Industrial N.A. Land Conversion | TANVI Consultancy & Services

WHAT INDUSTRIAL N.A. MEANS

A land-use approval aligned with the proposed industrial activity.

Agricultural land cannot automatically be used for a factory, workshop, processing unit, warehouse or other industrial purpose. The land-use position has to be checked against the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, the applicable Development Plan or Regional Plan, and any project-specific approvals.

For an industrial proposal, the review normally goes beyond ownership records. Road access, zoning, acquisition status, water availability, drainage and sewage arrangements, pollution-control requirements and conditions attached to the land can all affect whether the proposal can move forward.

Important: The exact route can differ by location and planning status. In some notified/planned areas, later amendments to the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code provide a different mechanism from the traditional standalone N.A. permission process. The applicable route should therefore be confirmed for the specific survey number before filing.

LEGAL & PLANNING CHECK

Start with feasibility before spending on the application.

A strong Industrial N.A. case begins by checking whether the land and the proposed activity are compatible before preparing a large document set.

Revenue record

Review 7/12, 8-A, mutation entries, tenure conditions, other-rights entries, revenue dues and ownership continuity.

Zoning & planning

Confirm whether the proposed industrial use is consistent with the applicable Development Plan, Regional Plan or planning authority rules.

Legal access

Check approach road, right-of-way documents, highway/PWD implications and whether the site has lawful access suitable for the proposal.

Utilities & disposal

Industrial proposals may need credible arrangements for water supply, sewage, storm water, effluent and other basic infrastructure.

Restricted areas

Forest, eco-sensitive, acquisition, reservation, coastal or other restricted conditions can change the approval path or require additional clearances.

Environmental interface

For industrial use, pollution-control requirements may need to be considered alongside the land conversion and development approvals.

INDUSTRIAL N.A. WORKFLOW

A practical path from agricultural record to industrial-use approval.

The exact authority and sequence can vary with the district, planning jurisdiction and nature of the land. TANVI Consultancy structures the work around the actual case rather than using a one-size-fits-all checklist.

LEGAL FOUNDATION

Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966

Section 42 deals with use of agricultural land for non-agricultural purposes. Section 44 contains the traditional application framework for conversion/use-change cases. Later provisions and planning-area mechanisms may alter the route in specific locations.

Official Maharashtra text

Land-record due diligence

Collect and review ownership records, 7/12, 8-A, mutation history, tenure restrictions, tax/revenue status and other-rights entries.

Industrial-use feasibility

Match the intended industrial activity with zoning, site access, reservations, planning controls and project constraints.

Survey & technical drawings

Organise measurement plans, site/location plans, layout drawings, internal roads, open spaces and other drawings applicable to the proposal.

NOCs & supporting approvals

Identify the NOCs actually required for the parcel—for example local authority, road authority, acquisition, planning or environmental interfaces.

Application preparation

Prepare the prescribed proposal with the land details, proposed industrial use, supporting records and declarations required for the applicable route.

Submission & authority review

Coordinate filing, site verification, scrutiny and responses to queries or deficiencies raised during examination.

Charges & conditions

Applicable government assessment, conversion charges, premium or other statutory amounts are determined case-by-case by the competent authority.

Order & record update

After approval, coordinate the next record-related steps, mutation/remarks and compliance with conditions attached to the industrial-use permission.

DOCUMENT PREPARATION

Typical documents for an Industrial N.A. case.

Not every document below applies to every parcel. The final checklist should be created only after reviewing the survey number, tenure, zoning and proposed industrial activity.

Land & title records

Current 7/12 extract and Record of Rights
8-A account extract
Relevant mutation / Ferfar entries
Title search and ownership documents
Revenue / tax payment receipts
Tenure or special-condition permissions, if applicable

Survey & layout records

Land map / Gut book plan
Certified measurement plan
Location and site plan
Industrial layout / plot utilisation plan
Internal road and open-space details
Architect appointment/registration documents where required

NOCs & clearances

Local body / planning authority NOC where applicable
Highway / PWD / access-related NOC where applicable
Land acquisition status confirmation
Boundary or right-of-way documentation where relevant
Pollution-control interface for industrial use, where applicable
Other project-specific permissions identified during scrutiny

Industrial infrastructure

Proposed water source / availability details
Sewage and drainage arrangements
Effluent handling concept, where relevant
Power and utility planning as applicable
Approach/access infrastructure
Supporting project details requested by the authority

WHY INDUSTRIAL CASES NEED EXTRA CARE

Industrial N.A. is connected to more than land classification.

An industrial site may ultimately need planning permission, building permission, factory-related approvals, MPCB consent, water permissions and utility infrastructure. A land conversion should therefore be approached with the intended project in mind—not as an isolated revenue-office exercise.

Zoning mismatchThe proposed industry may not be permissible in the applicable land-use zone.

Title / succession issuesIncomplete ownership continuity or disputed rights can delay or stop the proposal.

Access deficiencyIndustrial development needs legally defensible access and may face road-width or highway-control restrictions.

Special land conditionsNew tenure, tenancy, inam, reservation, acquisition or other restrictions may require separate action.

Environmental constraintsForest, eco-sensitive, CRZ or pollution-control requirements can introduce additional approvals.

Incomplete drawingsMismatch between survey records, measurements and proposed layout often creates avoidable queries.

INDUSTRIAL N.A. FAQ

Questions worth answering before you file.

No. Industrial N.A. concerns lawful land use for the proposed industrial purpose. MPCB Consent addresses environmental permissions for the industrial activity. Depending on the project, both may be relevant, along with planning and building approvals.

No. Feasibility depends on zoning, title, tenure, access, reservations/restrictions, environmental constraints and the proposed industrial activity. The land should be screened before assuming conversion is possible.

There is no reliable one-number timeline for every case. Processing depends on the applicable legal route, completeness of documents, site/planning status, inspections, required NOCs and the time needed to resolve queries. We recommend assessing the specific parcel rather than relying on generic online estimates.

Statutory charges can vary with the land, location, use, assessment and the provisions applicable at the time of the case. TANVI Consultancy can help identify the expected heads of government payment after the land details are reviewed; a generic per-square-metre figure should not be treated as a final quotation.

Not necessarily. Industrial development can require separate planning/development permission, building approval, environmental permissions, factory-related approvals and utilities. The N.A. position is one part of the complete project approval chain.
