No Objection Certificate (NOC):

An NOC from the District Magistrate (DM) is required to operate a stand-alone CNG station, LNG station, L-CNG station, or de-compression unit. However, if the CNG installation is within the license area of an existing Oil Marketing Companies (OMC) retail outlet, no separate NOC is needed. If the license area is modified or revised, a new or revised NOC from the District Magistrate will be required for the modified area.
