Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) has announced that the company has signed three Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with Oil India (OIL), Numaligarh Refinery (NRL) and Fertilisers and Chemicals Travancore (FACT).

These partnerships mark significant milestones in BPCL's integrated growth strategy-spanning refining, petrochemicals, green energy, and logistics infrastructure-and reaffirm its commitment to building a sustainable and self-reliant energy future for India, the company said in a statement.

Furthering its green energy and waste-to-energy initiatives, BPCL signed an MoU with FACT for the supply and trading of Fermented Organic Manure (FOM) and Liquid Fermented Organic Manure (LFOM) produced from BPCL's upcoming Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)-based Compressed Biogas (CBG) Plant at Brahmapuram, near Kochi Refinery.

The plant will process 150 MT of municipal waste per day, generating 5.6 MT of CBG, along with 28 MT of FOM and 100 KL of LFOM daily.
The MoU was exchanged between Manoj Menon, Business Head (I&C), BPCL, and S. Sakthimani, Director (Finance), FACT, in the presence of Sanjay Khanna, Director (Refineries) and CMD (Addl. Charge), BPCL, and Pankaj Jain, Secretary, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG).

This collaboration will enable FACT to trade high-quality organic fertilizers, supporting sustainable agriculture while contributing to India's waste-to-energy and green fuel vision.

“This collaboration underscores the shared commitment of India's leading energy PSUs to strengthen energy infrastructure, streamline logistics, and ensure reliable fuel supply across the eastern and northern regions,” the company said.

BPCL and OIL signed a non-binding MoU to explore collaboration in developing BPCL's upcoming Greenfield Refinery and Petrochemical Complex near Ramayapatnam Port in Nellore district, Andhra Pradesh.

In another major development, BPCL, OIL, and Numaligarh Refinery (NRL) signed a tripartite MoU to facilitate efficient evacuation of petroleum products following NRL's expansion from 3 MMTPA to 9 ΜΜΤΡΑ.

Collectively, these three MoUs highlight BPCL's holistic approach to expanding refining capacity, advancing petrochemical integration, accelerating green energy initiatives, and building robust logistics networks, it said.
