BPCL ties Rs 31,802 cr funds for Bina refinery expansion, petchem project

State-owned Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) on Friday said it has achieved financial closure for its Bina refinery expansion cum petrochemical project with the signing of a loan agreement of Rs 31,802 crore with a consortium of six lenders led by the State Bank of India. The project, estimated to cost Rs 48,926 crore, aims to set up a petrochemical complex comprising a 1.2 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) ethylene cracker unit and increase the refinery's capacity from 7.8 MTPA to 11 million tonnes. "This expansion will enable BPCL to produce downstream petrochemical products such as Linear Low-density Polyethylene (LLDPE), High-density Polyethylene (HDPE), Polypropylene (PP) and other aromatics, thereby reducing India's dependence on imports," the company said in a statement. The expansion project aims to cater to the projected rising demand for fuel in central and northern India in the near future. The project construction is expected to be completed within 48 months from t

Govt plans to give LPG subsidy worth Rs 35,000 cr to IOC, BPCL, and HPCL

The government is likely to provide a subsidy of Rs 35,000 crore to state-owned Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL), and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) to make up for losses they incurred on selling the fuel this fiscal, sources said. The three fuel retailers have kept the price of domestic LPG unchanged at Rs 803 per 14.2-kg cylinder since March 2024 despite a rise in input raw material cost. This led to under-recoveries on LPG sales, and the resultant drastic fall in their earnings in the April-September (first half of current 2024-25 fiscal year). The total under-recovery on LPG sales for the industry in the current fiscal is estimated at about Rs 40,500 crore. Against this, the government is likely to provide Rs 35,000 crore in total spread over two financial years, two sources with knowledge of the matter said. IOC, BPCL and HPCL are likely to get Rs 10,000 crore during the current 2024-25 fiscal and the remaining Rs 25,000 cror
