The demand for tiffin services in Delhi has grown massively in 2025, especially in areas like Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, Dwarka, Rohini, and South Delhi. Whether you operate a home-based tiffin service, run a small cloud kitchen, or deliver meals to offices, you must obtain an FSSAI License to legally operate.

In fact, Zomato, Swiggy, Housing societies, corporate offices, and co-working spaces will not onboard or trust a tiffin service unless a valid FSSAI Registration or License is provided.
