The Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organization (PESO) is the legal institution regulating the shipment and storage of petroleum products in India. In most jurisdictions, permission from the PESO is required before undertaking construction of pipelines for use in the transportation of petroleum, as they follow strict safety measures and legal requirements. Such approval is crucial in protecting against possible risks of petroleum movement, including spillages, fires, and explosions, which are dangerous to the lives of people and the environment. Through compliance assessments as well as setting out rigid criteria for designing, constructing, and operating the pipelines, PESO Confidential & Non-Confidential Pipeline systems are constructed and operated in a safe way and without compromising safety and environment standards set by the Government of India.
Pre-approval measures for these projects require the submission of well-analyzed project profiles, safety measures, and compliance reports for the projects to be approved by PESO authorities. It is also useful in addressing possible operational risks as well as making sure that the pipelines are running smoothly at the legal capacity. Thus, the approval of PESO is not just one of the formalities but it is the necessity and stepping stone for the provision of safe and secured transportation of petroleum products in India.
A PESO license is an essential license needed to store, transport, use, and handle petroleum, explosives, and compressed gasses in India. The organization is under the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Ministry of Commerce and Industry.
Thus, the PESO license covers mandatory requirements for assessing safety standards laid down in the Petroleum Act of 1934, the Explosives Act of 1884, and the Gas Cylinders Rules of 2004. It is compulsory to industries, gas agencies, fuel stations, and even persons who deal in LPG, CNG, petroleum products fireworks, etc.
In order to obtain a license, one is supposed to fill out an application, in which details are entered on PESO’s official site, and these include the type of substance, facility, and measures being taken. When it comes to setup, the application is followed by inspections and approvals to ensure that setup complies with the safety standards meant to prevent risks such as fire, explosion, and harm to the environment.

The approval given by the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organization vital to the safe carriage of petroleum products through pipelines in India. It ensures compliance with strict safety measures that reduce the chances of leakage, fire outbreaks, and blasts, besides achieving regulatory requirements and operations. It has a number of approval steps, such as documentation, inspection, and fee assessment, where licenses are offered for a period of 3 years but are renewable.

The approval from PESO is important in as much as it helps to ascertain that those undertaking the construction and operation of the pipelines are the ones who have the capacity to design and construct pipelines that conform to the set national safety and environmental standards. This minimizes risk, checks the legal aspects, increases effectiveness, and saves people and nature from harm.
Advantages are compliance with safety measures, regulatory requirements, improved functionality, increased competitiveness in the market, and conservation of the environment. Gaining the PESO approval minimizes the chances of accidents and legal problems, as well as increasing the dependability and efficiency of pipeline operations.
Some of the steps include preparing necessary documents, filling out and submitting an online or offline application, inspection by PESO officials, payment of appropriate fees, and a reviewing process. Once all requirements are fulfilled, PESO will provide the approval with conditions for the renewal and monitoring.
Pipeline approval by the PESO is given for a period of three years. It can be renewed every three years, provided this is done in accordance with the procedures set under Rule 165 of the Explosives Rules, 2008.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
