14 Oct 2016 Evaluate

Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL), one of the leading oil & gas companies in India, plans to spend $6.75 billion through 2022 to raise refining capacity by 62% in order to meet rising fuel demand in the world’s fastest growing major economy. The company aims to lift its crude processing capacity to 1.18 million barrels per day (bpd) by 2022 from the current 730,000 bpd.

About half of the planned refinery expansion spending will be used to raise the capacity of the Bina plant in central India to 320,000 bpd from 120,000 bpd. The company which operates Bina in a tie-up with Oman Oil Company will initially expand the capacity to 156,000 bpd by mid-2018. The refiner intends to spend about 100 billion rupees to expand its coastal plants at Kochi in southern India and Mumbai in the west. The company is currently raising the capacity of its Kochi plant by 63% to 310,000 bpd and plans to expand the plant to 400,000 bpd by 2022.

Besides, the company intends to triple the capacity at its Numaligarh plant in northeastern Assam state from 60,000 bpd currently. The company would invest about 150 billion rupees.
