CNG Safety Crackdown: IGL Makes Valid Hydro-Test Certificate Mandatory For Refuelling

Indraprastha Gas Ltd has stepped up safety checks at its CNG stations, making a valid hydro-test certificate essential for vehicles seeking to refuel.

Under Rule 35(1) of the Gas Cylinders (Amendment) Rules, 2025, every CNG cylinder must undergo hydrostatic testing once every three years at a PESO-authorised cylinder testing centre.

As part of its special safety drive, IGL station personnel are now verifying the validity of hydro-test certificates before dispensing CNG. Vehicles without a valid certificate will not be allowed to refuel.
