BMW Industries Limited partnered with Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) to secure piped natural gas (PNG) supply for its manufacturing facility in Bokaro, Jharkhand. The collaboration marks an important step in BMW Industries’ strategy to transition toward cleaner and more efficient energy sources in its manufacturing operations.
Agreement Formalised in Kolkata
The two companies formally signed the agreement at the ERPL headquarters in Kolkata, reinforcing their cooperation. Through the partnership, IOCL will supply piped natural gas to BMW Industries’ Bokaro facility. It enables the company to gradually replace conventional fuels with a cleaner alternative.

The transition will support the company’s efforts to enhance operational performance. It will also align with its broader sustainability and responsible manufacturing goals.
