Dear Shri @HardeepSPuri Sir, a heartfelt thanks to you for the wishes.

We look forward to your continued guidance and mentorship in helping BPCL achieve greater heights.

Received the newly appointed CMD of @BPCLimited, Sh Sanjay Khanna Ji in my office today.

He is a Chemical Engineer from @ReachNITT and has done his PG in Finance Management from @Uni_Mumbai. Khanna Ji brings over three decades of rich experience in refinery operations and technical services, particularly at a time when India is expanding and strengthening its refining capability and is focused on achieving energy self-sufficiency under the leadership of PM Sh @narendramodi Ji.

I congratulated him on assuming this important responsibility and wished him continued success in his tenure ahead.

PM @narendramodi जी की अध्यक्षता में केंद्रीय मंत्रिमंडल ने जलवायु परिवर्तन पर संयुक्त राष्ट्र फ्रेमवर्क कन्वेंशन को सूचित किए जाने वाले भारत के राष्ट्रीय स्तर पर निर्धारित योगदान (2031-2035) को मंजूरी दी।

यह निर्णय 2047 तक विकसित भारत और 2070 तक नेट-जीरो के लक्ष्य के अनुरूप, भारत की प्रतिबद्धताओं को मजबूती देगा।

केंद्रीय मंत्रिमंडल ने ₹28,840 करोड़ के कुल परिव्यय की क्षेत्रीय कनेक्टिविटी योजना - संशोधित उड़ान योजना को मंजूरी दी।

इस योजना से दूरस्थ, पहाड़ी और द्वीपीय क्षेत्रों में संपर्क स्थापित हो गया है, जिससे पर्यटन, स्वास्थ्य सेवाओं तक पहुंच और आपातकालीन सेवाओं को बढ़ावा मिला है।

कैबिनेट के इस निर्णय से कम सेवा प्राप्त और सेवा से वंचित क्षेत्रों के लिए क्षेत्रीय हवाई संपर्क को मजबूती मिलेगी।

[Hardeep Singh Puri @HardeepSPuri]

International crude prices have gone through the roof in the last 1 month from around 70 dollars/barrel to around 122 dollars/barrel. Consequently, petrol and diesel prices for consumers have gone up all over the world. Prices have increased by around 30%-50% in South East Asian countries, 30% in North American countries, 20% in Europe and 50% in African countries.

The Modi Government had two choices- either increase prices drastically for citizens of Bharat as all other nations have done or bear the brunt on its finances so that Indian citizen is insulated from international volatility.

Hon’ble Prime Minister @narendramodi Ji, in keeping with his Government’s commitment of last 4 years since the conflict in Russia-Ukraine started, decided to take a hit on its own finances again to safeguard the Indian citizen.

Government has taken a huge hit on it taxation revenues to ensure very high losses of oil companies (approximately 24 Rs/litre for petrol and 30 Rs/litre for diesel) at this time of sky high international prices are reduced. At the same time, export tax has been levied as international prices of petrol and diesel have skyrocketed and any refinery exporting to foreign nations will have to pay export tax. My gratitude to Hon’ble PM Narendra Modi Ji and Hon’ble FM @nsitharaman Ji for this very timely, bold and visionary decision!

[Hardeep Singh Puri @HardeepSPuri]

The global situation remains in flux, and we are closely monitoring developments across energy, supply chains, and essential commodities on a real-time basis.

Under the leadership of Hon’ble PM @narendramodi Ji, all necessary steps are being taken to ensure uninterrupted availability of fuel, energy, and other critical supplies for our citizens. We are fully prepared to handle emerging challenges.

India has consistently demonstrated resilience in the face of global uncertainties, and we will continue to act in a timely, proactive, and coordinated manner.

Rumours of a lockdown in India are completely false. Let me state this clearly, there is no such proposal under consideration by the Government of India.

In such times, it is important that we remain calm, responsible, and united.

Attempts to spread rumours and create panic in such a situation are irresponsible and harmful.

