Bharat Petroleum has been recognized by the India Today Group as the BEST PERFORMING PSU among the Navratnas that have powered the Nation’s growth. One of the most prestigious awards, this award attains utmost relevance as it is the culmination of a Nation-wide study on the country’s best performing Public Sector Undertakings, who are contributing the most towards Nation building. Most befittingly, BPCL has been adjudged the winner for the consistent performance during the last three years.
On behalf of BPCL, Mr. K. K.

In the first ever comprehensive survey of Indian Public Sector Undertakings, published recently, India Today evaluated the PSUs across four segments - Maharatna, Navratna, Miniratna and other PSUs - under eight categories. The survey offers a rare insight into the functioning of Indian PSUs and its contribution towards our Nation. Bharat Petroleum was adjudged as the Best Performing PSU among the Navratnas in these categories that were established considering various core dimensions of growth, strategy, performance and competitiveness of a PSU.
The award is in close succession to other accolades that Bharat Petroleum was recently decorated with, like the “Star PSU Award”, the “PSE Excellence Award” in the Maharatna and Navratna category and the “World Petroleum Council Award for Excellence in CSR”, to name a few.
In his congratulatory note to BPCL employees, Director (Marketing) expressed that each award propels BPCL to perform stronger, better and also raise the bar of excellence to the next level and that, “this achievement was made possible only through the stupendous efforts and team spirit in achieving not only the goals of the organisation but also the vision co-created by all of us to energise a billion lives in more ways than one.”
