Manufacturer Identification for Company A
Company A, a brand owner for consumer home care products (e.g., laundry detergent, floor cleaner, dishwash gel), desires to be publicly identified as the manufacturer of its products, both for its own brand and those supplied to other brands (via private label agreements). Company A is a private limited company, registered in Karnataka with a registered office in Gujarat, and holds Startup India and MSME registrations.
Company B, the current manufacturer, is located in Gujarat and has not yet needed a specific license to manufacture detergents, they have regular approvals to run a manufacturing facility. The question is whether there are any legal hurdles to ensure Company A can be publicly identified as the manufacturer, considering applicable regulations, including but not limited to:
Legal Metrology Act
Consumer Protection Act
State Pollution Control Acts
Clarifications:
1. The products being manufacturer do not fall under Drugs and Cosmetics Act and/or are not medical devices
2. No Ayush product involved

Loan licensing agreement between A and B could be a solution?
A enters into a contract to rent the manufacturing facility/license of B. Since there is no Drugs and Cosmetics related product or Ayush Product or Medical product, there is no official requirement to register/get approval for the loan license. BIS requirements are for synthetic powder detergents, while we deal with natural ingredient based liquids/sheet form.
Please also consider the above points to look at how A can be marked as manufacturer on the label as per Legal Metrology and Consumer Act
