Running a warehouse in India isn’t just about storage — it’s about regulatory trust and compliance. Here are 3 key pillars every operator should be aware of:

✅ WDRA Registration – If your warehouse issues Negotiable Warehouse Receipts (NWRs/eNWRs) for agri commodities, registration with the Warehousing Development & Regulatory Authority (WDRA) is mandatory.

✅ Electronic Receipts – Since 2019, only eNWRs are valid for registered warehouses. This ensures transparency, reduces fraud, and makes it easier for farmers/traders to access credit.

✅ Audit & Standards – From infrastructure and insurance to SOPs, grading, and quality checks, warehouses must comply with WDRA norms and undergo periodic audits.

💡 Why it matters: Compliance builds trust with banks, farmers, and corporates, unlocks financing, and positions warehouses as reliable nodes in India’s growing supply chain ecosystem.
