Under Section 11 of the Industrial Enterprises Act, 2076, any industry registered for operation in a specific location must obtain prior approval from the industry registration body before shifting to another place. This process is strictly procedural and ensures that the new industrial site complies with national zoning, environmental standards, and provincial regulations.
