Commenting on Q1FY22 performance, Shri V.R.K.

He further added that "Revenue has grown up by 77% as compared to corresponding quarter of previous year. Similarly, improvements in the crack in the international market is reflected in our quarterly GRM which has shown significant improvement as compared to corresponding quarter of previous year. Acquisition of 36.60% of stake held by Oman Oil in BORL by BPCL was completed during the first quarter of FY 2021-22 resulting in full control on BORL by BPCL."
