Get Indian Oil Corporation Empanelment

IndianOil was born of the lofty vision of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, for self-sufficiency in the petroleum sector as a strategic need of a free nation. It was the foresight of KD Malaviya, the father of the oil industry in India, that led to the formation of two companies initially, and their well-conceived merger soon after, to form an integrated refining and marketing entity. Thereafter began a remarkable journey that has now crossed 50 golden milestones.

IndianOil has covered much ground in the past five decades: from a 0.75-million-tonnes-per-annum refinery at Guwahati in 1962 to a refining capacity of over 60 million tonnes per annum today. From the first pipeline connecting Guwahati to Siliguri in 1964 to a cross-country network spanning 10,000 km; from humble beginnings in installations transferred from the defence services to
a countrywide marketing network of about 35,000 touch points that sold over 66 million tonnes in 2008-09. The company went from an unimpressive, white washed shed in 1972 to Asia’s finest R&D institution in the downstream sector.
