India’s leading lubricant manufacturers are expanding beyond traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) oils, focusing on opportunities in electric mobility and digital infrastructure as the industry adapts to long-term shifts in demand.
Castrol India, a key player in the sector, has identified electric vehicle (EV) fluids as a core pillar of its future strategy. Its Castrol ON range—which includes coolants, transmission fluids, and greases—is already being deployed across Tata Motors’ EV lineup.
In addition, the company is investing in thermal management solutions for data centres, where rising demand driven by artificial intelligence (AI) applications is accelerating a shift towards liquid-based cooling systems. Castrol is partnering with global technology leaders to co-develop solutions for this rapidly growing segment.
