Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Retrofit Emission Control Device (RECD)?
A Retrofit Emission Control Device (RECD) is an advanced pollution control technology installed on existing Diesel Generators (DG sets) to reduce harmful emissions such as Particulate Matter (PM 2.5), Carbon Monoxide (CO), and Hydrocarbons (HC).
Why do I need to install an RECD on my Diesel Generator?
As per the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) mandate, all DG sets in Delhi-NCR and other non-attainment cities must be retrofitted with RECDs to comply with emission norms. Without retrofitting, DG sets may face sealing, penalties, or operational bans.
How much pollution reduction does Chakr Shield provide?
Chakr Shield reduces up to 90% of particulate emissions from DG sets, ensuring compliance with CPCB and CAQM norms while improving air quality.
What makes Chakr Shield different from other devices?
- India’s first type-approved RECD
- Catalyst-based technology (not traditional DPF)
- Fuel-agnostic and modular design
Smart IoT diagnostics with real-time cloud notifications - Proven performance across Fortune 500 companies, Indian Armed Forces and Government organisations and Institutes.
Is RECD installation mandatory?
Yes. CPCB and State Pollution Control Boards have made RECD installation mandatory for DG sets (up to 800 kVA and above) in Delhi-NCR and other highly polluted regions under the NCAP (National Clean Air Programme). For more details click regulations
What are the benefits for my business?
- Compliance with government regulations
- Uninterrupted operations (DGs won’t be sealed during GRAP – only for Delhi/NCR)
- CSR & ESG alignment (supports sustainability and Net Zero goals)
- Cleaner workplace & community air quality
Which DG sets are compatible with Chakr Shield?
Chakr Shield is compatible with a wide range of DG sets, across kVA industries, commercial complexes, residential societies, and institutional campuses.
Does RECD affect the DG’s fuel efficiency or performance?
No, the RECD does not affect the DG’s fuel efficiency or performance. Chakr Shield’s technology is engineered to maintain generator efficiency without increasing fuel consumption or causing back pressure.
How long does installation take?
Installation is quick and seamless – typically 2-3 days depending on the capacity of DG size and site condition.
Does Chakr provide after-sales support?
Yes. We offer Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC), remote monitoring, and dedicated technical support to ensure continuous compliance and smooth operation.
What happens if I don’t install an RECD?
By installing Chakr Shield, you ensure compliance with clean air regulations while contributing to a healthier environment and seamless business operations.
