DGMS, PESO and mine opening readiness.
Mine opening, safety approvals and explosive magazine licences are the last-mile gates to first production. We sequence them alongside other approvals so they do not become the final bottleneck.
The last-mile risk
Many greenfield projects clear EC, FC, lease and land — only to get held up on DGMS approvals, PESO licences or mine opening permissions. These are often started too late, after other approvals are already in hand. By then the project has already lost months.
GreenPath treats DGMS, PESO and mine opening readiness as a parallel workstream, sequenced from early in the project so that first-blast and mobilisation are not the final delay.
What we coordinate
- DGMS — mine opening permission, safety management plan, mining equipment approvals, statutory appointments.
- PESO — explosive magazine licence, petroleum storage licence.
- District Magistrate — explosives storage NOC.
- Pre-blast and pre-commissioning readiness coordination with contractors.
- Safety systems, first-aid, training and inspection readiness.
- Integration with project commissioning schedule.
Who this is for
Greenfield coal block developers, limestone and iron ore projects, and any greenfield mining project approaching first-blast and mobilisation.
Common bottlenecks
- Magazine site selection and NOC issues.
- Safety appointments and statutory positions not in place.
- Equipment approvals not aligned with contractor mobilisation.
- Mine opening inspection scheduling delays.

Frequently asked questions.
Early — typically alongside the mining plan and clearance work, not after them. Starting late is the most common cause of last-mile delays at commissioning.
No. DGMS approvals are granted by the competent authority. GreenPath helps project owners prepare, sequence and coordinate the process.
Yes — including District Magistrate NOC and PESO licence sequencing aligned to first-blast dates.
