LNG terminal
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 a multipurpose private port and Special Economic Zone on the Gulf of Kutch in Gujarat, operated by Adani Ports and SEZ. 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. An industrial mobile phone 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. Operator approval runs on its own timeline. Certification status. Place facts reviewed October 2026.
| Check | What to look for | IS-04Z1 today |
|---|---|---|
| Ingress protection | IP rating for dust and water | IP68 design |
| Fleet management | EMM and MDM support | Android 16 with EMM and MDM |
| Explosion protection | A separate certificate and marking | In progress; not issued |

An intrinsically safe Android smartphone designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21 hazardous areas in Mundra India. It is pre-launch: IECEx, ATEX and NEC 500 certification is in progress ahead of the Q4 2026 launch.

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 a multi-product port-based SEZ with rail, highway and pipeline links, so several industrial operators share the area.
Mundra is India's first multi-product port-based special economic zone, with a notified area of 6,473 hectares and a planned area of 135 square kilometres.
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.
“Industrial” describes a phone built for plant conditions: sealed, drop-resistant and manageable at fleet scale through Android Enterprise. It does not by itself mean the phone may enter a classified area. Only a device with a valid explosion-protection certificate and marking may do that.
The IS-04Z1 is designed to be both an industrial Android phone (IP68, 4,000 mAh battery, 50 MP camera, Android 16 with EMM and MDM support) and an intrinsically safe one. Its explosion-protection certificates are in progress and have not been issued.
In Mundra, Gujarat. A multi-operator port zone means separate organisations manage separate fleets, and shipping agents, surveyors and contractors visit often. MDM or EMM enrolment, which the IS-04Z1 supports, helps each keep control. Charging should be in safe areas such as offices and control rooms, not at jetties.
SAMS is appointing authorised distributors ahead of the Q4 2026 launch. No territory has been granted for Mundra, Gujarat yet and applications are reviewed company by company. Because a certified Ex device cannot be opened by an ordinary phone workshop without invalidating its certificate, SAMS looks for partners who can provide competent technical support and after-sales service locally.
No. Nothing can be bought or taken into a classified area today: certification is in progress and launch is planned for Q4 2026. What is available now is the datasheet, the written certification schedule and evaluation units for safe-area use.
SAMS has not published a price. Any figure you are offered for an uncertified Ex phone should be treated with caution; written indicative pricing is available for a defined quantity and site.
Yes by design: IP68 sealing, a 4,000 mAh battery, a 50 MP camera and Android 16 with EMM and MDM support. The explosion-protection certificates are separate and still in progress.
Likely candidates are liquid chemical and oil tank terminal, lng regasification terminal, tanker jetties, pipeline terminals. Which areas are classified, and to what zone, is set by the site operator's own area classification drawings.
Apply through the distributor page with your company details and the territory you cover. SAMS reviews applications company by company and has not yet granted a territory for Mundra, Gujarat.
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.
