BPCL and Mumbai Port Authority to launch India's first green fuel ecosystem
State-run Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd ( BPCL ) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Mumbai Port Authority (MbPA) and the Mumbai Port Sustainability Foundation (MPSF) to create a green fuel ecosystem in Mumbai port.

As part of this initiative, BPCL and MbPA will jointly set up electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in the port facility.

Both partners will also explore converting diesel-powered vessels to cleaner fuel alternatives to enhance the port’s green infrastructure and minimise its carbon footprint.

Krishna Kumar, chairman and managing director at BPCL, said the MoU aligns with the company’s commitment to a sustainable future, and its goal of reaching net zero emissions for Scope 1 and Scope 2 by 2040.

“Enabling sustainable energy solutions like LNG and EV for the maritime sector is part of our endeavour to demonstrate social responsibility and partnering for our sustainable growth with that of the communities we serve,” Kumar said.

The agreement also addresses waste management, with BPCL and MPSF collaborating on systems for the segregation, storage, and handling of both recyclable and non-recyclable solid waste generated in the port.

This is aimed at fostering socially responsible practices, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable operational environment.

Petrol, Diesel Rates May Ease As Cheaper Crude Arrives: What Hardeep Puri’s Signal Means For India

Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri says petrol and diesel rates in India may ease once recently bought cheaper crude reaches refiners, after global oil prices cooled and Brent slipped below $80 a barrel. The signal matters because India imports most of its crude, so any sustained fall can filter through to motorists, freight users and inflation. But the relief is unlikely to be immediate, because fuel prices depend on inventory cycles, logistics and how quickly oil companies pass on lower input costs.
