The group owns and operates a Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC) Plant that was engineered, designed and erected under the direct supervision of Engineers India Limited. It was commissioned and became operational in 1975. Petro Carbon and Chemicals Limited (PCCL) was incorporated in September 2007 and was subsequently acquired, revamped and upgraded in May 2008. Since then, the group has successfully in evolved PCCL into a siginificant CPC player in the Indian market. Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC) is produced by calcining Raw Petroleum Coke (RPC). which is derived from the Coker unit in a crude oil refinery. CPC is primaerily used in the production of anodes for aluminium smelting and is also used in dioxide industry, steel and titanium.(used in the titanium dioxide, steel, and titanium industries.).
The Plant has a capacity of approximately 0.93-750 MTPA of CPC and spans around 30 acres. It is equipped with robust infrastructure, like railway siding to facilitate the unloading and loading of wagons, as well as yard and shed facilities for storing raw petroleum coke and calcined petroleum coke.
PCCL got listed on the NSE SME Emerge Platform on 2nd July, 2024.
PCCL is strategically located within the port with direct access to all major modes of transportation. It enjoys a significant advantage due to its 30 acres of prime land at one of the busiest ports in eastern India, along with private railway sidings within the factory premises—making it an ideal setup for a group focused on bulk commodities, The plant is virtually situated on National Highway 41 and is well connected by road to key states such as Odisha, Jharkhand, and Madhya Pradesh. Haldia Port offers minimal ship waiting time and a low turnaround time for vessels up to 230 meters in length and 32 meters in width, which are easily accommodated at the port. The port has 13 berths, 7 of which are exclusively dedicated to coal and coke handling.

The calcination process generates a considerable volume of hot flue gases, ranging from 58,000 to 64,000 Nm³/hr at temperatures between 850°C and 900°C. To effectively and sustainably utilize these flue gases, PCCL has established a 10 MW Waste Heat-Based Power Plant. This initiative not only reduces overall carbon emissions but also mitigates the local environmental impact in the plant's surrounding area By generating clean energy from a non-conventional source (waste flue gases), PCCL contributes to fulfilling Renewable Energy (RE) obligations and Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) targets of the state's distribution licensees. PCCL has entered into a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (WBSEDCL) for the sale of power. A portion of the generated electricity will also be utilized to support PCCL’s future expansion projects.
