Delhi: MCD removes need for factory licence for firms in industrial area
New Delhi, Jul 29 (PTI) The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has done away with the requirement of a factory licence for setting up manufacturing units in recognised industrial areas. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said the move will bolster the ease of doing business in Delhi. The MCD in a recent order removed the need for a separate factory licence for units operating within industrial areas established by the DSIIDC, a Delhi government agency. The Monday order states that factory units in industrial areas will no longer need to obtain or renew an independent factory licence under sections 416 and 417 of the Delhi Municipal Corporation (DMC) Act, 1957. In its stead, under the new licensing rules, the micro, small and medium enterprises will be issued an 'MSME Udhyam Registration Certificate.' For larger industrial units, the allotment letter or lease deed issued by GNCTD or DSIIDC will serve as the deemed licence, the order said. The factory owners will, however, be required to pay a licence fee equivalent to 5 per cent of the annual property tax at the time of paying the tax, it said. The order also said that this deemed licensing arrangement will be applicable not only in conforming industrial areas but also in unplanned industrial clusters notified by the Delhi government. The order becomes active with immediate effect, Gupta said. PTI SSM VN VN view comments First Published: July 30, 2025, 00:00 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

HP Cabinet gives nod to structural safety audits for buildings
Shimla, Jul 29 (PTI) The Himachal Pradesh Cabinet on Tuesday approved the recommendations of a Cabinet Sub-Committee on Disaster Management and Rehabilitation, including conducting structural safety audits of buildings to assess their disaster resilience and taking retrofitting measures to minimise risks, an official statement said. The sub-committee, headed by Revenue Minister Jagat Singh Negi, was constituted to examine and suggest measures for strengthening the state's disaster preparedness and rehabilitation mechanisms, it said. Besides conducting safety audits of buildings, the panel recommended making earthquake-resistant and hazard-resilient construction mandatory across the state. It also suggested the integration of home guards, civil defence, fire services and State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) with the Himachal Pradesh State Disaster Management Authorities (HPSDMA)'s Disaster Management Cell to ensure a swift coordinated response during emergencies. In a meeting held here under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, the Cabinet also decided to induct 1,386 eligible Jal Rakshaks (water guards), who have completed 12 years or more of service as on December 31, 2024, as pump attendants in the Jal Shakti Vibhag, the statement said. It approved the procurement of apples at Rs 12 per kg under the Market Intervention Scheme (MIS) for 2025. It also decided to procure B and C grade kinnow, malta, and orange at Rs 12 per kg, galgal at Rs 10 per kg and seedling, grafted and kacha achari mango at Rs 12 per kg under the scheme. The Cabinet also approved the translocation of 325 trees under phase-I of the development of the Durgesh-Aranya Zoological Park at Bankhandi in Dehra, Kangra district. The Cabinet gave the nod to the up-gradation and equipping of 18 daycare centres for chemotherapy in district hospitals and select Adarsh Swasthya Sansthans, the statement said. It said this initiative aims to provide accessible follow-up treatment for cancer patients within their districts, reducing the need to travel to medical colleges or out of the state, thereby saving both time and money for the patients and their families.
