**Industrial Lubricant End Users**

Construction and Mining, General Manufacturing, Power Generation, Metal Production, Food Processing, Cement and Others.

**Mineral Lubricants**

This includes all naturally occurring oils, used for automotive and industrial purposes and provides the least protection to engine components.

**Synthetic Lubricants**

This includes well refined oils which are blended with different additives to obtain the required characteristics for using them in automotive and industrial segments.

**Semi-Synthetic Lubricants**

This consists of lubes that are an amalgamation of both mineral and synthetic oils, having both automotive and industrial applications.

**Passenger Car Motor Oils**

Passenger car motor oil additives are designed to protect and enhance the performance of engines in cars and light-duty trucks that operate with gasoline, diesel fuel or alternative fuel sources such as ethanol.

**Hydraulic Oils**

A hydraulic fluid or hydraulic liquid is the medium by which power is transferred in hydraulic machinery. Common hydraulic fluids are based on mineral oil or water.

**Gear Oils and Transmission Fluids**

Automatic transmission fluid is a type of detergent oil that helps remove debris. It is also hydraulic oil that is a lot thinner than gear oil and flows much faster.

**Greases**

The term grease is used to describe semi-solid lubricants. The characteristic feature of greases is that they possess a high initial viscosity, which upon the application of shear, drops to give the effect of an oil-lubricated bearing of approximately the same viscosity as the base oil used in the grease

**Dealers and Distributors**

Lubricants dealers and distributors include entities which perform import/export of lube oils and also sell them to other small and large retailers within the country. They house both branded and non-branded products.

**Direct Sales and Dealer Network**

Direct sales of lubricants occur when the manufacturer sells products directly to the end-user/company without any involvement of dealers and distributors whereas; dealer-led sales refer to the sale of lube via manufacturer’s exclusive dealers and distributors located in different regions of the country.
