What Are CPCB IV+ DG Sets & Generators?
CPCB IV+ DG sets & generators are diesel generator sets that meet the emission limits notified by India’s environment ministry and enforced by the CPCB. The norms target oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and particulate matter.
In simple terms, a CPCB IV+ set is the current generation of diesel genset. It replaces older CPCB II sets for new supply. Most are built with electronic engine control, and they sit inside an acoustic enclosure.
Buyers and tender writers usually ask for three things:
- The engine and genset should be CPCB IV+ type-approved by a CPCB-authorised agency.
- The enclosure should meet the noise limits under CPCB guidelines.
- The set should be new or in sound condition, with documents available for inspection.
Institutional tenders for rented sets now regularly specify CPCB IV+ compliance. One example is a recent tender for hiring silent DG sets for a zonal office building. If your client, bank or site owner asks for compliance proof, tell us at the enquiry stage. We will confirm what documents can be supplied for the unit offered.
CPCB IV+ DG Sets & Generators and NCR Rules: What to Check Before You Hire
CPCB IV+ certification and permission to run are two different things. In Delhi NCR, the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) regulates how DG sets may be used, and the rules change by GRAP stage.
- At GRAP Stage I, DG sets cannot replace grid power for regular supply, but they may run during grid failure.
- At Stages II to IV, DG use is banned, apart from listed exemptions.
- Sets running purely on LPG or similar gas fuels fall outside these limits.
- CAQM also regulates DG use at times when no GRAP restriction is in force.
So a CPCB IV+ rental is not a blanket exemption. Check the current CAQM direction for your location and use case before you commit. If your plan depends on running a diesel set through a GRAP ban, discuss it with us first. We can also talk through gas-based options.
CPCB IV+ DG Sets & Generators on Rent: Capacity Range and Selection Bands
Vardhman’s stated range is 58 kVA to 2,000 kVA. Units are sourced from OEMs including Cummins, Kirloskar, Mahindra Powerol, Jakson, Ashok Leyland and Caterpillar. Not every brand or capacity is available at every time or location, so confirm the exact model when you enquire.
| Capacity band |
Common configurations referenced |
Typical fit |
| Mid-range |
125 kVA, 160 kVA |
Offices, clinics, retail, small units, events |
| Commercial and light industrial |
400 kVA, 500 kVA |
Larger facilities, hotels, warehouses, medium plants |
| Industrial |
750 kVA to 2,000 kVA (including 1,250, 1,500 and 1,750 kVA) |
Heavy industry, large construction, data and process loads |
Two points on units. Capacity here is in kVA, which is not the same as kW. A 2,000 kVA figure is not a 2,000 kW figure. Always compare your load in the same unit as the quotation.
Applications of CPCB IV+ DG Sets & Generators by Industry
- Construction and infrastructure. Sites often need power before the grid connection arrives. A rented set covers cranes, batching plants and site offices for the project period.
- Manufacturing and process plants. Rentals cover planned shutdowns, grid outages and capacity peaks without a capital purchase.
- Commercial buildings and offices. Landlords and tenants use rented sets for fit-outs, interim backup or tender-linked requirements.
- Healthcare and education. These sites need dependable standby. They also tend to ask for compliance papers, so raise this early.
- Events, exhibitions and film shoots. Short-term power with low noise matters here. Ask about the acoustic enclosure on the unit offered.
- Data, telecom and IT loads. Continuity is the priority. Discuss ATS/AMF panel needs at the quotation stage.
How to Select CPCB IV+ DG Sets & Generators for Your Site
- Calculate your load. Add up running loads and note the largest motor starting load. Size the set with headroom rather than at the limit.
- Choose the kVA band. Match your load to the capacity bands above. Our team can help if you are between two sizes.
- Check the compliance paperwork. Ask what type-approval and conformity documents come with the unit.
- Review site access and placement. Check road access, crane need, ventilation, exhaust direction and distance from neighbours.
- Decide the run pattern. Standby, prime and continuous duty affect the engine rating you need.
- Plan fuel and operation. Decide who supplies diesel and who operates the set.
- Confirm the legal position. In NCR, check current CAQM and GRAP rules for your use case.
