KSRTC, BMTC buses will now run on fuel from MRPL

Bengaluru, 08 Sep 2020 [Fik/News Sources]: KSRTC and BMTC buses that transport millions of passengers every day will now run on diesel produced at Mangaluru-based MRPL (Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited).

KSRTC and BMTC buses cover every nook and corner of the state and also ply outside the state. The people of Karnataka are dependent on these buses for local and long-distance travel.

People from many neighbouring states also use these buses frequently to commute for business and personal travel requirements.

The tender for supplying diesel to KSRTC and BMTC buses was executed by HPCL. HPCL has tied up with MRPL to ensure regular supply of diesel.

The first load to KSRTC by HPCL with MRPL HSD (high-speed diesel) under this
tender was dispatched recently.

“This tie-up is expected to increase MRPL’s direct sale of HSD in Karnataka by at least 20 fold, in comparison to our sales in the previous financial year. MRPL is also expanding its retail network in Karnataka and Kerala with the construction of many retail outlets which are in the final stages of their construction,” said Sathyanarayana HC, GGM–Marketing.
