For thousands of automotive retailers and distributors in India, lubricant procurement remains one of the most time-consuming and inefficient parts of the business. Despite lubricants being a high-demand product, sourcing engine oil, gear oil, and automotive lubricants reliably—at the right price and quality—continues to be a daily challenge, especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets.
The Ground Reality of Lubricant Sourcing in India
Traditionally, retailers depend on local distributors or travel to nearby hubs for engine oil procurement. This often leads to:
Loss of business hours due to travel
Shop closures during peak demand
Inconsistent lubricant pricing across regions
Frequent stockouts of fast-moving lubricant brands
For low-margin products like automotive lubricants, high logistics costs and poor supply visibility directly reduce profitability.
Pricing Inconsistency & Low Margins in Lubricants
Lubricant prices vary widely across states due to fragmented lubricant supply chains in India. Retailers in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities often pay more, while distributors struggle with rising logistics costs and delayed payments. This makes lubricant distribution a high-volume, low-margin business where efficiency is critical.
Counterfeit Lubricants: A Growing Risk
The Indian market faces a serious issue of fake engine oils and counterfeit lubricants. Without access to verified suppliers, retailers risk stocking substandard products—hurting customer trust and long-term growth. Ensuring genuine automotive lubricants has become as important as competitive pricing.
Cash Flow Challenges for Distributors & Retailers
Delayed settlements and credit dependency continue to impact automotive distributors and lubricant suppliers. Slow cash cycles restrict inventory planning and business expansion, especially for small and mid-sized traders.
