Castrol India and HPCL Sign MoU to Develop Re-Refined Base Oil Ecosystem

🟢 POSITIVE ⭐ 6/10

EXPANSION 📅 27 Jan 2026, 10:59 AM

Castrol India has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with HPCL to explore the development of a Re-Refined Base Oil (RRBO) ecosystem in India.

This initiative aligns with global sustainability trends and could potentially optimize raw material costs in the long term.

MoU signed with HPCL to evaluate the technical and commercial feasibility of a circular RRBO model.
Re-refining technology can recover up to 70-80% of used oil as high-quality base oil.
The process is significantly more energy-efficient than refining virgin base oils from crude oil.
Castrol India to leverage its extensive network of over 150,000 retail outlets for potential collection.
Immediate assessment phase includes mapping collection channels and testing RRBO suitability for formulations.
