Given the diverse nature of our business, we serve a wide range of customers, right from individuals and households to industrial consumers and institutional consumers in domestic and international markets. At IndianOil, we strive to fulfil the energy requirements of the nation through a diverse portfolio of products and services.
During the year under review, we continued to integrate our digital platforms and technologies, such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM) portal and chatbots, to serve our customers better. We also leveraged various social media platforms to connect with our customers, create awareness about our products and gain insight about their needs and requirements.
We also associated with third-party agencies to conduct customer feedback surveys and gain independent reviews. Further, we leveraged our vast network of dealers and sales staff across the country to regularly stay in touch with our customers. It allowed us to gather meaningful insight into customer requirements, expectations and feedback. These enabled us to further improve our operations and introduce new and improved products.
At IndianOil, we generally conduct customer meets at regular intervals. Owing to the pandemic, however, they were not conducted this year. Nonetheless, we remained connected with our customers through e-mails, phone calls and virtual meetings, and extended necessary support and assistance to them.

Our suppliers and business partners play a vital role in supporting our efforts to ensure uninterrupted fuel supply for millions of customers daily. We strive to conduct our business in an ethical, responsible and transparent manner. IndianOil closely works with various small and big suppliers and business partners, across the value chain. We align our practices with the Government of India’s vision of ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ and therefore, source material and services from local vendors and suppliers.
During these challenging times, we maintained a strong connect with our suppliers and business partners and extended necessary help, as and when required. On a regular basis, we also conducted vendor engagement programmes to ensure smooth and efficient communication with them. Important information related to the requirement of materials in the near future and relevant policy changes were conveyed to them, along with a clear communication of mutual expectations and ways to overcome challenges.
Further, we launched an e-site for suppliers and business partners to help them gather information about our requirements. Likewise, we also launched an e-site to understand their challenges and grievances, and to address their queries. These initiatives enabled us to further strengthen our relationship with suppliers and business partners, creating the foundation for mutual trust and shared success.

Our ability to deliver operational excellence is supported by our strong financial performance and our ability to create value for our shareholders. Our track record of fulfilling financial targets on time, issuance of bonus shares from time to time and high dividend pay-out for our shareholders on a year-on-year basis, stand as a testimony to our value creation philosophy.
We also constantly strive to maintain a strong corporate governance framework and improve disclosures and communication to help stakeholders understand our business model, strategies and performance parameters. We engage with our shareholders and investors through press releases, press conferences, concalls and direct communication through emails. The investor section of the corporate website also provides valuable information. We have also established a dedicated Investor service cell to swiftly address grievances and/or queries of our share and debenture holders.
