Opens new plant in Chennai, regional office in Bangalore
Close on the heels of the launch of its state-of-the-art commercial prod-uct manufacturing plant in Chennai a few weeks ago, Gulf Oil Lubricants India has opened its regional office in Bangalore early June.
In an exclusive interaction, Mr. Ravi Chawla, MD - Gulf Oil Lubricants India, touched upon points pertaining to the company focus on the southern markets, future trends and the far-yet-soon-to-be-real challenge called electric vehicles, among others.
Excerpts from the interaction: Welcoming New Kid On The Block
Our state-of-the-art plant in Chennai that was inaugurated a few weeks ago is a new start for the southern team, and this has been one of our strongest teams. We are happy to have this new office which is consumer-friendly and trade-friendly. We are sure that the energy levels of this vibrant and new space will help us collectively do even better. Most importantly, this is a place we believe where our team can enjoy working. This, for us, is a great new beginning.

We have invested about Rs. 200 crores of capital expenditure in our new commercial production plant at Ennore in Chennai. It boasts of state-of-the-art blending, packaging and storage systems. For us, it is not only about showcasing our manufacturing technology and offering a quality product, but is also about meeting our needs for future demand in terms of our volumes.
