‘Outstanding Technocrat Award’ for IOC director
New Delhi   28-Apr-2011

The Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) has conferred the `Best Technocrat Award' to Director Refineries BN Bankapur.

He was felicitated for his outstanding contribution to the petroleum Industry and in particular IndianOil. The award was presented by President GG Mohandas Prabhu and members at a glittering function held at the KCCI auditorium in Mangalore recently.

Bankapur has been leading IndianOil's strategic refinery-petrochemicals growth plan, setting new standards of excellence in throughput and capacity utilization, value addition and diversification projects in IndianOil Refineries, thereby strengthening IndianOil's dominance in the increasingly competitive and volatile market scenario. IndianOil Refineries have garnered a new record of crude throughput of 53 million metric tonnes and achieving capacity utilisation of 102 percent which is better that the world average. IOC Refineries thus recorded a capacity utilisation of over 100 percent for the fourth year in a row.
