In an interview with Saurav Anand, BPCL Chairman and Managing Director Sanjay Khanna outlines its larger investment road map and clean energy strategy. Excerpts:
What is BPCL’s immediate investment priority in the gas segment?
We are investing ₹25,000 crore over the next five years in our CGD business across 26 geographical areas. Gas is a key transition fuel and demand is rising across households, transport & industry. Strengthening distribution infrastructure is critical for long-term growth.
