Understanding IRC Guidelines for Highway Access

FUEL STATION ACCESS PERMISSION

We help fuel retail companies, contractors, and consultants secure official entry and exit access permissions from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). Whether you’re setting up a new retail outlet or regularizing an existing one, our team ensures your project meets every technical, safety, and regulatory requirement.

Our services streamline the entire application process β€” from documentation to NHAI submission β€” ensuring your outlet becomes fully compliant and operational on schedule.

Key Highlights:

  • End-to-end coordination with NHAI and regional project offices

  • Compliance with Right of Way (ROW) and Access Control Guidelines

  • Layout design checks as per IRC:12 and MoRTH standards

  • Efficient documentation and follow-ups for timely approvals

WHAT IS FUEL STATION ACCESS PERMISSION?

Before a fuel retail outlet (FRO) can be commissioned along a National Highway, NHAI approval is mandatory for access (entry and exit) to ensure smooth traffic movement and safety. Each access point must be designed and located in line with NHAI circulars and IRC guidelines.

Our experts interpret these complex regulations to help oil companies, engineering consultants, and independent entrepreneurs obtain access approval without delay or rejection.

We work with:

  • IOCL, HPCL, BPCL, Jio-BP, and Nayara Energy

  • Private investors developing highway retail outlets

  • Engineering consultants and contractors involved in FRO design
