Bengal Chemicals & Pharmaceutical Ltd (BCPL), a public sector enterprise under the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers has scaled up its production activities and created an all-time record by producing 51,960 pheneol bottles on a single day. 

 

This achievement goes to the BCPL Panihati, North 24-Parganas Unit situated in West Bengal.

 

Speaking on the milestone, BCPL Director (Finance) PM Chandraiah said, "It is an all-time record in the 120 year old history of BCPL. In July 2020, we had managed to produce 38,000 pheneol bottles in a single day. In a month's time the company has scaled it up further and now can produce more than 50,000 pheneol bottles in a single day. As many as 51,960 bottles were produced on 23rd August, 2020. 

 

"The monthly sale of pheneol was to the tune of Rs. 3 to 3.5 crores. This has gone up to the range of Rs. 4.5 to 6 crore a month since the COVID-19 outbreak which is a clear indication of the huge demand of the product," said Chandraiah.
