The industrial policy reforms have reduced the industrial licensing requirements, removed restrictions on investment and expansion and facilitated easy access to foreign technology and foreign direct investment.
Licensing is done under Industries (Development & Regulation) Act 1951. Post 1991 de-licensing, presently only five industries are under compulsory licensing :
** Electronic aerospace and defence equipment
** Industrial explosives including detonating fuses, safety fuses, gun powder, nitrocellulose and matches
** Cigars and cigarettes of tobacco and manufactured tobacco substitutes
** [Fresh Licenses are not being granted for manufacture of this item on health grounds since 1999]
** Specified hazardous chemicals i.e (i) hydrocyanic acid and its derivatives (ii) Phosgene and its derivatives and (iii) Isocyanates & disocyanates of hydrocarbon not elsewhere specified (example methyl Isocynate)
** Distillation and brewing of alcoholic drinks
** [Licensing ceased by DIPP in compliance with Supreme Court Order dated 29/01/1997 in Bihar Distillery Case which ruled that industries engaged in manufacture of potable alcohol would be under the jurisdiction of the states]
In addition to above, a non-MSME unit manufacturing items reserved for MSME needs an Industrial License.
