Lubricant Companies

India is the 6th largest lubricant market in the world. Automobile accounts for most of the lubricant sales.
LubeNotes
CastrolLargest market share, owned by Castrol UK (subsidiary of BP)
ServoOwned by IOCL.
MAKBP’s lube marketing in Indian sub continent and middle east
VeedolOwned by tide water
HP lube Owned by HP, brands like Lal Ghoda and Milcy
EssoOwned by Exxon Mobil USA
PenzoilOwned by Shell
GulfOwned by Gulf oil India (Hinduja group)

Buying IOCL, HPCL, BPCL, etc would not make much sense if you like the lubricants as the lubricants are a small part of their sales.
Andre Yule and company holds 26% stake in Tide water, thus you can indirectly hold Tide water by buying Andrew Yule.
