Delhi NCR has become one of India’s busiest trading hubs for dry fruits, spices, pulses, grains, and grocery distribution. From Khari Baoli in Old Delhi to wholesale markets in Noida, Gurugram, and Ghaziabad, thousands of businesses move food products every day. But in 2026, running a grocery or dry fruit wholesale business without proper food licensing is no longer a small risk, it is a legal violation.
If you deal in storage, packaging, repacking, importing, or bulk distribution of food items, FSSAI registration is mandatory. This guide explains how wholesalers in Delhi NCR can get their FSSAI license step by step-without confusion, penalties, or delays.
