據能源信息統計3月10日消息，印度已經發布了招標書，啟動了印度第二大煉油和燃料零售公司巴拉特石油(BPCL)的私有化進程。該公司是印度第二大煉油和燃料零售公司。政府擁有該公司53%的股權。BPCL在孟買、高知（喀拉拉邦）、比那(中央邦)和努馬里加爾(阿薩姆邦)共經營4家煉油廠。此外，它還經營著大約1.5萬個加油服務站(占印度加油站總數的23%)和大約6000個液化石油氣分銷商(占總數的25%)。

在2019年10月，政府廢除了BPCL《國有化法案》，為私有化鋪平了道路。該公司目前的估值為1.02萬億印尼盾(合140億美元)，將公司的部分股權出售給戰略合作伙伴(私人公司和/或外國公司)，可能有助于政府完成其1.05萬億印尼盾(合150億美元)資產剝離計劃的一部分。

India invites bids for the sale of 53% in oil refiner BPCL

India has launched the privatisation process of Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), the second largest oil refining and fuel retailing company in the country, with the publication of an invitation to bid. The government owns a 53% stake in the company. BPCL operates four refineries at Mumbai, Kochi (Kerala), Bina (Madhya Pradesh) and Numaligarh (Assam). Moreover, it operates around 15,000 service stations (23% of the total oil stations in India) and around 6,000 LPG distributors (25% of the total).

In October 2019, the government repealed the BPCL Nationalisation Act, paving the way for the privatisation. The company is currently valued at INR 1,020bn (US$14bn) and the sale of an interest in the company to a strategic partner (private company and/or foreign company) could help the government meet a part of its INR 1,050bn (US$15bn) divestment programme.
