Gulf Oil Lubricants India Ltd. (GOLIL), one of India’s fastest-growing lubricant companies, is accelerating its presence in the infrastructure and construction sector through strategic alliances with leading equipment manufacturers ACE, Ammann India, and XCMG.
 
Commenting on the partnerships, Ravi Chawla, Managing Director & CEO of Gulf Oil Lubricants India, said, “Infrastructure has been a strategic focus area for Gulf for over 15 years, and these partnerships mark a significant step forward in strengthening our presence in this growing sector. 
 
"By working closely with leading OEMs like ACE, Ammann, and XCMG, among others, we are able to deliver application-specific, future-ready lubricant solutions for new generation equipments that help customers improve equipment reliability, reduce downtime, and optimize total cost of ownership. We firmly believe that long-term value is built through strong, enduring partnerships.”
 
Building on its long-standing relationship with ACE, Gulf has introduced new additions to the ACE Genuine Oil Range. These lubricants, designed for ACE’s wide range of cranes, backhoe loaders, compactors, motor graders, forklifts, tractors, and harvesters, are specifically engineered for real-world Indian operating conditions.
 
Gulf’s collaboration with Ammann India, a dominant player in road construction equipment with over 60% market share in asphalt mixing plants, positions Gulf as the official lubricants partner for Ammann’s full equipment range. 
 
High-performance products under the Ammann Genuine Oil range will support contractors and infrastructure developers with enhanced uptime, extended service life, and sustainable operations. The partnership also aims to co-develop specialized lubricants for Ammann’s next-generation equipment.
 
In addition, Gulf has joined hands with XCMG, a global leader in construction machinery, to launch XCMG-branded genuine lubricants in India, reflecting a shared commitment to local manufacturing, tailored solutions, and deep application expertise.
 
These partnerships expand Gulf’s portfolio of OEM-approved lubricants designed to improve equipment reliability, reduce downtime, and optimize total cost of ownership across diverse and demanding operating environments. 
 
Currently, Gulf maintains over 50 OEM associations across automotive, industrial, and construction sectors, providing expert product selection, on-ground technical services, and customized solutions that have driven consistent double-digit growth.
