The Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC) will import 14.90 lakh tonnes of refined fuel oil for over Tk8,417 crore during the January-June period of this year to meet the growing demand in the country's irrigation season.

Six state-owned enterprises – PTTT Thailand, ENOC UAE, PetroChina, BSP Indonesia, PTLCL Malaysia and UNIPEC China – will supply the fuel on a government-to-government (G2G) basis.

The approval came from this year's second meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Government Purchase held virtually with Finance Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal in the chair on Wednesday.
