How to get your FSSAI license for a biryani cloud kitchen in Hyderabad — the 2026 reforms changed everything

The April 2026 reforms raised the Basic Registration threshold from ₹12 lakh to ₹1.5 crore and made licenses perpetually valid. Most new cloud kitchens in Hyderabad now qualify for the ₹100 Basic Registration. Here is the full step-by-step process, document checklist, and timeline — written for first-time operators, not lawyers.

Why this site exists

Hyderabad's cloud kitchen market is growing at 25%+ annually. Hundreds of first-time operators are setting up biryani kitchens every month — spending ₹3–10 lakhs of their savings — and then spending weeks lost in IndiaMART, confused by FSSAI paperwork, and unable to find a masala supplier they can actually trust.

"The best biryani in Hyderabad is still being made by someone who has never heard of a 'growth hack.'"

iBiryani.com exists to give those operators the information they need, without the runaround. Every supplier in the directory has been checked. Every compliance guide is written against current regulations. Every number has a source. If something is out of date or wrong, there is a report button on every page.

This is not a marketplace. We do not take commissions from transactions. Suppliers in the featured tier pay a modest listing fee that keeps the directory maintained. Everything else is free, and always will be.
