The government has postponed strategic disinvestment process of country's second biggest oil refiner and retailer Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) by over a month in wake of prevailing situation arising out of coronavirus.

 
The date of submission of expression of interest (EoI) by interested bidders has been postponed to June 13. This deadline was earlier kept for May 2.
 
Also, bidders would now have to sent their written query to preliminary info rmation memorandum (PIM) on BPCL disinvestment issued by DIPAM early last mo nth by May 16 instead of April 4 earlier.
