Fire NOC for a factory in Gujarat: who needs the certificate since 2021
Updated By Flamekite Editorial DeskFacts checked against official sources on
Fire NOC for a factory in Gujarat: factories left the certificate list on 8 July 2021. Who still needs one (15 m+, godowns over 500 m², hazardous stores), fees.
Quick answer
A fire NOC for a factory in Gujarat is not always required. Since the Second Amendment Rules of 8 July 2021, the fire safety certificate list (the Third Schedule) has no industrial line and covers only hazardous buildings not covered under the Factories Act, so a factory needs one when its building is 15 m or taller, and a godown with more than 500 m² on a floor or a hazardous store outside the Factories Act needs one at any height.
The certificate comes from one of Gujarat's 6 Regional Fire Officers, or the Chief Fire Officer inside the 8 municipal corporations, whether or not the plot is in a GIDC estate. You apply on GujFireSafety CoP or, as an investor, through the Investor Facilitation Portal, whose sheet promises 7 working days.
A fire NOC has not been a document for a Gujarat factory licence since the Labour Department's resolution of 9 February 2022. In July 2026 the state decided to hand factory fire NOCs to the Urban Development Department; no notification had been published by 28 October 2026.

How to get a fire NOC for a factory in Gujarat
Test the building against the July 2021 list
Measure the height and the largest floor of each block. A block of 15 m or more, a godown with a floor over 500 m², or a hazardous store outside the Factories Act needs the certificate; a single-storey production shed below 15 m is not listed.
File the factory side first
Seek plan approval in Form 31 under rule 69 of the Gujarat OSH Rules, 2025, with plans showing the means of escape, then apply for the licence in Form 33 under rule 75. Neither form asks for a fire NOC.
Open the fire application
Register on GujFireSafety CoP, or create a project on the Investor Facilitation Portal and pick Fire NoC External. The application goes to the Regional Fire Officer or the corporation's Chief Fire Officer.
Get the Fire Safety Plan Approval
Upload the fire plans for each listed block and pay the plan fee: Rs 2,500 for a ground-floor godown, Rs 5,000 for a single-storey hazardous store.
Install, then apply for the certificate
Fit the systems the Regulations ask for, pay the per-m² certificate fee and allow the Fire Officer's site inspection. On the IFP route the certificate is generated after the final payment.
Keep it alive
Diary the 3-year expiry, appoint an enrolled Fire Safety Officer before it, and file the declarations on time; late filings cost a share of the fee for each 90-day block.

Is a fire NOC mandatory for a factory in Gujarat? The two 2021 lists
The January 2021 list caught industry by hazard; the July 2021 list, in force since, does not name industrial buildings at all.
| January 2021 (GH/V/9) | July 2021 (GH/V/68), current | |
|---|---|---|
| Light-hazard industry Gujarat Rules, Jul 2021 | Listed from 15 m | Not listed as industry; a block of 15 m or more is still a high-rise |
| Moderate-hazard industry Gujarat Rules, Jul 2021 | Listed over 500 m² covered area | Not listed |
| High-hazard industry Gujarat Rules, Jul 2021 | Listed over 50 m² covered area | Not listed |

The Fourth Schedule lost its industrial Fire Safety Officer lines the same day. Read from the signed notification; the copy on GujFireSafety CoP returned Document Not Found on 28 October 2026.
The Gujarat Third Schedule's factory carve-out, word for word
Word for word
(6) all hazardous buildings not covered under The Factories Act, 1948
The Regulations 2023 repeat the carve-out in regulation 26(g), which asks for a Fire Safety Officer on the premises of hazardous and storage buildings below 15 m "not covered under the factory act 1948". Neither text says how the words read after the OSH Code replaced that Act on 21 November 2025.

