Direct Lobbying Transparency

| Limited | Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd has provided limited transparency around its climate lobbying activities. It does not disclose any direct or indirect lobbying mechanisms—such as meetings, letters, or participation in consultations—nor does it identify specific policymakers or government bodies targeted. The only specific policy named is the Perform Achieve and Trade (PAT) programme under India’s National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency, with the company noting that “Bureau of Energy Efficiency under the National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE) has a flagship programme called PAT (Perform Achieve and Trade). Both our Refineries i.e. Mumbai and Kochi Refinery have achieved PAT target for FY 2019-20.” Beyond this, BPCL refers generally to alignment with India’s renewable energy capacity and NDC goals but does not identify any other specific laws or regulations it has lobbied. Finally, while the company outlines internal objectives—such as sourcing 10% of its electricity from renewables, solarizing 50% of retail outlets by 2024, and achieving net zero by 2040—it does not articulate any policy outcomes it has sought to influence. | 1 |
