Varanasi: Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), a Fortune Global 500 company and a Maharatna PSU, marked a significant milestone in its sustainable energy journey at theSaksham Meet in Varanasi, with the signing of multiple Compressed Bio-Gas (CBG) Tripartite Agreements (TPAs) across key Geographical Areas (GAs) in Uttar Pradesh.
These agreements further reinforce BPCL’s commitment to accelerating the greenification of the fuel ecosystem by integrating renewable gas into its City Gas Distribution (CGD) network, supporting India’s energy transition goals and national decarbonization objectives.
Commenting on the development, Mr Rahul Tandon, Business Head, BPCL, said, “The signing of these Tripartite Agreements reflects BPCL’s structured approach towards integrating Compressed Bio-Gas into our CGD network and advancing the greenification of India’s fuel ecosystem. By expanding renewable gas sourcing and scaling up blending levels, we are supporting the nation’s decarbonization agenda while building a resilient, low-carbon energy infrastructure for the future.”
Within the Lakhimpur Geographical Area, BPCL signed three TPAs with two producers, totalling 34 tonnes per day (TPD). The agreements include a 10 TPD plant at Pilibhit with RBML (JioBP) and two 12 TPD plants at Sitapur with Ladelite Power. The proposed facilities are expected to commence production by July 2026, significantly enhancing the availability of green fuel across underserved regions.
With these additions, Lakhimpur GA has now signed 18 TPAs, with the total contracted CBG quantity surpassing 145 TPD, strengthening decentralised renewable gas sourcing and supporting rural bio-economy development.
Simultaneously, the Amethi–Pratapgarh–Raebareli GA expanded its renewable gas portfolio by signing two additional TPAs with Reliance, comprising a 5 TPD plant at Ayodhya and another at Haidergarh in Barabanki district. Supply is expected to commence from April 2026, further strengthening the GA’s green gas integration roadmap.
With these agreements, the GA now has seven active TPAs, totalling 28 TPD of contracted CBG capacity. Currently operating at 10% CBG blending, the GA has set a target to achieve 20% blending by April 2026, contributing meaningfully to reducing carbon intensity and strengthening regional energy security.
The Saksham Meet was attended by key BPCL officials, including Ajit Kumar Singh (TM Gas), Lakhimpur GA; Shailesh Kumar (TM Gas), Amethi–Pratapgarh–Raebareli GA; and Shivansh Joshi (SO Gas), Lakhimpur GA, reflecting strong on-ground leadership and coordinated efforts to advance BPCL’s renewable gas agenda.
Between April 2025 and January 2026, BPCL has signed a total of 31 TPAs, aggregating a contracted capacity of 255 TPD. Cumulatively, BPCL has signed 44 TPAs till Jan’2026, representing a total contracted CBG capacity of 284 TPD across its CGD network reflecting steady progress in scaling renewable gas integration. At the overall business level, BPCL has achieved 3.6% CBG blending, with a peak blending level of 5.84% recorded in January 2026, demonstrating strong operational momentum toward green gas adoption.
These developments underscore BPCL’s commitment to sustainable growth, national bio-energy initiatives, and its leadership in driving India’s transition toward a cleaner and greener energy future.
