As the government is looking to divest stake in Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) there is some positive news for the company. Oil India (OIL) and Engineers India (EIL) will be forming a consortium to bid for BPCL's 61.65 percent stake in Numaligarh Refinery.
Oil India already has 26 percent stake in the refinery, so it will be increasing it further and EIL will have a minority stake for now. To what extent they will be investing in the refinery depends on what the Assam government does, as at present they have 12.50 percent stake in Numaligarh Refinery.
Watch the video to know more about the consortium and the stake they would acquire from BPCL.
