In a significant move, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) has received board approval for a substantial investment of Rs 5,044 crore to establish a state-of-the-art Polypropylene (PP) unit at Kochi Refinery. The proposed project is poised to add an impressive capacity of 400 Kilo-Tonnes Per Annum (KTPA) of Polypropylene, unfolding over an estimated period of 46 months from the date of investment approval.
