PESO (Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organization) is a major responsible organization to regulate the hazardous substances and materials in India in order to ensure safe handling, storage, and usage to prevent the occurrence of any untoward incident affecting public life. Out of these regulated substances, AN is exceptional, primarily because it is currently used in large quantities and efficacy as a fertilizer and also for its importance as the main raw material in producing NO2, a chemical used by industries. Nevertheless, for explosive hazards, it carries by its very nature high risks for large-scale storage or usage; extensive precautions exist to prevent its usage and to maintain safety norms.
Any company involved in the production of nitrogen dioxide has the legal requirement of a PESO license to store ammonium nitrate beyond the required legal limit. The license also means that risks such as accidental explosions, fires or other hazardous incidents handling AN are well managed in controlled, compliant and safe conditions. Licensing requires preparation of detailed paperwork, passing inspection tests, as well as compliance with national as well as international safety standards. This page will discuss the whole process of PESO licensing for possessing AN, particularly for NO2 synthesis, its significance, prerequisites, the process of applying for a license, and compliance standards necessary for security and legal reasons.
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.
Benefits of PESO License to Possess Ammonium Nitrate (AN) for Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) Manufacturing
To obtain a PESO license to possess an AN for NO2 manufacturing in India, certain steps need to be followed to get passed through various safety and environmental issues in the country. Here’s a step-by-step procedure:

Note: Professional fee charges for PESO license is @₹49,000
A PESO license to possess AN for NO2 manufacturing can be obtained from the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation (PESO), and this license is issued for a period of 3 years and can be renewed every 3 years. The renewal application has to be made online as prescribed under Rule 165 of the Explosives Rules, 2008.
It is legal, safe, and necessary to have a PESO license for possession of AN for NO2 production to avoid implication of the law, insecure means, and closure of business. Coming under the operation of the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation (PESO), the licensing goes hand in hand with documentation, physical examination of the specified areas to be used, and compliance with some set measures of safety. The license not only minimizes legal responsibility and tends to make the business much more credible, but it also decreases the risks involved due to the dangerous character of AN. This license is vital for proper NO2 production operations, free from accident, and compliance with the law, which has a validity of three years renewable in accordance with the provisions of the Explosives Rules, 2008.

Because it is a powerful explosive, ammonium nitrate is a restricted product. A PESO license guarantees that organizations applying for it in the production of NO2 follow standard procedures and safety measures in handling the substance and comply with the set national laws.
The main advantages include avoiding legal problems, increasing safety, continuation of the business, better reputation among clients and authorities, and lower risks for accidents.
Some of the essential documents include an application form, identification and proof of address, site plans, local authorities’ NOC, safety assessment reports, manufacturing process details, and emergency response plans.
The PESO license is valid for three years and can be renewed for every three years based on 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.
