Saudi Arabia’s Petromin Express India has formed a partnership with HPCL to set up around 1,000 vehicle service centres at HPCL retail outlets in India, pledging to provide a world-class vehicle ownership experience to customers at affordable price points.
Petromin Corporation, a mobility solutions leader from Saudi Arabia, and HPCL will provide co-branded quick service outlets to offer a wide range of solutions under one roof – including HP lube change, light repairs, periodical maintenance, battery, tires, AC and eco car wash services at HPCL Retail Outlets across India.
The partnership agreement was signed by Sandeep Maheshwari, Executive Director Retail, HPCL, and Kalyana Sivagnanam, Group CEO of Petromin Corporation, on 16 June 2023 in Bengaluru.
