To establish and operate a Stone Crusher or Screening Plant, an application must be submitted to the office of the **District Magistrate (DM)** of the district where the unit is proposed to be installed. The license permits the applicant to crush minerals into different sizes (e.g., gitti, sand, dust) and screen them for commercial use, construction, or further distribution.

Applicants intending to set up a Stone Crusher or Screening Plant must submit details of land ownership, source of raw minerals, and compliance with all environmental and safety norms. If the source of raw material is not within the jurisdiction of the District Magistrate, an undertaking must be provided mentioning the mineral source and transportation details.

Upon receiving the application, the District Magistrate will initiate an enquiry to verify land suitability, pollution clearance, and adherence to government guidelines and regulations. If all criteria are met, a license may be issued for a period of up to **5 years**, subject to renewal, and post submission of security deposit and required fee as notified by the government.
