Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL), a Fortune Global 500 company, has signed two Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with the Government of Kerala to support major community infrastructure projects. The MoUs were exchanged in the presence of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan at the Government Secretariat on August 20.

The agreements include the development of a four-lane road to the Ambalamugal Industrial Hub in Ernakulam, along with a new bridge over the Chitrapuzha River, in partnership with the Kerala Public Works Department. BPCL will contribute Rs 251.2 million towards the project.

Additionally, BPCL will construct an amenity centre at the Cochin Cancer Research Centre (CCRC), offering accommodation and support facilities for about 185 patients and bystanders. The initiative, undertaken under BPCL’s CSR programme, involves an investment of Rs 113.4 million.

The initiatives aim to strengthen connectivity to a key industrial hub while enhancing healthcare support infrastructure for cancer patients and their families, underlining BPCL’s continued partnership with the state government.
