Gulf Streams Ahead: FY25 Ends with Slick Profits, Electrifying Growth, and a Dividend Shower

Mumbai:
It’s not just engines Gulf Oil is keeping well-lubricated — FY25 saw the company’s profits, revenue, and even shareholder smiles running smoother than a freshly serviced V8. Gulf Oil Lubricants India Ltd, part of the Hinduja Group and clearly having a greased lightning of a year, posted a 17.5% jump in profit after tax (PAT) — marking not just financial growth, but a full-throttle acceleration into the future.

Turbocharged Performance, Without the Emissions

With revenues hitting ₹3,554.36 crores — their highest ever — Gulf Oil isn’t just coasting on past glory. The company also hit record volume and EBITDA figures. In corporate terms, that’s the equivalent of popping a wheelie while sipping tea and filing taxes.

Meanwhile, PAT stood at ₹362.25 crores, making FY25 the boardroom equivalent of a podium finish. And if that wasn’t enough to make accountants high-five each other in joy, the company rolled out a final dividend of ₹28 per share, bringing the total dividend to a generous ₹48 per share. That’s 1,400% of the face value — or in simple terms, shareholder wallets just got a spa day.

Tirex: The Shocking Success

Gulf’s EV charger subsidiary Tirex put on its cape and went full superhero mode — growing revenue by a jaw-dropping 300% to ₹79 crores. They even managed ₹39 crores in Q4 alone, proving that while ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) may be cooling, Gulf’s EV ambitions are heating up faster than a toaster on a nitrous boost.

With future targets of ₹400-500 crores in the next few years, Tirex looks ready to spark a quiet revolution — albeit one humming with high-voltage ambition.

MS Dhoni, Romance, and Motorcycle Oil

Marketing went cinematic this year, with the relaunch of Gulf Pride — the flagship two-wheeler engine oil — featuring a romantic twist starring none other than Captain Cool himself, MS Dhoni. The ad campaign “Bike se pyaar rahega hamesha, naye jaisa” gave two-wheeler riders goosebumps (and possibly engine envy), all wrapped in a nostalgic soundtrack and packaging shinier than a freshly detailed fuel tank.

ESG: Earth, Sustainability, Gulf

Beyond profits and performance, Gulf also flexed its green muscles. From rainwater harvesting in Maharashtra to afforestation projects in Himachal and EV mechanic upskilling sessions in Mumbai, the company turned corporate responsibility into corporate responsi-bility. If dividends are for shareholders, then these efforts were high-octane karma points for the planet.

Accolades for Adrenaline

And in case you thought they were just being humble, let’s not forget the trophy shelf. Gulf Oil’s “Apni Naam Ki SUV” campaign drove home multiple awards — including silvers, bronzes, and a mall-sized dose of outdoor media glory. Meanwhile, Tirex charged into the limelight with accolades for manufacturing sustainable EV infrastructure and fleet solutions.


CEO Soundbite: Ravi Chawla, MD & CEO

“We didn’t just drive growth — we engineered it. From new campaigns to new technologies, we stayed true to our core while embracing a rapidly changing mobility landscape.”


CFO Mic Drop: Manish Gangwal

“Despite the rupee’s rollercoaster and the global economy’s plot twists, we stuck to our lane and delivered historic highs. Now we’re eyeing FY26 with optimism, upgraded software, and maybe even an extra charging cable.”


In sum, Gulf Oil’s FY25 performance proves that whether it’s lube, love for motorcycles, or lithium-powered chargers — the brand isn’t just moving with the times, it’s overtaking them… with a wink and a dividend.
