Let’s be honest — most of us don’t even hear about PESO until we’re about to start something related to gas cylinders, petroleum, or pressure vessels.
Even I came across it while helping a friend who was setting up an LPG valve manufacturing unit. We were all sorted — machines ready, vendors in line — but then came the real deal:
“Do you have your PESO license?”
That’s when we realized — no PESO approval, no business. Simple.
PESO Full Form and What It Does
First things first: PESO = Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation.
It’s a government body under the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) that handles safety norms for things like:
- Gas cylinders
- Petroleum storage
- Explosives
- Pressure-related equipment
So yeah, anything that can explode, leak, or blow up — PESO is watching it.
If you’re manufacturing, importing, storing, or transporting such products, you must have PESO certification.
Who Really Needs a PESO License?
Here’s a simple rule:
If your product holds pressure, stores gas, or can cause fire/explosion, then you need PESO approval.
Examples:
- LPG cylinders
- Valves and regulators
- Fuel dispensers (petrol pumps)
- Industrial boilers
- Fireworks (yes, even those!)
Even if you're importing pressure equipment (say from China or Germany), PESO clearance is non-negotiable.
Documents Required for PESO Approval India
Now let’s get into the part everyone dreads — documents. Don’t worry, it’s not that bad if you plan it right.
Here’s what you usually need:
- Company PAN, GST, and address proof
- Product drawings (detailed ones, not rough sketches)
- Test reports from NABL-accredited labs
- Quality control certificates
- User manual or technical specs
- Authorization letter
- IEC certificate (if you’re importing)
- Past approvals (if you’re renewing)
And yes, everything should match — one mismatch and your file gets delayed. Happened to us.
Application Process – Step by Step (Simple Language)
Alright, so how do you actually get the PESO certificate?
Step 1: Choose the Right License Type
Are you a manufacturer? Importer? Storage unit? Each one needs a specific form.
Step 2: Prepare All Documents
Double-check everything. Missing one test report = weeks of delay.
Step 3: Submit Application on PESO Portal
The portal is https://online.peso.gov.in. Register, login, and upload your docs.
Step 4: Inspection (If Required)
Some licenses involve a site visit by a PESO officer or third-party agency.
Step 5: Approval & PESO License Download
Once approved, you’ll get a notification. You can then download your PESO license from the portal.
Boom — done.
How to Download PESO License?
Once your application is approved, here’s how to do PESO license download:
- Login to online.peso.gov.in
- Go to “My Applications”
- Click on “Approved Licenses”
- Download the PDF of your PESO certificate
Keep both digital and printed versions ready. Inspections can happen anytime.
Renewal & Validity
Most PESO licenses are valid for 1–5 years, depending on type. Don’t wait till expiry — start your renewal process at least 30 days in advance.
Renewal may require:
- Updated documents
- New inspection (sometimes)
- Fresh fee payment
What If You Skip PESO Certification?
One word: Risk.
No PESO license = you're illegal. And not just small penalty-level illegal. We’re talking:
- Heavy fines
- Product seizure
- Factory shutdown
- Blacklisting for future approvals
So yeah, better to get it done right than face all that.
Final Thoughts (Real Talk)
Look, getting a PESO license can feel technical — and honestly, a bit frustrating at times. But once you’ve done it properly, it builds your credibility.
- Your products are seen as safe
- You’re legally compliant
- And you unlock access to more customers (especially government tenders)
Whether you’re a startup entering the LPG business or a manufacturer exporting cylinders to the Middle East — PESO approval is your entry ticket.
So if you're still thinking, "Should I apply now or wait?" — trust me, get started today.
