A couple of weeks ago IndianOil, India's leading oil company, launched Octane 100 fuel in India. IndianOil is the first manufacturer in India to launch premium-grade 100 Octane petrol in the country. Called XP100, the premium petrol was launched across ten cities by Dharmendra Pradhan, Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas and Steel. Currently, normal petrol marketed in India has 91 Octane.
So the IndianOil’s premium grade petrol with 100 Octane is specially made to juice out better performance from the engines of really high-end bikes and cars, enhancing their fuel economy and engine life.
It exceeds IS-2796 (i.e, IS 2796: 2008 MOTOR GASOLINE ― SPECIFICATION. EURO IV/BHARAT STAGE IV EMISSION NORMS COMPLIANT. Read more about BS4 v/s BS6) specifications and is also an environment-friendly fuel with reduced tailpipe emissions. Indian Oil's 100 Octane petrol is designed to give faster acceleration, significantly boosts engine performance, provides better drive-ability, enhanced fuel economy and engine life. Well, this top-notch performance comes with a premium price, the XP100 petrol is priced at Rs 160/litre in Delhi NCR.
Worldwide, 100 Octane petrol has a niche market for high-end vehicles that demand high performance and hence is available very few countries, such as Germany, USA, Italy, Japan, Indonesia and Malaysia, among others.
It is also noteworthy that XP100 premium grade petrol has been produced at IndianOil’s Mathura Refinery using the indigenous Octamax technology developed in-house by IndianOil.
IndianOil has plans to launch the XP100 premium grade petrol in 15 cities across the country in two phases.
