BPCL, HPCL take 25 pc stake each in IOC’s Rs 9,000-cr LPG pipeline project

BPCL and HPCL will take 25 per cent stake each in the Rs 9,000-cr project that involves laying of a pipeline from Kandla in Gujarat to Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh, the companies said in separate but almost identical regulatory filings.
IOC, which had in 2016 proposed laying of the pipeline, will hold the remaining 50 per cent stake.
