Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), a Fortune Global 500 entity and a prominent player in India’s oil and gas sector, has finalized contracts for the establishment of 100 MW wind power facilities—comprising 50 MW each in Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. This move represents a significant advancement in the company’s strategic shift toward renewable energy and reduced dependence on imported fossil fuels.
The Letters of Award have been issued to Suzlon Energy Limited for the Madhya Pradesh project and Integrum Energy Infrastructure Limited for the Maharashtra site. Both projects are slated for completion within a two-year timeframe. The generated wind power will fulfill the captive electricity needs of BPCL’s refineries in Mumbai and Bina, effectively replacing conventional energy sources with renewable alternatives.
This development is aligned with BPCL’s broader renewable energy agenda, which targets a 10 GW capacity by 2040. It also supports the company’s commitment to achieving Net Zero status for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by the same year.
