New Delhi: Technip Energies (PARIS: TE) has won two significant contracts from Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) for strategic refinery expansion projects at Bina in Madhya Pradesh and Mumbai in Maharashtra. The projects mark a substantial boost to India’s downstream energy and petrochemical infrastructure.
EPCC Contract for Bina Refinery Petrochemical Units
The first contract involves the Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Commissioning (EPCC) of new polypropylene and Butene-1 units at BPCL’s Bina refinery. Once operational, these units are expected to produce 550 KTPA of polypropylene and 50 KTPA of Butene-1. These materials are crucial for industries such as packaging, pipes, and automotive components.
The project is part of BPCL’s larger Bina Petchem and Refinery Expansion initiative, which includes capacity augmentation and the development of a new petrochemical cracker complex, reinforcing the refinery’s capabilities to meet the growing domestic and international demand for petrochemical products.
