Pre-Approval Preparation
Before applying for permits, buyers must gather all required documents including title deeds, land use certificates, site plans, and utility details. This stage generally takes 1 to 2 weeks, depending on document readiness.
- Ownership verification and encumbrance check
- Zoning confirmation or land conversion (if required)
- Site survey and layout planning
Planning and Building Approvals
Once documentation is complete, the developer applies for building plan approval and development permission from the local urban planning authority or industrial development board.
- Timeline: Typically 30 to 60 days
- Includes review of building layout, floor plans, and access roads
- May involve inspections and technical clearance
Utility and Infrastructure Approvals
Separate approvals are needed for utilities such as electricity, water supply, sewage connection, and, if applicable, environmental clearance.
- Electricity and water connection: 15 to 30 days
- Environmental clearance (for pollution-sensitive units): 45 to 90 days
- Factory license or trade license: 15 to 30 days
Total Estimated Timeline
From start to finish, the full permitting process for an industrial site typically ranges from 60 to 120 days, assuming all documents are in order and no special zoning or environmental complexities are involved.
- Fast-track zones or industrial parks may offer approvals in 30 to 45 days
- Larger or specialized projects may extend up to 180 days with all clearances
