This initiative aligns with the company's vision for a sustainable future. The new subsidiary will be capitalized with an initial equity investment of Rs 1,304 crore. As part of this plan, IndianOil also aims to develop 1 gigawatt (GW) of renewable energy capacity across India in phases. This renewable energy push will include standalone ground-mounted solar, onshore wind, or wind-solar hybrid projects, with an estimated total cost of Rs 5,215 crore including taxes and duties.

Furthermore, IOCL is making significant strides in supporting India's shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) by installing charging stations and battery-swapping facilities at their fuel outlets. Additionally, their collaboration with Panasonic to manufacture Lithium-ion cells in India will address the growing need for EV batteries and energy storage. These efforts not only diversify Indian Oil's energy portfolio but also actively contribute to the country's green energy goals, solidifying their commitment to providing comprehensive and future-oriented energy solutions for India.
