The teams from Bharat Petroleum – Corporate R&D and Energy & Environment, Mumbai Refinery – bagged the CII Most innovative Environmental project award and the Most useful Environmental project award for the indigenous development of the research product BHARAT GSR CAT (gasoline sulfur reduction catalyst).
