PM to dedicate MRPL’s ₹330-crore pipeline-fed fuel terminal in Bengaluru

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to dedicate Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited’s (MRPL) ₹330-crore Devangonthi Marketing Terminal in Bengaluru on 13 November 2026. The terminal receives fuel by pipeline from MRPL’s Mangaluru refinery and provides 77,000 kilolitres of storage for distribution to Bengaluru airport, fuel retailers and industrial customers.

The terminal occupies 20 acres in eastern Bengaluru and receives finished petroleum products through the 363-km Petronet Mangalore–Hassan–Bangalore Pipeline. It handles petrol, diesel and aviation turbine fuel (ATF). Its customers include Bengaluru airport, MRPL’s HiQ retail outlets, other oil marketing companies and industrial consumers.

The facility has 10 automated truck-loading bays and digital control systems. The pipeline carries fuel from the coastal refinery to Bengaluru, where the terminal provides storage and loading capacity for onward distribution by road. MRPL developed the facility primarily to support the expansion of its retail and industrial fuel business in Karnataka.

MRPL completed mechanical work on the terminal in May 2024 and commissioned it in August that year, according to its annual report. The company subsequently confirmed that diesel tanker loading had begun. The November 2026 ceremony is the formal dedication of the operating facility.
