Fire NOC for factories in Uttar Pradesh
In brief: Fire NOC for a factory in Uttar Pradesh is issued by the Directorate of Fire and Emergency Services, Uttar Pradesh, headed by the Director General, under the UP Fire and Emergency Services Act, 2022 and the UP Fire and Emergency Services Rules, 2024 — which replaced the 2005 Act that many older guides still reference. Applications route through the state’s online systems, with Nivesh Mitra used for industrial-investor-facing cases alongside the Directorate’s own processing. The underlying NBC 2016 fire-engineering requirements are unchanged; the administering law and process are what moved.
If you’re planning a Fire NOC for a factory in Noida, Greater Noida, the YEIDA corridor, Ghaziabad or Meerut, the process runs under the UP Fire and Emergency Services Act, 2022 — not the older 2005 Act that many older guides still reference.
This page covers what’s specific to UP. For the full NBC 2016 engineering — the two-stage process, document checklist, cost drivers, and the 10 reasons fire schemes get rejected — see the complete Fire NOC guide.

A material correction worth knowing
If your fire consultant, a downloaded checklist, or an older guide cites the “UP Fire Prevention and Fire Safety Act, 2005” as current law — it’s outdated. The 2022 Act and its 2024 Rules govern UP fire-NOC applications now. The underlying NBC 2016 fire-engineering requirements haven’t changed; the administering law and process have.
Two parallel tracks inside NOIDA / GNIDA / YEIDA
Unlike a municipal-fire-department state where the fire NOC is the only track, inside Noida, Greater Noida and the Yamuna Expressway corridor the fire NOC runs alongside the development authority’s own building-plan sanction — both have to be consistent, and both authorities cross-check against each other. A fire scheme that doesn’t match the sanctioned building plan is a common query source here specifically.

Frequently asked questions
Which department issues the Fire NOC in Uttar Pradesh?
The Directorate of Fire and Emergency Services, Uttar Pradesh, headed by the Director General, Fire and Emergency Services, issues the Fire NOC — under the UP Fire and Emergency Services Act, 2022.
What law governs Fire NOC in UP, and has it changed recently?
The UP Fire and Emergency Services Act, 2022 governs it now, along with the UP Fire and Emergency Services Rules, 2024. This replaced the older UP Fire Prevention and Fire Safety Act, 2005 — a number of older guides and consultants still cite the outdated 2005 Act.
How does the fire-NOC process work inside Noida, Greater Noida and YEIDA?
Inside these authorities' territory, the fire NOC runs as a parallel, cross-checked track alongside the authority's own building-plan sanction (NOIDA Authority, GNIDA or YEIDA respectively) — both need to align before occupancy.
Is the process different in Ghaziabad (Sahibabad) versus Noida?
The governing Act is the same statewide. Sahibabad's older, denser plots (Sites I-IV) more often need retrofit fire-compliance work than Noida/Greater Noida's newer construction, which is usually built to current code from day one.
What portal is used for industrial Fire NOC applications in UP?
Applications route through the state's online systems, with Nivesh Mitra used for industrial-investor-facing cases alongside the Directorate of Fire and Emergency Services' own processing.
Does the YEIDA / Jewar corridor boom affect Fire NOC processing time?
Yes — high application volume in the Yamuna Expressway corridor means scheme quality determines queue position. Clean, well-prepared submissions move faster; deficient ones sit.
