Installing a lift (elevator) in any building in Delhi—whether residential, commercial, or industrial—requires a Lift Installation License issued by the Office of the Electrical Inspectorate, Government of NCT of Delhi.

This license ensures that the lift installation meets all safety standards under the Delhi Lift Rules. It is mandatory before commissioning or operating any lift in a building.
