Industrial vastu has its roots attributed to the Indian continent. Over the years it has evolved to a great extent with the introduction of new and developed vastu techniques.
Industries should be planned according to the vastu principles. Though, the functioning of each industry is different, the basic vaastu principles remain the same. The adherence to vastu principles is necessary while drawing the plan of the industry, at the stage of construction, during installation of machinery, at the production department, the dispatch department etc. Adherence to vaastu principles leads to increase in production, sales and profits, ensures smooth functioning of the industry without any kind of labour troubles and other problems.
