Liquid terminal
Wikipedia describes a liquid terminal of 97 tanks holding 425,000 kilolitres for crude oil, chemicals and edible oils.
Mundra is a multipurpose private port and Special Economic Zone on the Gulf of Kutch in Gujarat, operated by Adani Ports and SEZ. Its liquid terminal and LNG import terminal create hazardous areas around tanks, jetties and regasification plant. An IECEx smartphone distributor in Mundra, Gujarat would carry the IS-04Z1 to these buyers once certification completes.
Pre-launch · certification in progress · Launching Q4 2026
Short answer. Mundra, Gujarat has no appointed SAMS distributor yet: the IS-04Z1 is pre-launch (certification in progress, no certificate issued, launch planned for Q4 2026), and distributor applications are open.
Where things stand: the IS-04Z1 has not launched, and none of its four certification routes has produced a certificate yet. An operator's own vendor approval is a separate step. Certification status. Place facts reviewed October 2026.

The Mundra LNG terminal is run by GSPC LNG Limited, a joint venture of GSPC and Adani Enterprises, with a first-phase capacity of 5 million tonnes a year completed in October 2018.
Mundra is India's largest commercial and container port, handling over 155 million tonnes a year, about 11 percent of India's maritime cargo and nearly a third of its container traffic.
The Gulf of Kutch coast to the west, such as at Kandla, is hot and dry, with April and May maxima around 40 degrees Celsius and low rainfall.
The port is designed for containers, dry bulk, break bulk, liquid cargo and automobiles, so a wide mix of hazards exists across terminals.
Agreements signed in 2002 and later cover crude oil handling for refinery customers, and a single-point mooring became operational in late 2005.
IECEx is the international scheme for certifying equipment used in explosive atmospheres. A certificate of conformity is issued by an accredited certification body against a specific edition of the IEC 60079 standards and carries a schedule of conditions of safe use. It is not a legal requirement in most countries on its own, but many national schemes accept it as the technical basis.
The IECEx certificate for the IS-04Z1 is in progress and has not been issued. The marking target is Ex ib IIC T4, the intrinsic safety concept for Zone 1 gas with the hardest gas group (IIC) and a 135 °C temperature class.
In Mundra, Gujarat. Mundra's liquid terminal and LNG terminal are served by international ship crews, surveyors and contractors. IECEx evidence, a certificate of conformity with its schedule of conditions, is a reference many of them know. SAMS is pursuing IECEx for the IS-04Z1, and nothing has been issued.
A distributor for Mundra, Gujarat would carry the IS-04Z1 after certification completes; the Q4 2026 launch is the planning date and no appointment has been made. SAMS reviews applicants one by one and prefers companies with their own Ex-competent technical and service staff, since certified devices must not be repaired outside approved channels.
Not yet. The IS-04Z1 is pre-launch and its certification is still in progress ahead of a Q4 2026 launch. No unit goes into a classified area before the certificate covering it exists. The datasheet, the certification schedule and safe-area evaluation units are available now.
No price is published. While certification is in progress there is no list price and no committed lead time, and a supplier quoting a firm figure for an uncertified Ex handset is promising something it cannot stand behind. Indicative pre-launch pricing is issued in writing against a stated quantity and site.
No. The IECEx certificate is in progress and has not been issued. SAMS will publish the number when it exists.

Mundra handles containers, bulk and liquid cargo and has a private rail link. Agree customs clearance and last-mile delivery with your forwarder and the operator.
Liquid cargo berths, tank farms, crude oil mooring facilities and chemical handling areas have classified zones. The terminal operators define them, so request the area classification and accepted approvals before taking devices.
Not necessarily. The port operator, the LNG terminal and the tank terminal tenants are separate organisations with their own classification and permits. Confirm requirements with each operator before a device is taken into its area.
