Technip Energies secures key engineering mandates in BPCL’s refinery upgrade plans

Davendra Kumar outlines the scope and significance of new contracts at the Bina and Mumbai refineries in India

India’s downstream energy infrastructure is entering a phase of higher complexity and scale, and Technip Energies has strengthened its role in this transition through two major contracts awarded by Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited. The mandates cover key expansion and upgrade projects at BPCL’s Bina refinery in Madhya Pradesh and Mumbai refinery in Maharashtra.
At the Bina refinery, Technip Energies has been entrusted with Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning services for new polypropylene and Butene-1 units. These units will add production capacity of 550 kilotons per annum of polypropylene and 50 kilotons per annum of Butene-1, both critical inputs for downstream industries such as packaging, piping, and automotive manufacturing. The project forms part of BPCL’s larger Bina Petrochemical and Refinery Expansion initiative, which includes increasing refining capacity alongside the development of new petrochemical infrastructure.

The second contract relates to BPCL’s Mumbai refinery, where Technip Energies will provide Engineering, Procurement and Construction management services for a 3 million metric tons per annum Petro Resid Fluidized Catalytic Cracker unit. This facility will be India’s first PRFCC unit, designed to convert heavy refinery residues into lighter, higher-value products. The scope also includes associated auxiliary units, offsites, and utilities, reflecting the technical depth and integration required for residue upgradation projects.
Together, the two contracts represent a large award for Technip Energies, with combined revenue estimated between €250 million and €500 million. The projects were recorded in the company’s Project Delivery and Technology, Products and Services segments during the fourth quarter of 2025.

Commenting on the awards, Davendra Kumar, Managing Director of Technip Energies India, said the projects reflect BPCL’s confidence in the company’s engineering capabilities and execution strength. He noted that supporting development plans at both the Bina and Mumbai sites aligns with Technip Energies’ long-standing commitment to India’s energy infrastructure and industrial growth.
The contracts also reinforce a collaboration that spans more than two decades between Technip Energies and BPCL. With over 50 years of operational experience in India and a strong local presence across Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Ahmedabad, and Dahej, Technip Energies continues to position itself as a partner of choice for large-scale and technically complex energy projects.

As India seeks to enhance refining efficiency, increase petrochemical output, and maximise value from heavier feedstocks, projects such as these highlight the growing importance of advanced engineering, integration capability, and long-term execution expertise in shaping the country’s downstream energy landscape.
