What Centre for Environment and Food Technology does

Centre for Environment & Food Technology (CEFT) Pvt. Ltd. is a New Delhi-based, NABL-accredited multidisciplinary testing and consulting laboratory established in 2016. The company delivers environmental pollution testing (air, water, noise, and soil), industrial effluent and emission testing (ETP, STP, gaseous emissions), food testing across 19 product categories, microbiological testing, migration testing for food-contact packaging, and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) consultancy. Operations are anchored in a single in-house laboratory at Moti Nagar, New Delhi, and supported by recognized credentials including NABL accreditation, FSSAI recognition, MoEF recognition, and ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and OHSAS 18001:2007 certifications, with NABET accreditation for EIA studies under process.

CEFT sells its services on a B2B, quote-based, pay-as-you-go model to enterprise and institutional customers across India, with named relationships spanning healthcare (Fortis, Max Healthcare), food and beverage (Haldiram's, UP Sugar), hospitality (Lemon Tree Hotels, Jaypee Siddharth), automotive (Galaxy Toyota), education (IIT, GBU, Jamia Millia Islamia), infrastructure (JMC, Yamuna Expressway Authority), and government (Indian Railways, Delhi Urban). Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-based, supplemented by a 'Book Your Testing' digital intake portal on ceftlab.com and a presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding, no parent entity, and no M&A activity, suggesting an independently operated, owner-managed services firm rather than a venture-backed scale play.
