CNG pumps check for expired cylinder certificates automatically now: IGL has started using cameras to match vehicle number plates with hydro test records before refuelling

Delhi's gas distributor Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) has begun checking vehicles at the pump before they refuel. Cameras placed at station entry points now read incoming number plates, and this data is matched against CNG cylinder hydro-test certification records to catch vehicles running on expired or invalid cylinders, acccording to news agency ANI.

The automated system has been deployed across ten retail outlets so far, as part of an ongoing enforcement drive to strengthen on board CNG cylinder safety. The gas distributor said the system links vehicle registration details with cylinder certification stored on the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation (PESO) online portal, allowing it to spot mismatches instantly.
