Hon’ble Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas of India, Shri. Hardeep Singh Puri, Launches EPA-Grade Diesel at India Energy Week

08 Feb 2024 | BPCL

We are pleased to announce the launch of two of our iconic initiatives - "Pure for Sure" in Bharatgas cylinder delivery & EPA–Grade Diesel for engines manufactured for the US Market, by Hon’ble Minister of Petroleum & Natural Gas and Housing & Urban Affairs at IEW’24 in Goa.

Pure for Sure in Bharatgas: Revolutionizing last-mile delivery, this initiative sets a new standard in customer satisfaction. Our innovative tamper-proof seal, embedded with a QR code, ensures the integrity of each cylinder from the production plant to the customer's possession. With a simple scan, customers can authenticate their cylinder, ensuring transparency and trust every step of the way.

EPA-Grade Diesel: Witness the dawn of a new era in the energy landscape, which is used in engines manufactured for the US export market, as the Code of Federal Regulations stipulates engine development, calibration, and testing with EPA Grade reference fuel only.

BPCL's Kochi Refinery proudly produces EPA-Grade Diesel, eliminating imports from Germany and showcasing India's robust refining capabilities. This not only reduces costs and lead times for OEMs but also strengthens our nation's self-reliance in meeting global standards.

This indigenous production of EPA Grade Diesel not only reduces time and costs for OEMs in engine development but also ensures timely fulfillment of overseas operations, thereby curbing FOREX outflow.

The Hon’ble Minister appreciated both of BPCL's initiatives, recognizing their significance for consumers and their contribution to national importance, thereby strengthening the spirit of Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
