The lubricants market in India is experiencing significant growth, driven by the rapid expansion of manufacturing for both domestic and export purposes. Government initiatives to boost manufacturing have attracted global players and encouraged local companies to expand, increasing demand for high-performance industrial lubricants. Over the past five years, there has been a shift towards technologically advanced lubricants that enhance performance and meet environmental sustainability goals. However, customers face challenges like managing multiple suppliers, streamlining operations, and reducing costs without sacrificing performance. Castrol, originally founded as ‘CC Wakefield & Company’ in 1899, revolutionized the lubricants industry with its innovative castor oil-based motor oil. Over the years, it has evolved into a global leader in lubrication solutions, dedicated to enhancing operational efficiency and advancing sustainable mobility technologies for diverse sectors.
