Bharat Petroleum
India is the third largest consumer of crude oil after the US and China and imports around 84% of its total requirement of crude oil. Thus, the Indian socio-economic landscape is significantly impacted by the movements in international oil prices and exchange rates. With India’s projected economic growth continues to be high, in the next few years, increasing urbanization and improvement in standards of living, the demand for energy is expected to rise significantly. Bharat Petroleum is well positioned and has ambitious plans to enhance its share in the growing energy market and pursue expansion and diversification for value creation.
I am happy to share with you that BPCL has been ranked 275th in the Fortune Global 500 list of 2019, up from 314 in 2018. Earlier this year in January 2019, Hon’ble Prime Minister of India dedicated the expanded and modernized Kochi Refinery to the nation. With installed capacity of 15.5 MMTPA, Kochi Refinery is now the largest Public Sector Refinery in the country, exceeding its design capacity in the first full year of operation itself.

Oil & Gas Future in India
The oil and gas sector is poised for definitive transformation in response to significant technological developments, changes in the energy mix towards a low carbon future and demand-supply rebalancing. This comes with its fair share of opportunities and challenges.
The demand for energy will increase against the backdrop of high economic activity, particularly in emerging economies, with fossil fuels meeting most of the requirement. Though there is a significant proliferation of renewable energy and natural gas, oil and coal are expected to continue as major components of the energy basket in the foreseeable future.
