Bharat Petroleum Corp is going to shut a 120,000 barrels per day (bpd) crude oil processing unit for maintenance for about a month from around the end of February or early March.

According to R Ramachandran, the company is also going to shut a hydrocracker and some other secondary units at its 240, 000-bpd refinery for planned maintenance.

He has said that BPCL is going to increase processing at the other crude and secondary units to compensate for the shutdown.

He said “We will meet our export commitments and local supplies will not be hit due to the planned shutdown. We have made prior arrangements.”
