Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) is India’s flagship national oil company with its business interests spanning the entire hydrocarbon value chain – from refining, pipeline transportation and marketing of petroleum products to exploration and production of crude oil and gas and marketing of natural gas and petrochemicals. It is the leading Indian corporate in the Fortune ‘Global 500’ listing, ranked at the 96th position in the year 2014.

BLAZE TO BRILLIANCE
At Indian Oil, operations are strategically structured along business verticals – refineries, pipelines, marketing, R&D centre and business development, E&P, petrochemicals and natural gas. To achieve the next level of growth, IOC is currently forging ahead on a well laid out road map through vertical integration— upstream into oil exploration and production (E&P) and downstream into petrochemicals – and diversification into natural gas marketing and alternative energy, besides globalisation of its downstream operations.
