At BAUMA CONEXPO INDIA 2026 at India Expo Mart, Greater Noida, Shell Lubricants presented its comprehensive portfolio of lubrication and equipment reliability solutions tailored for the construction and mining sectors. The company also introduced Shell Rimula R4 Plus for off-highway applications, bringing the established performance of Shell Rimula Synthetic Technology to the demanding operating conditions of construction and mining equipment.
Engineered with Synthetic Technology, Shell Rimula R4 Plus is designed to deliver robust performance under demanding operating conditions, including high loads, elevated temperatures, extended operating hours and environments exposed to contamination. The lubricant offers up to two times greater protection against corrosion, deposits and wear, while helping reduce top-up requirements by up to 40%, supporting equipment protection and reliability across demanding construction and mining operations.
Shell gave a demonstration at the occasion of how contemporary lubrication solutions go beyond the lubricant itself, fusing cutting-edge goods with services enabled by technology to assist clients in enhancing equipment dependability and operational effectiveness. The display featured on-site lubrication bay solutions, Shell Lube VideoCheck, an endoscopic service intended to evaluate engine condition, and the Shell Gadus line of advanced greases linked with Shell Tactic ALS automatic lubrication systems. When taken as a whole, these services are intended to assist clients in minimising downtime, enhancing maintenance procedures, and optimising equipment performance.
Backed by more than 5,000 OEM approvals worldwide across its product portfolio and extensive technical expertise, Shell Lubricants is combining its global capabilities with solutions tailored to the Indian market. The approach is aimed at helping customers unlock greater value as India’s construction and mining sectors continue to evolve
According to Kline & Company’s global lubricants market assessment, Shell has retained its position as the world’s leading supplier of finished lubricants for 19 consecutive years. Building on this global standing, India continues to be an important growth market for Shell Lubricants, with opportunities spanning construction, mining, road transport, agriculture, power generation, general manufacturing and engineering.
Shell’s operation in India integrates local skills with worldwide lubricant technology and product development knowledge. Along with local production, sector-specific goods and services, customer and OEM collaboration, and a wide distributor network, the company maintains a global R&D center in Bengaluru. Shell’s “Proudly Made in India” slogan is reinforced by the fact that its lubricants are produced locally at its mixing plant in Taloja, Maharashtra.
