In a significant development for Karnataka’s energy infrastructure, Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd (MRPL), a subsidiary of ONGC, has announced the commissioning of a new state-of-the-art marketing terminal in Bengaluru. Located strategically at Devangonthi in the eastern part of the city, the terminal is designed to enhance the distribution and availability of key petroleum products, such as petrol, diesel, and aviation turbine fuel (ATF), to meet the growing energy demands of Karnataka and the neighboring states.
The new terminal, equipped with the latest technology and adhering to the highest safety and environmental standards, represents a major investment by MRPL in expanding its market presence. This facility will play a crucial role in achieving MRPL’s ambitious target of selling 1 million metric tons of fuel through its retail brand, “MRPL HiQ Auto fuels.” In addition to facilitating the efficient supply of petrol and diesel, the terminal is poised to significantly improve the cost-effective distribution of ATF, particularly around major airports like Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru.
Shri Mundkur Shyamprasad Kamath, the Managing Director of MRPL, expressed optimism about the terminal’s potential impact on the region’s energy landscape. “This new terminal in Bengaluru is a critical investment in our mission to provide reliable, high-quality fuel to meet the needs of a growing customer base. It underscores our commitment to ensuring energy security while supporting the region’s economic development,” he said.
Kamath highlighted the terminal’s role in expanding MRPL’s retail network and aviation fuel business. “We aspire to leverage this terminal to maximize revenue and value for the organization by expanding our footprint in this rapidly developing region,” he added.
With this new terminal, MRPL strengthens its capacity to deliver fuel efficiently across Karnataka and beyond, reinforcing its position as a key player in the region’s energy sector.
