Setting Up a Manufacturing Unit in India: A Foreign Investor's Guide
S
Statura Team
India's scale, incentives, and "Make in India" push make it an attractive manufacturing base. Setting up a plant involves more steps than a trading business — here is the roadmap.
Step 1: Entity & Land
Establish an Indian company (usually a wholly owned subsidiary), then secure land — often within an industrial park or SEZ for faster approvals and infrastructure.
Step 2: Approvals & Licences
- Factory licence under the Factories Act.
- Pollution control consents (CTE/CTO).
- Fire safety and building approvals.
- Product-specific licences (BIS, FSSAI, CDSCO) as applicable.
Step 3: Incentives
Explore PLI (Production Linked Incentive) schemes, state subsidies, and export incentives that can materially improve project economics.
Statura handles entity setup, approvals, and incentive applications for foreign manufacturers entering India.
