New Delhi: Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal, has announced 80 per cent concession for women entrepreneurs and 50 per cent for MSMEs in fees for licences granted by the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation (PESO), according to an official statement issued on Thursday.

Accordingly, the Minister has directed PESO to formulate guidelines in consultation with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG) for creating a template of safety measures allowing retail outlets of petrol pumps to function in cases where there is habitation within 30-50 metres. Piyush Goyal also said that QR code for cylinders is incorporated in the draft Gas Cylinders Rules and a final notification will be out soon.

He added that a committee will be formed to study if a licence for explosives, transport and manufacturing can be given for 10 years.
