Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), a Fortune Global 500 company and a Maharatna PSU, marked a significant milestone in its energy transition journey with the inauguration of its solar power plant at Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh.

The project was virtually inaugurated by Hardeep Singh Puri, Hon’ble Union Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas, during India Energy Week, underscoring BPCL’s growing focus on expanding its renewable energy footprint and supporting India’s clean energy ambitions.

The solar power plant has an installed capacity of 71 MWp (DC) / 52 MW (AC) and is expected to generate approximately 103.61 million units of green electricity annually. The project is estimated to reduce carbon emissions by 75,150 metric tonnes each year, equivalent to the environmental benefit of planting nearly 12.5 million trees.
