Manufacturing and Industrials

We advise Indian and international manufacturers across the plant lifecycle. Land, industrial plot allotment and state incentive arrangements. Factory licensing, building plan approval, boiler, electrical and fire clearances. Environmental consents, categorisation and hazardous waste authorisation. Workforce structure, contract labour compliance, standing orders and industrial relations. Supply, tolling, contract manufacturing and equipment procurement contracting, including the warranty, liability and force majeure allocation that matters when a line stops. Product liability and recall. Import, customs classification and trade remedy exposure at the level of coordination with specialist advisers. Expansion, relocation and closure, which in India is a labour and environmental exercise before it is a property one. Diligence on industrial assets in acquisitions, where the liabilities are historic and rarely disclosed.
