GP Petroleums Limited announced that its joint venture company, Amron Oil Resources Pvt Ltd, has been selected by Indian Oil Corporation Ltd as the operating partner for IOCL’s bitumen cell at Pipavav. Amron Oil Resources is a 50:50 joint venture between GP Petroleums and West Coast Oils LLP. The company manufactures a range of speciality bitumen products, including bitumen emulsions, Polymer Modified Bitumen (PMB) and Crumb Rubber Modified Bitumen (CRMB). These products play a critical role in road construction, highway development and transport infrastructure projects across India.
Operations Commence at Pipavav Facility
Bulk bitumen dispatches from the Pipavav facility began on June 4, 2026. IndianOil inaugurated the facility under its SPRINT 2026 Mission Excellence initiative, which focuses on improving operational efficiency and strengthening infrastructure capabilities. GP Petroleums expects the Pipavav bitumen cell to significantly improve the supply of speciality bitumen products across Gujarat and neighbouring regions.
In addition, the facility’s strategic location near Pipavav Port is likely to:
Enhance logistics efficiency
Reduce transportation lead times
Support faster delivery for infrastructure projects
Improve supply chain responsiveness
Strengthening GP Petroleums’ Infrastructure Presence
By securing the operating partnership, Amron Oil Resources expands GP Petroleums’ footprint in the speciality bitumen segment. The development also strengthens the company’s participation in India’s rapidly growing road, highway and transport infrastructure sector. As reported by businessworld.in, as infrastructure investments continue to rise across the country, the Pipavav partnership positions GP Petroleums to benefit from increasing demand for advanced bitumen solutions used in modern road construction.
