Announcement
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to dedicate Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited's (MRPL) Devangonthi Marketing Terminal in Bengaluru on 13 November 2026.
Project Overview
The terminal was developed at an investment of Rs 330 crore, occupies 20 acres and is linked to MRPL's Mangaluru refinery via the 363‑km Petronet Mangalore–Hassan–Bangalore pipeline. It has a storage capacity of 77,000 kilolitres and is capable of handling petrol, diesel and aviation turbine fuel (ATF) for Bengaluru airport, MRPL’s HiQ retail outlets, oil marketing companies and industrial consumers. The facility is equipped with ten automated truck‑loading bays, advanced digital control systems and dedicated bio‑fuel blending facilities.
Environmental and Employment Impact
By shifting fuel movement from road transport to pipeline, the project is estimated to avoid approximately 40,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually and improve road safety. The terminal also includes ethanol and biodiesel storage and blending infrastructure to support India’s clean‑energy transition. MRPL expects the terminal to generate more than 280 direct and indirect employment opportunities.
