> Yes, you need to obtain “permission” before you build any manufacturing structure on your own land with your own money. This permission is called the NA or Non-Agricultural Certificate. Well, I though it was this way everywhere in the world. In Europe, at least, you cannot build anything on agricultural land unless it is a n agricultural structure or you get the classification changed, which is not easy.
In Poland atm you can't even buy farmland unless you are a registered farmer in the local county already. Its a new rule and hopefully they remove it cause its insane. And then of course you can't just build on it. You may attempt to reclassify it into building land but from TFA it seems the process is just as tedious as in India and definietely not guaranteed to succeed. Theres a big chance, once you get to the buil…
Re: I tried starting a manufacturing unit in India (2020)
#251First you have to ask yourself why would such a rule exist? Sometimes it is done in the interest of national security. Or you run into issues such as a desert kingdom purchasing rights to use massive quantities of farmland where water is already scarce. See Saudi Alfalfa in California. Or why Bill Gates is the biggest private farm land owner in the United States at around 242,000 acres and climbing. You need to look past the knee jerk assumption that the government is schizophrenic. There may be greater forces at play this intends to put the brakes on without overtly prohibiting those activities.
