Fire NOC Requirements for Warehouses
Is a Fire NOC required for warehouses where ready-manufactured goods are received, stored, and then dispatched? According to NBC 2016, warehouses fall under GROUP H - STORAGE type buildings. An online search indicates that some states, such as Telangana and Maharashtra, state that a Fire NOC is not required. However, Table 7, Chapter 4 of the Fire Safety section in NBC specifies sprinkler and hydrant requirements for warehouses.
Implementation of Fire Safety Measures
Who is responsible for checking whether these fire safety measures are implemented? I am essentially looking for reference material on the fire safety requirements for warehouses in India.

Fire NOC and Firefighting Equipment: Are They Required for Warehouses?
Of course, NOC and firefighting equipment are different.
The main question is whether a Fire NOC is required for warehouses. If not required, then who is enforcing NBC requirements for warehouses (that is where I referenced sprinklers, etc.)?

Fire NOC Requirements in India
Fire is a state subject in India. Every state has different conditions to trigger the requirement of a Fire NOC. In some states, the Fire NOC for a warehouse is mandated based on the height of the building, while in others, it is based on the built-up area of the building. Whether a warehouse requires a Fire NOC or not is not a deciding factor for that warehouse to follow NBC 2016 requirements. It varies based on the State Fire Prevention/Fire Service Act and Rules. Some states have made it mandatory to follow NBC. NBC 2016 itself is not a mandatory document until it is triggered by state/central level legislation or a Fire NOC.
