The company noted that the Indian petrochemical sector is currently grappling with falling polymer prices and high feedstock costs, which have squeezed margins across the industry.
Even so, BCPL said its strategic emphasis on operational efficiency has allowed it to consistently run the plant at optimal levels.
The company employs 601 personnel and around 2,500 contractual workers, contributing significantly to regional employment.
During the year, BCPL inducted its eighth batch of 69 apprentices across technical and management disciplines.
A study being conducted on its socio-economic impact in Assam and the Northeast suggests that BCPL has generated approximately 47,000 direct and indirect employment opportunities to date.
BCPL has also intensified its CSR initiatives across healthcare, education, rural infrastructure, sanitation, sports and livelihood development.
Since FY 2020-21, the company has allocated ₹76.35 crore for CSR work, of which 80 per cent has been utilised. Major initiatives include infrastructure upgrades at Assam Medical College and Hospitals in Dibrugarh, Jorhat Medical College, Lakhimpur Medical College, providing drinking-water facilities in schools in Dibrugarh district, upgrading sports infrastructure in Dibrugarh and Sivasagar, strengthening primary healthcare at Barbaruah, and delivering medical services to remote areas through a mobile unit.
The company has also supported livelihood programmes for unemployed youth and SHGs, built a multi-storeyed market complex at Barbaruah and introduced skill-development programmes with placement support.
To promote industry–academia collaboration, BCPL has signed several MoUs with academic and technical institutions to encourage research, innovation and hands-on training for students.
The company reaffirmed its commitment to sustainability, noting progress on its Net Zero roadmap and reiterating safety as a core operational priority through its HSE policy and enterprise-risk framework aligned with ISO 31000 and ESG standards.
Two key infrastructure projects — Butene-1 and HPG-2 — involving a combined investment of ₹2,817.92 crore, are under implementation and expected to become operational next year.
BCPL said it is also diversifying feedstock sourcing and strengthening supply chains to ensure long-term operational stability.
