July 2026 : BPCL has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Oemeta Chemische Werke GmbH, a renowned German pioneer in industrial fluid technology. The cross-border collaboration is explicitly designed to introduce next-generation metalworking fluid technologies to the rapidly expanding Indian market.

The strategic agreement was formally signed by Mr. S. Kannan, Business Head (Lubes), BPCL, and Mr. Stefan Joksch, Managing Director - Technology and Production, Oemeta Chemische Werke GmbH.

By uniting Oemeta's established global expertise in specialized chemical formulations with BPCL’s robust in-house R&D strengths and massive domestic network, the partnership aims to deliver advanced metalworking fluid solutions tailored to the exacting demands of modern Indian machine shops and heavy industries. These high-performance fluids are essential for cooling, lubricating, and improving the efficiency of metal cutting and shaping processes across the automotive, aerospace, and general engineering sectors.

As global manufacturers increasingly look to establish footprints in India, this alliance ensures that domestic workshops will have direct access to world-class fluid technology, driving operational efficiency, extending tool life, and reinforcing the foundations of the "Make in India" initiative.
