The Shops and Commercial Establishments Act is a state act, and as such, separate acts are available for each state in India. Therefore, you have to take registration for each warehouse separately under the respective State Act.

Any person engaging in business or running a venture should obtain a trade license from the local administration, along with the relevant registration under the Shops Act, Factories Act, Plantations Labour Act, or Mines Act, as applicable. The purpose of the former is to obtain permission to conduct business, while the latter is to ensure proper working conditions for employed individuals. Therefore, individuals operating warehousing operations should ensure they obtain a trade license without fail.

Obtaining a trade license is not governed by any Shops and Commercial Establishments Act; rather, it falls under the jurisdiction of local administration, such as Corporations, Municipalities, and Gram Panchayats. I am not aware of any state in India that permits businesses to operate without a trade license!
