Since the Indian economy was liberalized and deregulated in 1991, most firms have been excused from getting an industrial license to begin production in India. Only industries that may have an impact on public health, safety, or national security receive government scrutiny.
Industrial licenses in India are governed by the IDRA, 1951 Act, and are granted on the suggestion of the licensing committee by the Secretarial of Industrial Assistance (SIA).
The Act prohibits a licenced industrial venture from producing a new article unless the license has been renewed or a new license for the new article has been secured.
Manufacturing industries in India that require industrial licensing include:
- Industries subject to compulsory licencing;
- Industrial undertakings subject to geographic limitations. The licensing provision also applies to current industrial unit enlargement.
India’s Industries require Mandatory Licencing
Businesses wanting to develop industries in India to produce any of the following commodities must get a mandatory license:
- Defense aerospace and warships
- Hazardous chemicals

Because of environmental, safety, and strategic concerns, above sectors require mandatory licensing.
