End to end support for setting up your own manufacturing facility in India, from site selection to first-year commissioning.
India's manufacturing sector is going through its biggest policy push since liberalisation. The government's Production Linked Incentive schemes now span 14 strategic sectors with a combined outlay approaching USD 26 billion, and companies are relocating production capacity out of China faster than at any point in the last decade.
But greenfield or brownfield, a manufacturing plant in India means land acquisition, state level incentive negotiation, environmental clearances, factory licensing, and a construction and commissioning timeline that can run twelve to twenty four months if nobody is actively managing it end to end.
We do not hand you a feasibility report and disappear. We stay through commissioning.
Six structured deliverables covering every dimension of setting up a manufacturing plant in India, from site selection to operational handover.
Comparing land cost, power reliability, labour availability, and logistics access across candidate states, matched against each state's specific capital subsidy and incentive package for your sector.
Coordination with state industrial development corporations, environmental impact assessments, and consent to establish and consent to operate approvals from the State Pollution Control Board.
Factory licence, fire NOC, labour law registrations, and the full set of central and state approvals required before a single machine can be commissioned.
Due diligence and shortlisting of civil contractors, EPC partners, and equipment vendors, with commercial negotiation support so construction does not become the project's biggest risk.
Structuring your application for the relevant Production Linked Incentive scheme or state capital subsidy, and managing the compliance reporting required to keep the incentive active.
On-ground representation through equipment installation, trial production, and the first year of operation, so issues on the factory floor are resolved in person, not over email.
We work with manufacturers, industrial groups, and PLI applicants who are serious about producing in India, not just exploring the idea.
A greenfield plant typically takes twelve to twenty four months from land allocation to commissioning, depending on the sector, state, and scale of environmental clearance required. Brownfield acquisitions of an existing facility can be operational in four to six months.
It depends on the sector. States such as Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Uttar Pradesh each run their own capital subsidy and land incentive schemes on top of the central government's PLI programme, and the best fit is rarely the same for two companies in different industries.
Not legally. A wholly owned subsidiary can hold and operate a factory directly. In practice, a local partner or on-ground team materially reduces delays in land registration, utility connections, and inspections.
The consent to establish is granted by the State Pollution Control Board before construction begins. The consent to operate is granted after construction, once the facility is inspected and confirmed to meet the conditions set out in the original consent. Both are mandatory for most manufacturing categories.
Yes. Our India Desk is on the ground in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Hyderabad, and we manage contractor coordination, inspections, and reporting so clients typically need to travel only for major milestones.
