Dear Mr. Amish, you need to construct a godown as per the guidelines of the Gas Cylinder Rules 2004 if you intend to store gas more than 100 kg on any premises.

Steps to Obtain a License for Storing Gas Cylinders

1. You need to apply for the godown to PESO (Petroleum & Explosives Safety Organisation).
2. Construct the godown after receiving approval.
3. Apply for a license to store the gas in the constructed godown.
4. If the drawing and godown meet the requirements of PESO, PESO will grant the license and endorse the same after a site visit.
5. Once you receive the license, you can store the gas within the licensed capacity only.

Hello everyone, can anyone kindly help me with information about the complete procedure? I have been recently allotted a gas agency with 12,000 kg of LPG-filled cylinders. I request everyone to provide information about the procedure on how to apply to PESO for a godown license and approval.

Thanks,
