HRP Infra manages Initial and Final PESO clearances for petroleum pipelines, LPG storage, and hazardous installations across India — ensuring full compliance with the Petroleum Act, 1934 and Petroleum Rules, 2002.
The Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation (PESO) is the apex national authority under the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Government of India. PESO is responsible for regulating the safe manufacturing, storage, transport, and use of explosives, petroleum, and compressed gases across India.
For pipeline projects handling petroleum products — crude oil, refined products, LPG, or natural gas — PESO clearance is not optional. It is a legally mandated requirement under the Petroleum Act, 1934, and the Petroleum Rules, 2002 before any construction or operation can begin.
A PESO clearance confirms that your pipeline design, safety distances, hazardous area classification, and emergency systems meet India's national safety standards. Without it, your project cannot receive final statutory approval from other government agencies either.
Primary legislation governing petroleum handling, storage, and transport safety in India.
Detailed rules for licensing, safety distances, and inspection requirements for petroleum facilities.
Applicable to LPG storage, compressed gas cylinders, and pressurised vessel installations.
BIS standards including IS:1646, IS:2148, and OISD guidelines applicable to petroleum installations.
Pipeline projects require PESO clearance at two distinct stages — before construction and after construction. HRP Infra manages both.
Obtained before construction commences. Based on design documents, layout plans, and safety calculations submitted to the competent PESO regional officer for approval of the proposed pipeline or installation design.
Obtained after construction is complete. A PESO inspector physically inspects the installed pipeline or facility to confirm it was constructed as per the approved design, before issuing the final licence to operate.
