Mumbai, Jan 12: Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IndianOil), the country’s flagship energy major, and Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL), India’s largest passenger vehicle manufacturer, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enhance customer convenience by establishing Maruti Suzuki service facilities at select IndianOil fuel stations nationwide, officials said on Monday.

The collaboration aims to integrate refuelling and vehicle servicing, offering customers scheduled periodic maintenance and minor repairs at the same locations where they refuel. This initiative is expected to create a seamless, one-stop solution for millions of Maruti Suzuki car owners, combining energy and mobility services under one roof.

IndianOil, with its extensive retail presence of over 41,000 fuel stations across India, will provide the infrastructure to strengthen Maruti Suzuki’s existing network of more than 5,780 service touchpoints. The partnership is designed to improve accessibility, reduce service turnaround times, and deliver greater peace of mind to customers throughout their ownership journey.

Speaking on the occasion, Saumitra P. Srivastava, Director (Marketing), IndianOil, said, “IndianOil is committed to enhancing the customer experience at our fuel stations through value-added services. By partnering with Maruti Suzuki, we are integrating world-class automotive maintenance with our energy offerings, bringing essential services closer to consumers.”

Ram Suresh Akella, Executive Officer (Service), Maruti Suzuki India Limited, added, “Our goal is to make car servicing as easy and convenient as possible. By leveraging IndianOil’s unmatched reach, we will take our after-sales service to locations frequently visited by customers. This collaboration marks a significant step in bringing the mobility and energy sectors together to deliver superior customer care.”

Industry experts note that the partnership reflects a growing trend of cross-sector collaborations aimed at enhancing customer convenience and building integrated service ecosystems. By combining the strengths of IndianOil’s nationwide presence and Maruti Suzuki’s automotive expertise, the initiative is expected to set new benchmarks in after-sales service delivery.
