I consider this as the greatest Petrochemical SBU.” milestone in my whole career.

Six days later, the then Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh had visited us and laid the foundation stone of IREP. His words that ‘the best is yet to come’ still reverberates in my mind when I look at our IREP complex, our PDPP campus, our new school and our Marine Drive Township.

The great strides we have taken have been possible by the committed and concerted effort of Team KR and the support extended by the BPCL Management. We as a team performed with unity and earnestness to transform KR as the largest PSU Refinery on the threshold of becoming an Integrated Refinery cum Petrochemical SBU.

I would also like to recall the support extended by Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, State, District Administration, Local Self Governments, Kerala Police and other agencies. They were all so overwhelmed by the earnest effort of Team Kochi Refinery for the industrial and societal development, that they extended their helping hands without any hesitation.
