PESO is not a logo. It is the day of the shot.

What Indian explosives regulation actually governs on a live-plant felling — magazine, transport, charging, firing, record.

PESO compliance is often printed in a footer. On a live plant it is the chain: who holds the magazine, who moves the explosive, who charges, who fires, who signs the record.

EXIQUDE does not freelance shots. Charging, storage, transport and firing follow Indian explosives regulations. Designs are signed by mining engineers. Vibration and air-blast are recorded and handed to the owner, the insurer and the authority.

If a tender asks ‘PESO compliant’ and the bidder answers with a sentence, ask for the magazine arrangement and the licensed personnel on the site crew. That is the test.

Hybrid work — robots, diamond wire, non-explosive breaking — is what we do when the vibration budget forbids a shot. PESO does not apply to a wire. The engineering still does.
