Any new factory establishment or expansion requires obtaining a No Objection Certificate (NOC) and a Factory License under the Tamil Nadu Factories Act, 1948 to ensure compliance with safety norms and operational regulations.

Once the NOC is obtained, the factory owner must apply for a Factory License under the Tamil Nadu Factories Rules, 1950.
