"FY25 has been a strong year for Castrol India, marked by sustained volume-led growth over the past eight quarters and gain in market share. This performance has been driven by disciplined execution of our strategy: Scaling up the industrial business and expanding distribution in rural India, both of which delivered double-digit year-on-year growth. We moved at pace, launching new products to better serve needs of the market and we continued to strengthen our relations with key OEMs from across the automotive sector. In a year marked with volatile operating environment, we worked with agility to manage operating margins while staying focused on executing our strategy to drive growth. As Castrol globally enters its next phase, our approach in India remains unchanged—grow the business by staying close to customers, proactively respond to changes in the operating environment, and execute with discipline,” said Mr. Saugata Basuray, Interim Chief Executive Officer, Castrol India Limited.

In recognition of Castrol India’s strong performance to date, the Board has recommended a final dividend of ₹5.25 per share (face value ₹5 each) for the financial year ended 31 December 2025, subject to shareholder approval at the 48th Annual General Meeting. With this, the total dividend for FY25 stands at ₹8.75 per share, reflecting the Company’s commitment to its shareholders for their continued support over the past four decades, while maintaining a strong and resilient balance sheet.

“The past year was a year of solid financial delivery for Castrol India. Record volumes, and healthy cash generation came together to create a strong foundation for the business. This has allowed us to return value to shareholders consistently, even as we continued to invest behind our brands, people and distribution strength. The dividend recommended by the Board is a reflection of both the year we’ve just closed and our confidence in the fundamentals of the business as we look ahead,” said, Mrs. Mrinalini Srinivasan, Chief Financial Officer, Castrol India Limited.

Commenting on the future, Mr. Basuray said, “As we look ahead, we expect India’s mobility landscape to evolve steadily rather than change overnight. Internal combustion and hybrid engines will continue to form the backbone of the market, even as demand grows for newer technologies. Sustained economic growth and low per capita penetration of cars and two wheelers are expected to drive lubricant demand in personal mobility, while government-led manufacturing initiatives should support growth in the industrial segment. At the same time, competitive pressure and volatility in raw material costs and currency movement are realities we will continue to manage. Our response is clear—strengthen the core, accelerate supply chain localisation, and grow in adjacencies where customers are seeking more value. With our scale, distribution reach and strong brands, we believe Castrol India is well positioned to adapt to these shifts and continue building a resilient, future-ready business.”
