MRPL Commissions ₹330 Crore Marketing Terminal
Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited (MRPL) has announced the upcoming dedication of its new, advanced Devangonthi Marketing Terminal located in Bengaluru. The official ceremony is scheduled to take place on November 13, 2026, with the terminal being dedicated to the nation by the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.

Strategic Importance and Infrastructure
The Devangonthi Marketing Terminal is designed to bolster Karnataka’s energy infrastructure and improve the reliability of fuel supply across the region. Spread over 20 acres, the terminal is connected to MRPL’s Mangaluru refinery via the 363-km Petronet Mangalore-Hassan-Bangalore Pipeline. It boasts a storage capacity of 77,000 kilolitres and is equipped to handle petrol, diesel, and Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF). The facility will serve various clients, including Bengaluru airport, MRPL’s HiQ retail outlets, Oil Marketing Companies, and industrial consumers. Key features include 10 automated truck-loading bays and dedicated biofuel blending facilities, emphasizing operational efficiency, safety, and environmental standards.
Environmental and Economic Benefits
A major environmental advantage of this project is the shift from long-distance road transportation to pipeline-based fuel movement, which is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 40,000 tonnes annually. The terminal also supports India’s clean energy initiatives through specialized infrastructure for ethanol and biodiesel. Economically, the project is projected to create over 280 direct and indirect jobs, fostering the expansion of fuel distribution networks and industrial activities within Karnataka and neighboring markets.
Contribution to Energy Security
The commissioning of the Devangonthi Marketing Terminal represents a crucial step in MRPL’s ongoing commitment to enhancing India’s energy security, promoting sustainable infrastructure development, and driving economic growth. The terminal underscores MRPL’s dedication to delivering reliable, high-quality energy solutions nationwide.
