Partnering with GP Petroleums Ltd, a brand with strong presence in the Indian lubricant market, has given us a firsthand advantage in this sector. With our strengths together, we extend our capabilities to globally distribute a wider variety of products,

On the other hand, another advantage that the tie-up will have is that the Repsol products have added benefits and special features, which will cater to the newly emerging premium as well as the top-end segment across the country. With GP Petroleums having well equipped facilities with special features like hi-tech blending facility, quality-control test labs as well as automated filling and packaging stations, the advantages are sure to benefit the Repsol brand too. So much so, the GP Petroleum in-house Base Oil Storage facility (17,000 KL) is one of the largest in the Indian industry, which helps to suffice annual production capacity of 80,000 KL at least.
