IOC to revamp BGR for BS-VI fuel
New Delhi: State-owned Indian Oil Corp has received green nod for upgradation of its Bongaigaon refinery (BGR) for production of BS-VI grade fuels in Assam at a cost of `4,185 crore. The company wants to upgrade its Bongaigaon Refinery as the government aims to implement BS-VI fuel in the entire country from April 2020 to curb pollution. Oil firms will have to be prepared to retail BS VI-compliant fuel by then. BGR, the eighth operating refinery of IOC, is situated at Dhaligaon in Chirang district, 200 km west of Guwahati.