वैश्विक स्थिति अभी भी अनिश्चित बनी हुई है, और हम ऊर्जा, सप्लाई चेन और ज़रूरी वस्तुओं से जुड़े हालात पर लगातार नज़र बनाए हुए हैं।

माननीय प्रधानमंत्री जी के नेतृत्व में सरकार यह सुनिश्चित कर रही है कि देश में ईंधन, ऊर्जा और अन्य आवश्यक चीज़ों की आपूर्ति बिना किसी रुकावट के जारी रहे। हर संभावित चुनौती से निपटने के लिए हम पूरी तरह तैयार हैं।

भारत ने पहले भी वैश्विक अनिश्चितताओं के बीच अपनी मज़बूती दिखाई है, और आगे भी हम समय पर, सक्रिय और समन्वित तरीके से कदम उठाते रहेंगे।

लॉकडाउन को लेकर फैल रही अफवाहें पूरी तरह गलत हैं। मैं स्पष्ट करना चाहता हूँ कि सरकार के स्तर पर ऐसा कोई प्रस्ताव विचाराधीन नहीं है।

ऐसे समय में ज़रूरी है कि हम सभी शांत, ज़िम्मेदार और एकजुट रहें।

इस तरह की स्थिति में अफवाह फैलाना और बेवजह डर का माहौल बनाना गैर-जिम्मेदाराना और हानिकारक है।

Met @cmdbpcl Sh G Krishnakumar Ji. A dedicated and knowledgeable professional and captain of India’s energy sector, he will superannuate this month end.
The contributions made by Sh Krishnakumar as the CMD of @BPCLimited, one of India’s leading OMCs and Maharatna PSU have played an important role in India’s journey towards energy security and green energy transition.
His tenure also saw BPCL becoming one of the most profitable energy PSUs of the country earning a net profit of ₹26,859 crore in 2023-24 from being in line for disinvestment.
I wish him all success in the life ahead.

This is to inform that the increase in #ExciseDuty of Rs. 2 per litre on petrol and diesel by the Central Government will not be passed on to consumers.

The prices of Petrol & Diesel will remain unchanged. @HardeepSPuri @TheSureshGopi @PetroleumMin

[Hardeep Singh Puri @HardeepSPuri]

Held comprehensive and detailed discussions with captains & professionals of India's energy sector entities & officials of @PetroleumMin in Mangaluru on the journey ahead for the sector under the visionary & decisive leadership of PM @narendramodi Ji.

As India pivots toward transforming into a global energy hub, the sector is experiencing unprecedented growth & offers abundant investment & employment opportunities. Key focal areas of the day-long discussion today included green energy transition, leveraging artificial intelligence along the entire hydrocarbons value chain, expansion and strengthening of existing infrastructure, scaling ethanol production and blending, monetizing overseas assets, and enhancing operational capabilities.

Also discussed the Global Biofuels Alliance initiative, along with strategies to integrate natural gas into coal-based power plants. We also addressed challenges related to retail outlets and the implementation of localized, customized Non Fuel Retail activities. The session underscored India’s commitment to driving innovation and sustainability in its energy sector while addressing emerging opportunities and challenges.

As India confidently strides towards becoming the third largest economy in the world, we will emerge as the demand centre for energy accounting for more than 25% of the overall increase in global energy demand in the next two decades to drive this unprecedented economic growth.

From vision to reality! BPCL is proud to be part of the 10 years of Swachh Bharat Mission. With millions of toilets built, improved sanitation, and better health outcomes, we're one step closer to a #Swachh #ViksitBharat
Let's keep pushing forward on this incredible journey!

A decade of Swachhata!
#10YearsOfSwachhBharat
The clarion call for cleanliness given by PM @narendramodi Ji in his first speech from the ramparts of the Red Fort in 2014 transformed into one of the world’s largest Jan Andolans as Swachh Bharat Mission completes ten glorious years!
Under the leadership of PM Modi Ji, cleanliness has become an integral part of every Indian’s conscience. Over the years several initiatives taken under @SwachhBharatGov, many of which I was proudly associated with, and continue to be inspired by, provide strength to India’s resolve to maintain #Swachhta.
This globally recognised campaign has made India open defecation-free & has provided access to proper sanitation to crores of women. The construction of millions of toilets has been life-changing, improving women's health, hygiene, and well-being, while also helping to prevent many diseases.
Today we come together to take the visionary mission forward as we journey through #AmritKaal towards being #ViksitBharat
