Cold storage units, warehouses, logistics hubs, stock points, and distribution centers play a major role in keeping food items safe and moving across Delhi NCR. Whether you store grains, dairy, frozen foods, meat, beverages, FMCG goods, or packaged foods, having a valid FSSAI Storage License is mandatory.
In Delhi NCR including Delhi, Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, and Faridabad, thousands of food businesses depend on cold storage facilities. Since these facilities handle large amounts of food items, FSSAI makes sure they follow proper hygiene, temperature control, and clean storage practices.
If you run a warehouse or cold storage or are planning to start one, this guide will explain the eligibility, documents, online application process, fees, validity, renewal, and how PSR Compliance helps you get the license easily.
An FSSAI Storage License is a mandatory approval issued by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India to businesses involved in storing food products. This includes:
It confirms that the storage premises meet FSSAI safety standards: cleanliness, pest control, hygiene, and proper temperature management.
Under the updated guidelines effective from April 1, 2026, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has revised its annual turnover thresholds to determine your food business compliance category. The licensing tiers and turnover thresholds are categorized as follows:
For small cold storage units and warehouses storing limited food stock such as local food items, small retail supply, and low volume storage operations.
For medium-sized cold storage facilities and warehouses operating within a single state, including regional distribution centers and organized storage businesses.
Required if:
Most NCR cold storages and warehouses fall under State License or Central License.
In the first step, you need to understand which type of FSSAI license your business requires. This depends mainly on your annual turnover and the size of your operations.
You should also check whether your cold storage or warehouse activity falls under food storage operations covered by FSSAI rules.
After confirming eligibility, you must collect all required documents before starting the application. Proper documentation helps avoid rejection and delays.
You will need business proof like PAN, Aadhaar, GST registration, and incorporation documents. You will also need premises documents such as rent agreement or property papers, electricity bill, and layout plan.
In addition, hygiene and safety documents like FSMS plan, pest control agreement, water test report, and employee health certificates may also be required.
Next, you need to apply online through the official FoSCoS portal. You must select the correct license type based on your eligibility and enter all business details carefully.
This includes business name, address, storage type, capacity, contact details, and ownership information. Any mistake in details can lead to delay or rejection.
In this step, you must upload all supporting details of your cold storage or warehouse.
This includes layout plan showing storage areas, refrigeration and temperature control system details, storage capacity, and hygiene compliance documents.
These details help FSSAI understand whether your facility meets required safety standards.
Once documents and details are uploaded, you must pay the government fee as per your license type.
The fee varies depending on whether you are applying for Basic Registration, State License, or Central License. Payment is done online through the FoSCoS portal.
After submission, an FSSAI officer may visit your facility for physical inspection.
The officer checks cleanliness, temperature control, storage conditions, pest control measures, and overall food safety compliance.
If any issues are found, you may be asked to correct them before approval.
Once verification and inspection are successfully completed, FSSAI issues your Storage License.
After approval, your license becomes valid and you are legally allowed to store and handle food products as per the approved category.
₹100 per year
₹2,000 – ₹5,000 per year(based on storage capacity & business category)
