Earlier this year, Indian Oil established Terra Clean to consolidate green initiatives, optimize resource allocation, and enhance innovation with an equity investment of ₹13.04 billion (~$15.63 million). The subsidiary company aims to offer a diverse portfolio of renewable energy projects with an initial 1 GW installed capacity.

Recently, Indian Oil’s Refineries Division invited bids for the annual operation and maintenance contract of the 4,360 kW rooftop solar systems installed at IOCL, Paradip Refinery & Township, in Odisha.

In April 2024, Indian Oil issued a tender for the engineering, procurement, and construction of a 1 MW grid-connected open access captive solar power project at its Northern Region Pipelines in Kurukshetra, Haryana. The project also includes one year of complete operation and maintenance (O&M) services following construction and an additional nine years of extended operation and maintenance support.

In January 2024, IOCL invited bids for the O&M of an existing 1.1 MW solar power project at Indane Bottling Plant, Devanagonthi village in Bengaluru Rural district in Karnataka. The project is valued at ₹1.3 million (~$16,172) for one year.
