据能源信息统计3月10日消息，印度已经发布了招标书，启动了印度第二大炼油和燃料零售公司巴拉特石油(BPCL)的私有化进程。该公司是印度第二大炼油和燃料零售公司。政府拥有该公司53%的股权。BPCL在孟买、高知（喀拉拉邦）、比那(中央邦)和努马里加尔(阿萨姆邦)共经营4家炼油厂。此外，它还经营着大约1.5万个加油服务站(占印度加油站总数的23%)和大约6000个液化石油气分销商(占总数的25%)。
在2019年10月，政府废除了BPCL《国有化法案》，为私有化铺平了道路。该公司目前的估值为1.02万亿印尼盾(合140亿美元)，将公司的部分股权出售给战略合作伙伴(私人公司和/或外国公司)，可能有助于政府完成其1.05万亿印尼盾(合150亿美元)资产剥离计划的一部分。

India invites bids for the sale of 53% in oil refiner BPCL
India has launched the privatisation process of Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), the second largest oil refining and fuel retailing company in the country, with the publication of an invitation to bid. The government owns a 53% stake in the company. BPCL operates four refineries at Mumbai, Kochi (Kerala), Bina (Madhya Pradesh) and Numaligarh (Assam). Moreover, it operates around 15,000 service stations (23% of the total oil stations in India) and around 6,000 LPG distributors (25% of the total).
In October 2019, the government repealed the BPCL Nationalisation Act, paving the way for the privatisation. The company is currently valued at INR 1,020bn (US$14bn) and the sale of an interest in the company to a strategic partner (private company and/or foreign company) could help the government meet a part of its INR 1,050bn (US$15bn) divestment programme.
