Formerly known as Cochin Refineries Limited, the refinery was originally established as a joint venture in collaboration with Phillips Petroleum Corporation, USA. It was later renamed Kochi Refineries Limited, and today, it is a front-line entity as a unit of the Fortune 500 Company.

The refinery is located in Ambalamugal Kochi near Kochi in Kerala, and is one of the two refineries of BPCL, which currently has a refining capacity of 9.5 million metric tons per year (MMTPA). The product portfolio of the 190,000-barrel daily refinery today includes petrochemical feed-stocks and specialty products, as well as its range of quality fuels.

The products of this fuel-based refinery include liquefied petroleum gas, naphtha, motor alcohol, kerosene, aviation turbine fuel, high-speed diesel, fuel oils and asphalt. Specialty products for domestic markets include benzene, toluene, propylene, special boiling alcohol, mineral turpentine oil, sulfur and hydrogen.

The Kochi Refinery BPCL has been recertified for the coveted Integrated Management System (IMS) by M / s Bureau Veritas Certification for having met the requirements of the highest standards and practices in the areas of Quality Management, Environmental Management and Safety And Occupational Health.
