/elevations and machinery layout.
  • Lighting, ventilation, access, exits and escape arrangements.
  • Manufacturing flow chart, raw materials, products and waste-disposal details.
  • Premises ownership/lease/MIDC allotment evidence and entity/occupier authorisation.
  • Hazardous process, storage and emergency-planning material where applicable.

Important Conditions

  • The OSH Code commenced on 21 November 2025. Maharashtra departmental pages still contain legacy forms and draft-rule material; confirm the currently notified state requirements and live filing route. Do not apply old worker thresholds or draft rules as settled law.
  • Plan approval is not an operating licence and does not replace building, fire or environmental permissions.

Practical guidance, not an approval or eligibility determination. Requirements vary by activity, location, applicant role and current rules. Confirm the live authority checklist before filing; fees, timelines and incentives are not guaranteed.
