PM Modi to Dedicate MRPL's Rs. 330-Crore Devangonthi Marketing Terminal
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to dedicate Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited's (MRPL) Devangonthi Marketing Terminal in Bengaluru on November 13, 2026. Developed at a cost of Rs. 330 crore, the terminal spans 20 acres and connects to MRPL's Mangaluru refinery via a 363-km pipeline. It has a storage capacity of 77,000 kilolitres for petrol, diesel, and aviation fuel, supporting regional energy needs and reducing CO2 emissions by shifting fuel transport from road to pipeline. The project also promotes clean energy through biofuel blending and is expected to generate over 280 jobs.
