Guwahati: Brahmaputra Cracker and Polymer Limited (BCPL) produced 2.52 lakh MT Polymers and 53,170 MT liquid hydrocarbons in the 2022-23 financial year, said Chairman Sandeep Kumar Gupta.

Gupta said this at the 16th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of BCPL in Guwahati on Saturday.

In his address, Chairman Gupta expressed gratitude to the valued stakeholders for their continued support and confidence.

He noted that FY 2022-23 had been a challenging year for the company, marked by spiraling feedstock prices and relatively low polymer prices.

Gupta added that BCPL’s captive Butene-1 plant was geared for completion in November 2024, which would ease concerns regarding sourcing of the raw material.

He also stated that plans for debottlenecking and capacity expansion were underway.

BCPL earned revenue from operation amounting to Rs 3486.82 crore and EBITDA of Rs 347.12 crore during the year.
