Dibrugarh: Brahmaputra Cracker and Polymer Limited (BCPL) Managing Director Pranjal Changmai has identified cybersecurity and data protection as major challenges facing the company, saying that measures are being taken to strengthen its digital security systems.
Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Changmai said the company was taking steps to prevent cyber threats and address concerns related to data security.
“Cyber security is a huge challenge for us, but we have started taking steps to prevent it. Data security is also a challenge for the industry. We are taking all possible measures to address the existing problems,” he said.
He noted that cybersecurity threats had become a global concern, with industries across the world facing increasing risks. Referring to recent developments, Changmai said BCPL’s team was working to strengthen its defences against potential attacks.
BCPL records strong financial performance in FY26
Meanwhile, BCPL has reported a strong financial performance for the financial year 2025–26, achieving 106% capacity utilisation and a Profit After Tax (PAT) of Rs 117.67 crore against revenue from operations of Rs 3,725.53 crore.
Changmai said the performance reflected the company’s operational efficiency and financial resilience despite challenging conditions in the global petrochemical industry.
He pointed out that the year was marked by volatility in the energy and petrochemical sectors, driven by geopolitical developments, fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas prices, supply-chain uncertainties and changing global trade dynamics. These factors affected feedstock costs and polymer margins.
Despite the challenges, BCPL maintained uninterrupted, safe and reliable operations while running its plant above its rated capacity.
The company’s continued AA+ credit rating reflects its financial position and creditworthiness, while the growth in net worth indicates its financial discipline, prudent management and operational strength, Changmai said.
Brahma-Lene and Brahma-Pol strengthen market presence
Changmai also highlighted the growing market presence of BCPL’s polymer brands, Brahma-Lene and Brahma-Pol, which have gained acceptance among customers across different market segments.
He said the Northeast remained an important market for the company, while exports to neighbouring countries, particularly Bangladesh and Bhutan, had helped expand its reach beyond India.
BCPL’s polymer sales in the Northeast increased to 48,140 metric tonnes in 2025–26, compared with 43,841 metric tonnes in the previous financial year.
The company has recorded substantial growth in regional sales over the years, from 5,511 metric tonnes in 2016–17 and 21,574 metric tonnes in 2017–18 to the latest figure of 48,140 metric tonnes in 2025–26.
The growth highlights the expanding market for BCPL’s polymer products in the Northeast and the company’s increasing presence in the regional market.
