据能源经济2月19日消息称，印度工程公司（EIL）今天宣布，已经决定投标收购巴拉特石油公司(BPCL)在Numaligarh炼油厂持有的61.65%的股份，这是与印度石油有限公司（OIL）组成的财团的一部分。
这家国有工程咨询公司在一份声明中表示，EIL将持有该财团的少数股份，而OIL将是领导者。该公司补充称:“这将使EIL的业务多元化，进入下游油气业务。”
作为削减公共部门投资的大型计划的一部分，政府希望在下一财政年度(2021-22)上半年结束前对下游炼油商BPCL进行私有化。
在此之前，BPCL计划完成其在Numaligarh炼油厂(NRL)的股权出售。印度石油-EIL财团可能获得49%的股份，但其余13.65%的股份将出售给阿萨姆邦政府。

Oil India, EIL consortium to bid for BPCL's stake in Numaligarh refinery
Engineers India Ltd (EIL) today announced it has decided to bid for acquiring 61.65 per cent stake held by Bharat Petroleum Corp (BPCL) in Numaligarh refinery as part of a consortium with Oil India Ltd (OIL).
EIL will hold a minority share in the consortium while OIL will be the leader, the state-owned engineering consultancy firm said in a statement. "This would enable EIL to diversify its business into downstream oil & gas operations," it added.
As part of a larger plan for disinvestment of Public Sector Undertakings, the government wants to privatise downstream oil refiner BPCL by the end of the first half of next financial year (2021-22).
Before that, BPCL plans to complete its stake sale in Numaligarh Refinery Ltd (NRL). While the Oil India-EIL consortium is likely to pick up 49 per cent, the rest 13.65 per cent stake will be sold to the Assam government.
