Gulf Oil Lubricants India Ltd, one of India’s fastest-growing lubricant companies, has announced strategic partnerships with leading construction equipment manufacturers ACE – Action Construction Equipment Ltd, Ammann India and XCMG. These collaborations strengthen Gulf’s presence in the construction and infrastructure segment, in line with India’s accelerating infrastructure development.

The partnerships expand Gulf’s portfolio of OEM-approved lubricants, developed to improve equipment reliability, maximise uptime and optimise total cost of ownership in demanding operating environments.

Building on its long-standing association with ACE, Gulf has introduced new additions to the ACE Genuine Oil range. The lubricants are developed for ACE’s wide product portfolio, including cranes, backhoe loaders, compactors, motor graders, forklifts, tractors and harvesters, and are engineered for Indian operating conditions.

Strengthening its focus on road construction, Gulf has also entered into a strategic collaboration with Ammann India, a leading manufacturer of road construction equipment with over 60 per cent market share in asphalt mixing plants and a strong presence in pavers and compaction machinery. Under this partnership, Gulf becomes the official lubricants partner for Ammann’s entire equipment range, supplying high-performance products under the Ammann Genuine Oil range. The collaboration combines Ammann’s engineering expertise with Gulf’s lubrication technologies to enhance equipment uptime, extend service life and support sustainability for contractors and infrastructure developers. The association also aims to develop specialised lubricant formulations for Ammann’s upcoming and advanced equipment.

In addition, Gulf has partnered with XCMG, a global construction equipment manufacturer, to launch XCMG-branded genuine lubricants in India. These collaborations reflect a shared focus on Indian manufacturing, localisation and application-specific solutions.

Commenting on the partnerships, Ravi Chawla, Managing Director & CEO, Gulf Oil Lubricants India, said, “Infrastructure has been a strategic focus area for Gulf for over 15 years, and these partnerships represent an important step in strengthening our presence in this sector. Working closely with OEMs such as ACE, Ammann and XCMG enables us to deliver application-specific, future-ready lubricant solutions for new-generation equipment that improve reliability, reduce downtime and optimise total cost of ownership. We believe long-term value is created through strong, enduring partnerships.”
