Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) has applied for the expansion of its Green Research and Development (R&D) Centre located at the KIADB Industrial Area, Tarabanahalli, Devanagondi, East Bengaluru, according to project details. The proposed expansion involves an estimated investment of ₹287 crore and aims to strengthen the company’s research infrastructure through the addition of advanced laboratory facilities.
The Green R&D Centre expansion is planned within the existing KIADB industrial zone, a well-established hub for industrial and research activities in East Bengaluru. As part of the proposal, HPCL intends to set up multiple specialised laboratories, supporting research and development initiatives aligned with cleaner energy, fuel innovation, and sustainability-focused technologies.
HPCL’s Green R&D Centre plays a strategic role in the company’s long-term focus on energy transition, emissions reduction, and development of environmentally responsible fuel solutions. The proposed expansion is expected to enhance in-house research capabilities, improve testing infrastructure, and support innovation across various energy-related domains.
East Bengaluru, particularly the Devanagondi–Tarabanahalli belt, has been witnessing increased industrial and institutional development due to its proximity to key infrastructure corridors, including National Highways, industrial clusters, and logistics routes. The location also benefits from connectivity to Bengaluru’s IT and manufacturing zones, making it suitable for large-scale R&D operations.
Once approvals are granted, the expansion project is expected to add to the region’s growing portfolio of research-oriented developments and reinforce East Bengaluru’s position as an emerging destination for industrial and innovation-led investments. The project is likely to generate employment opportunities during both construction and operational phases, while also supporting ancillary services in the surrounding areas.
The proposed ₹287-crore investment underlines HPCL’s continued focus on strengthening its research ecosystem in India. Further details regarding construction timelines and execution phases are expected following regulatory clearances.
