APEDA Infrastructure Certification Experts

APEDA infrastructure requirements include proper processing facilities with adequate space, temperature-controlled storage areas, quality testing laboratories, water treatment systems, waste management facilities, power backup systems, and compliance with building safety standards. The infrastructure must support food safety protocols, traceability systems, and meet international export standards for your specific product categories.

Infrastructure certification timeline varies based on project complexity and current facility status. New infrastructure projects typically take 3-6 months from planning to certification, while existing facility upgrades may take 6-12 weeks. Our fast-track services can reduce timelines by 30-40%. Factors affecting duration include infrastructure readiness, regulatory approvals, equipment installation, and inspection scheduling.

Infrastructure certification costs depend on facility size, complexity, and services required. Government fees range from ₹25,000-1,00,000, while consulting fees vary based on project scope. Infrastructure development costs are separate and depend on your specific requirements.
