3 JANUARY 2016 I Volume LI I No. 1 Challenging year ahead To decide 1st of January as the commencement date of the second season of our Build My Image (BMI) initiative was easy. New Year is indeed the time for figuring out life s purposes, identifying aims and targets and taking resolutions for a better tomorrow. It is a time to take complete responsibility of our lives. A personal development initiative to improve one s health as BMI requires such an understanding. One has to take a resolution and stick on to it to bring blessings to one s life. BMI as you all know had brought substantial happiness to many Koch Refiners. However, BMI is only one such promising initiative. Each one could identify many such growth prospects and enrich one s life. Moreover, Year 2016 would be a challenging year to all of us in KR. We are in the threshold of a major development. IREP is entering its final lap and the Petchem project would gain momentum. These changes would present to us prospects to learn new areas, gain new understanding and thereby shape the destiny of our organization and ourselves. It is an interesting coincidence that this Year of challenge has come on the Golden Jubilee Year of the commissioning of Kochi Refinery. No wonder, in this issue of JwalaDhwani our unit head urges us to write a golden chapter in the history of KR. JwalaDhwani wishes its readers a Happy and fruitful New Year.

5 Message Let us write a golden chapter Dear Colleagues, About fifty years ago, the founders of Kochi Refinery were passing through a brave and challenging initial phase of the organization. The construction of our first Refinery was being completed and commissioning activities were underway. In the next few months, we created history by dedicating Kochi Refinery to the Nation on 23rd September Five decades later, we are passing through a similar challenging phase. Our Integrated Refinery Expansion Project (IREP), a project of much larger scale, has attained a physical progress of 91.5 percent and the commissioning work has commenced. The tasks ahead are challenging. In Year 2016, our immediate focus is the safe and timely completion and commissioning of IREP Units. As per the Auto Fuel policy, petrol and diesel marketed in Kerala and other few Southern States have to conform to Bharat Stage IV Specifications from 1st April The timely completion of the project is essential for meeting these market requirements. In the mean time, we are commencing the implementation of our Petchem Project. This Make in India initiative would pave way to BPCL s entry to petrochemical sector and help Kochi in becoming the petrochemical hub of South India. All these can be made possible through relentless efforts by one and all working in all departments in KR. I urge all my colleagues to join together in this mission whole heartedly. Speaking about the bygone year, I am happy to say that we have continued to maintain excellent performance in achieving physical and financial targets by optimizing operations and business process. The highlight of the year is the enhanced reliability of our operations. This has contributed a long way in improving the Gross Refinery Margin of the refinery. Our accomplishments on the safety front have been impressive and encouraging. The Refinery crossed 42 million Accident Free manhours in the month of November KR has also completed ten years without Loss Time Accidents. These are glowing testimonies of the excellent Safety Management Systems in place supplemented by the commitment of each one of you in this direction. However, we must not be complacent and continue to improvise systems focusing on Behavioral and Process safety. Meanwhile, the business environment continues to remain volatile which calls for proper and prudent understanding of the prevailing situation and responding accordingly. In view of this, we are pursuing a broad array of growth opportunities by way of implementing new projects under Project Sankalp. These projects once implemented would help us acquire the capabilities to produce cleaner and better auto fuels and enhance our profitability. Friends, Year 2016 begins with the Ruby Jubilee of Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited. It was on 24th January 1976, the Burmah Shell was taken over by the Government of India to form BPCL to energize the lives of the country. As mentioned earlier the year also marks the Golden Jubilee of Kochi Refinery which was commissioned in As 1966 and 1976, Year 2016 would turn out to be a milestone in the annals of BPCL with the commissioning of our IREP units. Each one of us, as committed BPCians should strive towards the successful commissioning and transformation of the Southernmost Refinery in the country. Colleagues, in this year of Golden Jubilee of KR, let us write a golden chapter in the history of BPCL. I sign off with a sentence from our Chairman Shri S Varadarajan s Letter to shareowners in the Annual Report : We will forever strive to take this Company to the ultimate pinnacle and create value, far exceeding your expectations. I extend my best wishes to you and your families for a prosperous and promising year ahead. Prasad K Panicker Executive Director I/C (Kochi Refinery) January

So goes the saying which holds true for many a person who has retired from our Refinery. Most of our seniors are involved in farming, social work, academics, etc. It is no wonder that they turned up fresh and energetic at the recent Retired Employees Meet. Let us take a look at Mr CM David who retired from our services in He had his lively Old Santa Claus Club welcoming him for full time participation. The Club included Mr David and three others who were his classmates who had retired from various organizations. The four got together and decided to bring their passion on farming into action. They set out an action plan to work on the one acre land owned by one of the members. With the support and guidance from Krishi Bhavan, the team moved ahead. Using drip irrigation, plastic mulching, etc the team went about keenly, taking turns at the farm. The results were overwhelming and green! The team gets a good harvest of vegetables at the end of the season. Mr David also continues the organic farming in his home where his wife also helps him. A true bonding of friendship continues, just like the goodness of the green movement. We do not have to buy vegetables from the shop. We get them fresh from our farm. Our team interaction is also evergreen just like this green movement. And have no time to spare, he says, with a contended smile. January
