It updates the definition of a factory by adding poly houses and greenhouses used for floriculture, pomology, and high-value crops to the list of establishments covered. The amendment also introduces a new explanation defining high-value crops to include the cultivation of fruits, flowers, and vegetables in greenhouses, the use of bio-technology, medicinal plants, mushrooms, and other specialized horticultural activities. This change ensures that modern agricultural practices and processing industries are included under factory regulations.
