The company said the quarter's performance was driven by supply chain agility, brand strength and disciplined execution across its consumer, industrial and institutional businesses despite supply disruptions and severe commodity inflation. Industrial, institutional and consumer businesses delivered strong volume growth, while its power brands in the personal mobility segment continued to outperform the rest of the portfolio, supported by increasing consumer preference for high-performance lubricants. Castrol also leveraged its global supply chain and diversified vendor base to ensure uninterrupted supplies amid raw material availability and pricing challenges.
Looking ahead, management said it remains cautious due to inflationary pressures and uneven monsoon conditions that could impact demand in the second half of the year. The company plans to continue investing in its brands, expanding its distribution network, strengthening customer relationships and increasing its presence in rural India.

Saugata Basuray, executive director and CEO (interim), Castrol India, said, “The first quarter reflects strong momentum as we continue to execute our growth strategy. We expanded deeper into rural India, tapping village clusters with a population below 20,000, with our rural portfolio growing at double digits. In urban markets, we sharpened our focus on premium brands, driving distribution and activations in high-density consumption areas and delivering double-digit volume and value growth. Our industrial business also sustained its double-digit growth. All of this has translated into continued market share gains and reinforces that our strategy is delivering.”
He added, “While the underlying momentum in the business remains strong, the external environment is becoming increasingly volatile. We remain confident in our strategy and will continue to respond with agility and discipline, balancing near-term actions with a clear focus on long-term growth.”
Mrinalini Srinivasan, chief financial officer and whole-time director, Castrol India, said, “Towards the end of the quarter, we saw early signs of external headwinds on currency and on raw material costs driven by geopolitical events. We are proactively positioning the business to navigate a more volatile and inflationary environment through calibrated pricing, cost discipline, and stronger supply resilience. As we respond, we will continue to expand distribution and invest in our premium brands while staying agile and protecting the fundamentals of the business.”
