Running a food business in Delhi requires navigating both central and state regulations. From the bustling streets of Old Delhi to the high-end cafes in Connaught Place, FSSAI compliance is the foundation of a successful food venture.
In Delhi, the Food Safety Department under the Government of NCT of Delhi manages most State Licenses. For businesses operating at the airport or in central government buildings, a Central License may be required.
Besides FSSAI, many food businesses in Delhi also need a 'No Objection Certificate' (NOC) from the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC), especially if they are involved in manufacturing or large-scale processing.
Delhi is famous for its street food. FSSAI's 'Clean Street Food' hubs in areas like Sarojini Nagar and Lajpat Nagar have set high standards for local vendors, ensuring that the legacy of Delhi's flavors is backed by modern safety.
