Gulf Oil renews its strategic partnership with Bajaj Auto

Gulf Oil Lubricants India (Gulf Oil), a leading lubricant manufacturer today announced that it has renewed its strategic partnership with Bajaj Auto for three years.

The agreement has been extended to manufacture exclusive, Bajaj Genuine Engine oils for Bajaj two-wheelers. Gulf Oil says it is already supplying lubricants for Bajaj Auto’s international markets across more than 20 countries.

The agreement was signed by Sarang Kanade, president Motorcycle Business Unit, Bajaj Auto and Ravi Chawla, MD, Gulf Oil Lubricants India in Pune.

Ravi Chawla said, “I am glad to renew the agreement with Bajaj Auto. Our association with the brand started in 2016.

The extension of agreement further demonstrates our commitment to deliver the highest quality products and services that add value to our clients.”

Sarang Kanade said, “We are glad to extend our partnership with Gulf Oil.
