Tata Motors and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL), a Maharatna Oil Marketing Company, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to pilot a structured and scalable model for the responsible collection and recycling of used automotive lubricants. This collaboration brings together the complementary strengths of two leading Indian organisations to address a critical sustainability challenge, while supporting compliance with India’s evolving Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) framework and advancing the country’s circular economy goals.
The initiative aims to establish an organized and traceable system for managing used lubricants-classified as hazardous waste, from collection and storage to recycling. The process will enable conversion into high-quality re-refined base oil, improving resource efficiency and reducing environmental risk. The pilot is expected to set new benchmarks for responsible waste management and support India’s transition towards a circular, resource-efficient economy.
Under the partnership, HPCL will anchor the aggregation and transportation of used lubricants through authorised collection mechanisms, ensuring channelisation to registered recyclers. Tata Motors will leverage its extensive authorized service network to enable structured collection and promote responsible disposal practices across its ecosystem.
Tata Motors (formerly TML Commercial Vehicles) is India’s largest and a globally renowned manufacturer of utility vehicles, pick-ups, trucks, and buses. In every market, its focus is on delivering value and partnering customers to success.
