Dubai Industrial City (DIC) Authority Approval Specialists

What?

What approvals are mandatory in DIC?

Any industrial modification—from new plant construction to warehouse mezzanine additions—requires a DDA Building Permit. Additionally, an NOC from TECOM Group (as the master developer) is required for all leasehold plots.

Why?

Why is DIC compliance highly specialized?

As a dedicated industrial zone, DIC has specific regulations regarding Heavy Vehicle Access, Industrial Waste Management, and Power Load Capacities. Non-compliance leads to heavy TECOM fines and rejection of operational trade licenses.

Who?

Who manages the technical DDA submissions?

Dar Al Naseeb acts as your authorized contractor and liaison. We manage the DDA E-Permit portal, coordinate with Dubai Municipality (DM) for environmental audits, and interface with Dubai Civil Defence (DCD) for hazardous material safety.

Where?

Where do these permits apply?

Our services cover the entire DIC master plan, including the Food & Beverage Zone, Base Metals & Transportation Zone, and Labor Accommodation clusters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a mainland trade license for work in DIC?
DIC is a TECOM zone. While contractors must be registered with the DDA, the business operating in DIC must hold a DIC-specific industrial or commercial license.
Does DIC allow 100% Mezzanine coverage?
No. Mezzanine floors are generally restricted to a percentage of the total floor area (usually 50% or less) to ensure structural and fire safety compliance.
What is an EIA and do I need one for my warehouse?
An Environmental Impact Assessment is required for manufacturing activities to ensure waste, noise, and air emissions meet Dubai Municipality standards.
