<h1>Industrial License Validity Extended to Three Years; Apply 60 Days Before Expiry for Further Extension.</h1> The validity period of Industrial Licenses has been extended from two to three years to facilitate business operations. For licenses where production hasn't started within three years, applications for extension must be submitted 60 days before expiry. The firm's status must match the original license, and any changes must be endorsed. Applications are reviewed by the Ministry of Home Affairs and relevant state government if there are changes in key personnel. Applicants must have secured land, begun construction, and ordered machinery. Extensions are granted for two years, and licenses lapse if production doesn't start within five years.
