Five-Year Extension for Operational Continuity

Jindal Stainless and Indian Oil Corporation Limited have extended their long-term association to optimize industrial lubrication and energy requirements. The renewed arrangement focuses on the Vendor Managed Inventory model, designed to enhance equipment reliability and operational efficiency at Jindal Stainless' manufacturing facilities. This renewal follows the company's robust financial performance in FY26, where it reported an annual turnover of INR 42,955 crore.

The agreement was formally executed at the Hisar unit in the presence of senior executives from both organizations, reinforcing a shared commitment to technical excellence and dependable supply solutions as industry requirements evolve.

Scope of Energy and Lubricant Supplies

  • Renewal of the Consumer's Operated Lube Depot's (COLD) facility agreement
  • Continuous supply of high-end SERVO lubricants for challenging industrial applications
  • Provision of essential fuels including Light Diesel Oil (LDO) and High Speed Diesel (HSD)
  • Supply of Low Sulphur Heavy Stock (LSHS) and Propane for energy needs
  • Integration of technical cooperation to address evolving stainless steel manufacturing needs
  • Focus on cost competitiveness through streamlined inventory management

Strategic Roadmap and Capacity Expansion

This partnership renewal aligns with Jindal Stainless' broader growth trajectory, which includes a targeted sales volume of 3.5 MTPA by FY29. The company has been active in securing strategic alliances, such as the September 2026 technical assistance agreement with Japan's JFE Steel Corporation and a September 2025 MoU with the Maharashtra government for a mega 4 MTPA facility in Raigad valued at INR 41,580 crore. With a guided capital expenditure of INR 2,600 crore for FY27, the reliable supply of lubricants and fuels from IOCL is critical for supporting the commissioning of new downstream lines and maintaining the company's 4.2 million tonnes of annual melt capacity.

Our long-standing association with Indian Oil reflects the value of sustained collaboration between two organisations with a shared focus on quality, reliability and technical excellence. The renewal of this arrangement for another five years reinforces this relationship and provides an opportunity to deepen our engagement further.
