Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd.
BPCL Corporate Research & Development Centre (CRDC), a premier research institution in the country, is an R&D Centre recognized by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR). The Centre, located in Greater Noida and set up on a sprawling 68-acre site, was established in 2001. The facility has grown manifold since then, as more research domains were added steadily in the subsequent years. Bharat Petroleum, a leading public sector undertaking (PSU) with ‘Maharatna’ status, is a national oil company engaged in the petroleum refining and marketing business, with about 21% share of marketing of oil products in the country. For navigating the future proactively and ensuring sustained competitiveness, setting up CRDC was a decisive move in the innovation-led growth strategy of the corporation.
