BPCL Approves Up to ₹5,000 Crore Debt Raise Through NCDs
BPCL plans to borrow up to ₹5,000 crore by selling special debt investments called NCDs.
The company can raise this money in as many as 10 parts during the next year.
The exact price and size of each issue will be decided later.
BPCL says it is continuing to invest in its refining and downstream businesses.
Its profit in the first quarter of FY27 was ₹3,192 crore.
Profit was reduced by a large charge related to its investment in Bharat PetroResources.
However, its main business operations performed more strongly.
BPCL shares fell nearly 2% after the announcement.
Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd. approved raising up to ₹5,000 crore through non-convertible debentures.
The debt may be issued in up to 10 tranches over the next year.
BPCL reported a Q1 FY27 net profit of ₹3,192 crore after a ₹4,349-crore impairment charge linked to Bharat PetroResources Ltd.
Operational performance remained stronger, with EBITDA of ₹10,061 crore and an 8.5% margin.
BPCL shares closed at ₹310.80 on the BSE, down 1.96%.
