CPCL serves domestic sectors across transportation, agriculture, industry, and household use while exporting select products like base oils to global markets. In recent developments, CPCL seeks renewed government approval for its ₹36,400 crore expansion of the Cauvery Basin Refinery to 9 MMTPA capacity following the 2019 shutdown of the prior 0.5 MMTPA unit, with land acquisition of 1,300 acres completed since 2023, revised project costs from earlier estimates, and a new ownership structure featuring IOCL at 75% and CPCL at 25%; the company achieved record Q2 FY2025-26 performance with 114% capacity utilization, ₹20,034 crore revenue, ₹732 crore profit after tax, and a gross refining margin of $9.04 per barrel, alongside declaring a 50% dividend for FY2024-25.
