BPCL Board Approves Up to Rs 5,000 Crore Fundraise via Non-Convertible Debentures
Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd. (BPCL) has approved raising up to Rs 5,000 crore through non-convertible debentures (NCDs), which may be issued in up to 10 tranches over the next year.

This fundraise supports BPCL's ongoing investments in refining and downstream sectors, amid recent financial impacts from impairment charges and foreign-exchange losses related to its upstream subsidiary.
