Maharashtra

Mumbai is one of Maharashtra's major food business hubs, home to everything from home-based kitchens and street food stalls to full-scale restaurants and packaged food manufacturers. Any food business operating in Mumbai — whether it sells Vada Pav or Pav Bhaji, runs a cloud kitchen, or manufactures packaged food — generally needs FSSAI registration or a license depending on its size, turnover and type of operation. Because requirements can vary by business category and can change over time, always confirm the current applicable category and documentation on the official FoSCoS portal (foscos.fssai.gov.in) before applying. This page brings together general guidance relevant to food businesses in Mumbai, along with links to our detailed registration, licensing and compliance guides.
