Setting up a mineral or packaged drinking water plant requires more than quality machinery—it demands compliance with BIS, FSSAI, and Pollution Control Board regulations. Lalita Projects Private Limited simplifies the process by offering complete turnkey solutions, including expert guidance and documentation support to help secure all the necessary statutory approvals efficiently.
BIS, FSSAI & Pollution Control Board Approvals Explained for Water Plants
Starting a mineral water business requires approvals from BIS, FSSAI, and the State Pollution Control Board, ensuring legal compliance, product quality, food safety, and environmentally responsible operations.
1. BIS Certification – Ensuring Product Quality
BIS certification establishes that your packaged drinking water is produced in accordance with recognised Indian quality standards. The approval process generally involves:
- Installation of approved water treatment systems
- A fully equipped water testing laboratory
- Regular physical, chemical, and microbiological testing
- Inspection of plant infrastructure and manufacturing processes
- Quality control documentation
Meeting these requirements helps build consumer confidence and demonstrates your commitment to delivering safe drinking water.
2. FSSAI Licence – Compliance with Food Safety Regulations
Since packaged drinking water is regulated as a food product, every manufacturer must obtain an FSSAI licence before commencing commercial operations. The licensing process evaluates several factors, including:
- Food safety management practices
- Plant hygiene and sanitation
- Water quality monitoring
- Manufacturing procedures
- Product traceability and documentation
An FSSAI licence not only fulfils regulatory requirements but also enhances your brand’s credibility in the marketplace.
3. Pollution Control Board Approval – Supporting Responsible Manufacturing
Every water plant must also obtain the required environmental approvals from the State Pollution Control Board. These approvals typically focus on:
- Water source management
- Wastewater disposal
- Environmental compliance
- Sustainable plant operations
Obtaining these permissions demonstrates that your factory operates responsibly while protecting local water resources and the surrounding environment.
