2026 Key Themes
Tracking India’s Evolving Supply and Demand Balance+
India’s base oils landscape is shifting quickly as new domestic capacity comes online, imports recalibrate and regional trade flows adapt to changing economics. Sessions examines the fundamentals shaping supply and demand, from refinery expansions and re-refining growth to consumption trends across automotive, industrial, marine and specialty sectors. Explore what these dynamics mean for pricing, procurement strategies, long-term planning and India’s position within global markets.
Performance Upgrades, Premiumisation and the Push for Quality+
Lubricant quality expectations in India are rising fast, driven by OEM requirements, industrial modernisation and customer demand for longer drain intervals and higher efficiency. Discover how premiumisation is reshaping formulation strategies, product portfolios and base oil needs. Experts will discuss the shift towards higher-performance API groups, the integration of new additive technologies and how blenders can balance cost, compliance and performance in an increasingly competitive market.
Sustainability, Circularity and the Road to Cleaner Lubricants+
With India intensifying its focus on emissions reduction, waste management and energy efficiency, sustainability is becoming a commercial imperative for the lubricants value chain. Explore the role of re-refining, low-carbon alternatives, improved collection practices and cleaner formulations in meeting evolving expectations. Attendees will hear how producers, blenders and end-users are integrating sustainability into supply chains and what future policy, corporate commitments and customer behaviour mean for long-term investment and product innovation.
