MR Sarthak Behuria has taken over as Chairman and Managing Director of Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd. He takes over from Mr U. Sundararajan, who retired earlier this year.

Mr Behuria, who has been with BPCL since 1973, held the office of Director (Marketing) in the company.

He is also the Director (Operations) of the Oil Coordination Committee, a news release says.

Mr Behuria was appointed BPCL's Executive Director (Sales) in June 1995. According to the company release, he has contributed to building BPCL's corporate image through "massive upgradation of retail outlets''.
