# Govt expands fuel dispenser checks to cover hydrogen, clean fuels 2026-08-08T00:04:15+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The consumer affairs ministry amended the Legal Metrology (Government Approved Test Centre) Rules, 2013, bringing hydrogen, LPG, LNG and CNG dispensers under the verification net. The number of verifiable instrument categories has risen from 18 to 23. Verification fees are Rs 5,000 per nozzle for petrol and diesel and Rs 10,000 per nozzle for cleaner fuels. Government Approved Test Centres (GATCs) are private facilities licensed to verify weights and measures, augmenting state resources. The ministry says the reforms will improve service availability, support cleaner fuel adoption, and let state legal metrology departments focus on inspection and consumer redressal. State governments can now add more instrument categories as needed. ## Coverage - millenniumpost.in Tags: clean fuels, CNG, fuel dispenser verification, hydrogen, legal metrology, LPG Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/govt-expands-fuel-dispenser-checks-to-cover-hydrogen-clean-fuels/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
