In a significant demonstration of operational resilience, Brahmaputra Cracker and Polymer Limited (BCPL) has announced a robust financial performance for the year 2024-25. The company, based in Dibrugarh, not only achieved an impressive capacity utilisation but also returned to profitability amidst a difficult market climate.
Financial Resilience in a Tough Market
The announcement was made by the Managing Director, Pranjal Changmai, during a media interaction held in Dibrugarh. He revealed that BCPL operated at a remarkable 113% of its capacity during the financial year. Despite facing lower polymer prices and high costs for raw materials, the company managed to post a marginal net profit.
BCPL generated a substantial revenue of Rs 3,579.20 crore. The firm's financial foundation remains strong, with a net worth standing at Rs 3,017 crore as of March 31, 2025. Reflecting this stability, its external credit rating has been maintained at a healthy 'AA+'.
"Our strategic focus on enhancing operational efficiency has been the cornerstone of navigating through these market challenges," stated Pranjal Changmai. He further confirmed that the plant's performance continues to be stellar, operating at over 100% capacity in the current fiscal year as of October 2025.
Substantial Socio-Economic Contributions
Beyond the balance sheet, BCPL's presence has been a major boost for the local and regional economy. A preliminary study estimates that the company has been responsible for creating around 47,000 direct and indirect jobs. Currently, BCPL directly employs 601 personnel and engages roughly 2,500 contractual workers.
The company has also been proactive in its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives. Since the fiscal year 2020-21, BCPL has allocated a total of Rs 76.35 crore towards various social welfare projects. Major areas of investment include the upgradation of medical college facilities, providing clean drinking water in schools, and improving sports infrastructure across the region.
Future Roadmap: Expansion and Sustainability
Looking forward, BCPL is actively working on key infrastructure expansion projects. These include the Butene-1 and HPG-2 units, which represent a combined investment of over Rs 2,800 crore. These projects are anticipated to become operational in the coming year, further strengthening the company's market position.
In a move that underscores its commitment to the environment, BCPL is also in the process of developing a net zero roadmap. This initiative aims to reinforce the company's dedication to long-term environmental sustainability and responsible corporate practices.
Concluding the announcement, MD Pranjal Changmai expressed his gratitude to the Central and State Governments, promoter organisations, and the district administration for their continuous and unwavering support, which has been vital for BCPL's operations and its contribution to the regional economy.
