Jio-bp Retail Outlets to Distribute Castrol Lubricants Pan India

With an aim to enhance visibility and reach for its products and solutions, Mumbai-headquartered Castrol India Ltd on Tuesday said that its well know product offering ‘Castrol lubricants’ will now be available at Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) and bp joint venture (JV) company, Jio-bp, retail outlets on pan India basis.

However, the decision to make Castrol lubricants available across the network was taken last year, when the joint venture was first announced.

Initially, the lubricants will be supplied to JV’s fuel retailing network spread across 1,400 locations, and is expected to grow to 5,500 locations within 5 years.

Recently in July 2020, the two powerful industry icons, RIL and bp, completed the formation of their new pan-India fuels and mobility JV, Reliance BP Mobility Ltd (RBML). Thus, RIL’s existing locations will be rebranded to Jio-bp in due course.

Commenting on the development, Sandeep Sangwan, Managing Director, Castrol India Ltd, said that “Castrol India is delighted to be a part of the Jio-bp network. We will offer a premium experience to our consumers, bringing innovative value-added solutions as together we look to transform the Indian mobility sector.”

In the coming weeks, Castrol products will be available at RBML retail network, the company assured its customers.

“Jio-bp puts consumers at the center of its universe and will offer them differentiated products and services to set new benchmarks in mobility solutions. I am confident that Castrol’s cutting-edge lubricants, together with our fuels and convenience offers, will deliver best in class experience for Indian consumers visiting our outlets,” said Harish C Mehta, CEO, Reliance BP Mobility Ltd.
