Petrol Pump Canopy, Pylon
& Forecourt Signage

Under the public sector oil companies’ Marketing Discipline Guidelines 2024, a retail outlet displays authorised selling prices and opening stock, product density, daily stock and a price board, a zero-before-delivery message on each dispenser, the product name on each nozzle, working hours, complaint book availability, and the dealer’s and oil company officials’ names and phone numbers for complaints. Missing displays are listed irregularities.

The Petroleum Rules, 2002 prohibit smoking and any fire or light that could ignite vapour in a service station except where authorised (Rules 11 and 117). Rule 133 requires the licence number to be prominently marked, and Rule 134 requires an extract of specified rules and the licence conditions to be exhibited in a conspicuous place. The oil company’s own specification adds its standard safety boards.

The CNG dispensing licence conditions under the Gas Cylinders Rules, 2016 (Form G) require warning signs reading Stop Vehicle, No Smoking, No Open Flame Permitted and Flammable Gas at the dispensing and compressor areas, a ban on smoking, naked lights and mobile phones inside the premises, and emergency numbers for the fire service, police and the marketing company displayed conspicuously.

The Ministry of Power’s EV charging guidelines of 17 September 2024 require public stations to display charging rates per unit and service charges (clause 10(3)) and their location, charger types, number of available chargers and rates (clause 12(2)(ii)). The checklist adds pictorial instructions in English, Hindi and the local language, charger specifications, customer care, 112 and 1091 numbers, and clearly marked charging bays.

PPAC’s state-wise data shows 1,03,023 fuel retail outlets across India on 1 April 2026, including private companies, up from 96,724 a year earlier; Maharashtra had 9,354. PNGRB reports 9,053 CNG stations on 31 July 2026, and PIB reported 29,151 public EV charging stations installed in February 2026.

The canopy is the roof over the dispensing area; its fascia is the brand band around the edge. It is usually aluminium composite panel on a steel frame with a lit brand band or lettering. Dimensions and colours come from the oil company’s outlet specification. IBS builds to that specification with weather-rated ACP and sealed LED modules rated IP65 or better.

Yes. BMC’s Policy Guidelines for Display of Outdoor Advertisements 2025 name petrol pumps among business premises where glow signs, illuminated name boards, backlit and digital displays need written permission (clause 2.1(a)). Boards must not project beyond the building line, and a structure over 300 sq ft needs a structural stability report from a BMC-registered engineer.

Work is phased lane by lane, so at least one side of the forecourt keeps dispensing while the other is fenced off. Canopy fascia panels and pylon faces are pre-assembled at the Mumbai facility to cut time on site, and lit elements are commissioned at night so the outlet trades normally during the day.

A forecourt is a flammable vapour area. IBS agrees a work permit and method with the dealer and the oil company before starting, uses no hot work or open flame on the forecourt, keeps electrical work with its own electricians to the oil company’s specification, and barricades the working lane from vehicles and customers.

Canopy fascia and cladding, price and brand pylon, entry and exit signs, dispenser graphics where the specification includes them, sales building fascia and room branding, the statutory display boards for prices, stock and complaint contacts, toilet signage with the feedback QR code, and CNG or EV bay signage where the outlet offers them.

Yes. The 2024 guidelines ask oil companies with charging facilities to advertise them on their signage and recommend directional signs on nearby roads. IBS adds charging bay marking, the tariff and service charge board, charger instruction panels in three languages and pylon or canopy panels announcing the charger.

IBS’s named client work on this site is in airports, banking, insurance, retail and corporate offices, including branch signage and in-branch branding for IDFC FIRST Bank across India. It does not name a fuel retail client here. What it brings is the same rollout method: survey, approved kit, central production, IBS installation crews and as-installed photographs for every site.

It depends on the specification, the outlet size and access, so IBS schedules it per outlet after survey rather than quoting a single figure. Pre-assembling canopy panels and pylon faces at the factory is what keeps site time short, and the programme is planned so each outlet keeps selling fuel throughout.

IBS can quote against the company’s outlet specification for a dealer, a private retailer or a charging operator, with line-item BOQs per outlet type and GST-compliant invoicing. For a network programme it supplies the survey, kit, installation schedule and as-installed photographs that a retail network team needs to sign off each outlet.

Signage workmanship is warranted for 12 to 24 months depending on the product, with manufacturer warranty passed through on named LED modules and power supplies. Electrical test records and the warranty certificate are handed over per outlet, and a named IBS contact holds the drawings and spares.