What the Gujarat OSH Rules 2025 ask of a factory about fire
Gujarat's factory rules under the OSH Code, gazetted on 12 June 2025 in place of the 1963 rules, ask for escape routes on the plans and put common fire systems on the landlord, but list no fire NOC.
1. Rule 69: plan approval
No premises may be built, extended or used as a factory without the Chief Inspector-cum-Facilitator's prior written permission, sought in Form 31 with the process flow and raw materials with storage quantities. Gujarat Gazette
2. Form 31 plans
The enclosure list asks for plans showing "means of escape in case of fire", the plant layout, aisles and passages. Gujarat Gazette
3. Rule 75: the licence
Applied for in Form 33 and granted in Form 34; no fire NOC is among the papers. Gujarat Gazette
4. Rule 82: shared premises
Where separate buildings are leased as separate factories, the owner keeps the common fire prevention and protection system; in a flatted factory the owner answers as occupier for the fire system and its water. Gujarat Gazette
5. The 2020 to 2022 interlude
A fire NOC was a licence document only from 26 November 2020 until the resolution of 9 February 2022 dropped it. Gujarat Labour GR 2022
Gujarat fire NOC fees for factory godowns and hazardous stores
Annexure 8 of the Regulations 2023 has no manufacturing row. A factory pays only for its listed blocks, at the godown, hazardous-store or building-type rate; the IFP sheet prints the same amounts.
As published
- Godown over 250 m², ground floor onlyRs 10 per m²Plan Rs 2,500; renewal Rs 2,500 (code C8S1) Gujarat Fire Safety Compliance Portal
- Godown over 250 m², ground plus 1Rs 15 per m²Plan Rs 2,500; renewal Rs 2,500 (C8S2) Gujarat Fire Safety Compliance Portal
- Godown over 250 m², more than ground plus 1Rs 20 per m²Plan Rs 5,000; renewal Rs 5,000 (C8S3) Gujarat Fire Safety Compliance Portal
- Hazardous or flammable store, single storeyRs 20 per m²Plan Rs 5,000; renewal Rs 5,000 (C9H1) Gujarat Fire Safety Compliance Portal
- Hazardous or flammable store, more than one floorRs 30 per m²Plan Rs 7,000; renewal Rs 7,000 (C9H2) Gujarat Fire Safety Compliance Portal
- IFP renewal, per blockRs 2,500 + Rs 1,000Site inspection plus issuance, as the IFP renewal sheet states Gujarat IFP
Certificate fees are per m² of built-up area. Annexure 8 prices godowns from 250 m² while the Third Schedule lists storage from 500 m² on a floor; the Regulations do not explain the gap. Every state's rates are on the fire NOC fees page.

What a Gujarat factory risks under the fire Act and the OSH Code
A listed block answers to section 39 of the Gujarat Act; the factory itself to the OSH Code. The full Gujarat ladder is on the state page.
| Offence | Penalty | Law |
|---|---|---|
| Not maintaining a listed block's fire equipment, or a false compliance certificate | 1 month to 2 years, or Rs 10,000 to Rs 1,00,000, or both, plus up to Rs 3,000 a day | Gujarat Act 2013, section 39(1) Gujarat Gazette |

| A contravention of the Code with no specific penalty | Rs 2 lakh to Rs 3 lakh; Rs 2,000 a day if it continues | OSH Code, section 94 OSH Code |
| Breaching a hazardous-process duty | Up to 2 years and up to Rs 5 lakh; Rs 25,000 a day if it continues | OSH Code, section 102 OSH Code |

Where Gujarat factory fire approvals go wrong, and the fix
Most delays come from applying the wrong 2021 list, or from treating a campus as one building.
If A consultant files for a 600 m² production shed under the January 2021 moderate-hazard line
Cite the 8 July 2021 Third Schedule and ask the fire officer to record whether the block is listed. Gujarat Rules, Jul 2021
If The finished-goods godown on the campus is forgotten
Measure each floor: a godown floor over 500 m² is listed even if the production shed is not. Gujarat Rules, Jul 2021
If The IFP renewal fee and Annexure 8 differ
The IFP sheet states Rs 2,500 a block plus Rs 1,000; Annexure 8 a flat renewal fee. Ask which applies before paying. Gujarat IFP
If A 6-monthly declaration is missed after renewal
Each 90-day block of delay costs 100% of a fee; diary both dates. Gujarat Fire Safety Compliance Portal

What Flamekite could not confirm about Gujarat factory fire NOCs
How fire officers apply item (a), the 15 m high-rise line, to registered factories. The text has no exception; we found no circular either way.
How the carve-out "not covered under The Factories Act, 1948" reads now that the OSH Code replaced that Act on 21 November 2025. No Gujarat notification updates the words.
Whether a godown inside a registered factory falls under item (b)(1) storage. Regulation 26(g) groups storage with hazardous buildings "not covered under the factory act 1948", but the Third Schedule's carve-out sits only on item 6.
Whether the Gujarat Pollution Control Board lists a fire NOC among the documents for consent to establish or consolidated consent. Its 2023 guidance manual has checklists, but we could not read them.
Any GIDC fire NOC procedure or fire service charge for a bare plot. GIDC's pages describe the fire NOC that comes with a plug-and-play shed and list fire stations among estate amenities, and nothing more.
The Urban Development Department notification reported on 20 July 2026, and the 2021 resolution said to have given factory fire safety to the Labour Department. Neither was found by 28 October 2026.
