Technip Energies Secures Two Major BPCL Contracts for New Processing Units at Bina and Mumbai Refineries

Technip Energies has secured two major contracts from Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), marking another significant milestone in the long-standing partnership between the two companies and underscoring Technip Energies’ strong role in India’s downstream and petrochemical expansion. The contracts relate to strategic projects at BPCL’s Bina refinery in Madhya Pradesh and its Mumbai refinery in Maharashtra, both of which are central to BPCL’s plans to enhance refining capacity, improve product value, and expand its petrochemical footprint.

The first contract awarded to Technip Energies involves full Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Commissioning (EPCC) services for the development of new polypropylene and Butene-1 units at the Bina refinery. Once completed, these facilities will have the capacity to produce approximately 550 thousand tonnes per annum (KTPA) of polypropylene and 50 KTPA of Butene-1. These outputs are critical feedstocks for a wide range of everyday and industrial products, including flexible and rigid packaging, piping systems, automotive components, consumer goods, and various industrial applications. By adding these units, BPCL aims to strengthen its position in the petrochemicals segment while increasing integration between refining and downstream chemical production.

This EPCC contract forms a key part of BPCL’s broader Bina Petrochemicals and Refinery Expansion Project. The wider program not only includes an increase in overall refining capacity but also the construction of a new cracker and multiple downstream petrochemical units. Together, these investments are designed to enhance value creation from crude oil processing, reduce reliance on imported petrochemical products, and support India’s growing domestic demand driven by manufacturing, infrastructure development, and consumer markets.

The second contract awarded to Technip Energies covers Engineering, Procurement, and Construction management (EPsCm) services for a 3 million tonnes per annum (MMTPA) Petro Resid Fluidized Catalytic Cracker Unit (PRFCC) at BPCL’s Mumbai refinery. Notably, this facility will be India’s first PRFCC unit, representing a significant technological advancement for the country’s refining sector. The PRFCC unit is designed to process heavy refinery residues and convert them into lighter, higher-value products, thereby improving overall refinery efficiency and profitability. In addition to the main unit, the scope of work also includes several auxiliary units as well as associated offsite facilities and utilities required to support safe and efficient operations.

These contract awards further strengthen a collaboration between Technip Energies and BPCL that spans more than two decades. Over this period, Technip Energies has supported BPCL on multiple complex projects, contributing advanced engineering expertise, project execution capabilities, and global best practices. The company’s deep-rooted presence in India-with offices in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Ahmedabad, and Dahej, and over 50 years of operational experience—positions it well to deliver large- scale, technically challenging energy projects while leveraging local talent and supply chains.

Commenting on the awards, Davendra Kumar, Managing Director of Technip Energies India, expressed appreciation for BPCL’s continued trust. He highlighted that the contracts reflect confidence in Technip Energies’ engineering strengths and its proven ability to execute complex projects efficiently. He also emphasized that the company is proud to contribute to the modernization of India’s energy infrastructure and to support the country’s broader economic growth and industrial development objectives.
