This process includes assessing infrastructure readiness, safety measures, and compliance with regulations. The legal basis for this permit includes the Petroleum Act, 2016, the Gas Distribution Rules, 2014, and specific provisions in the Gas Marketing Regulation 2014 (Paragraphs 3.1.1 & 3.1.2). These regulations ensure safe and compliant industrial gas usage, fostering productivity and economic growth within established legal frameworks.
