We report measurements of London penetration depth $\lambda(T)$ for the noncentrosymmetric superconductor BiPd by using a tunnel diode oscillator. Pronounced anisotropic behavior is observed in the low-temperature penetration depth; the in-plane penetration depth $\lambda_{ac}(T)$ follows an exponential decrease, but the interplane penetration depth $\lambda_b(T)$ shows power-law-type behavior. The superfluid density $\rho_s(T)$, converted from the penetration depth $\lambda(T)$, is best fitted by an anisotropic two-band BCS model. We argue that such a complex order parameter is attributed to the admixture of spin-singlet and spin-triplet pairing states as a result of antisymmetric spin-orbit coupling in BiPd.
