India Automotive Lubricant Market Trends:

Advancements in Lubricant Technology

Technological innovations are reshaping the automotive lubricant landscape in India, leading to the development of high-performance and environmentally friendly products. The introduction of synthetic and bio-based lubricants is meeting the demand for superior engine protection and reduced environmental impact. These lubricants offer enhanced performance, longer oil change intervals, and improved fuel efficiency. In October 2023, BPCL, in partnership with Chevron, launched Caltex lubricants in India, introducing premium products under the Caltex brand, such as Chevron’s proprietary Havoline and Delo lubricant lines. This collaboration aims to enhance the lubricant offerings in the Indian market. Furthermore, ExxonMobil announced a USD 110 Million investment to establish a lubricant manufacturing factory in Raigad, Maharashtra, India. The new factory is projected to generate 159,000 kiloliters of lubricants per year to address the country's increasing lubricant demand. This strategic step enables the firm to create India-specific lubricants and position itself as a high-performance lubricant provider in the nation. These advancements demonstrate the industry's dedication to innovation, sustainability, and addressing consumers' changing expectations in the automotive lubricant business.

Impact of Electric Vehicle (EV) Adoption

The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) in India is influencing the automotive lubricant market, leading to both challenges and opportunities. Government initiatives, such as the Electric Mobility Promotion Scheme with a budget of ₹500 crore (approximately USD 60.18 Million), are driving the growth of green mobility and boosting electric vehicle production in India. This shift is reshaping the market by reducing the demand for conventional lubricants. While EVs require less engine lubrication, there is a growing need for specialized fluids to manage battery cooling and electrical components. Additionally, India is establishing itself as a key global hub for auto component sourcing, with the industry exporting over 25% of its total production each year. This growing export activity is further driving market expansion. In addition to this, lubricant manufacturers are innovating to develop products tailored for EVs, such as coolants and greases compatible with electric drivetrains, to meet the evolving market demands. The transition to EVs is prompting the lubricant industry to adapt by creating specialized products, thereby sustaining market growth amidst changing automotive technologies.
