Addressing the challenges faced by the cement industry and with a vision to enhance overall operations, Mobil™ provides exceptional gear and bearing oils, which have been designed to provide outstanding results along with benefits in driving energy-efficiency.

India is currently witnessing an enhanced demand across sectors, including commercial and industrial construction. Fulfilling evolving market demand and as the second-largest producer of cement in the world, the Indian cement industry’s production capacity is expected to reach 550 MMT by 2025. Duly, businesses in the sector are increasingly focusing on adopting strategies that are efficient, productive and profitable as well as looking aggressively for solutions to address lubrication-related difficulties.

Mobil SHC™ 600 Series
Mobil SHC™ 600 Series is a formulation that has outstanding thermal stability and oxidation resistance. It can function well even in high-temperature conditions resulting in longer oil life, less frequent maintenance, and higher equipment uptime, all of which are essential for productivity in the demanding cement sector.
The Mobil SHC 600 Series also excels at protecting against severe pressure, protecting industrial gearboxes from wear, and ensuring smooth operation even under heavy loads and vibrations. It improves dependability and lowers the chance of unexpected downtime. These synthetic lubricants have also reduced energy consumption in gearboxes and have demonstrated up to 3.6 per cent improvement in energy efficiency in controlled laboratory testing*.
In a diverse country like India, where industries stumble upon varying climates and operating conditions, Mobil’s lubrication solutions are proving invaluable in combating issues such as high temperature, heavy loads. The series has earned the trust of companies in the cement industry with its established record in maximising engine life and minimising maintenance expenses. In a sector where operational excellence is non-negotiable, Mobil SHC 600 Series emerges as a catalyst for productivity, performance and profitability.

*Energy efficiency relates solely to the performance of Mobil SHC 600 when compared to conventional (mineral) reference oils of the same viscosity grade in circulating and gear applications. The technology used allows up to 3.6 per cent efficiency compared to the reference when tested in a worm gearbox under controlled conditions. Efficiency improvements will vary based on operating conditions and application.

The American Cement Association projects a nearly 1Mt annual increase in US cement demand over the next three years, driven by the surge in AI data centres. Consumption by data centres is expected to grow from 247,000 tonnes in 2025 to 860,000 tonnes by 2027. With over 5,400 AI data centres currently operating and numbers forecast to exceed 6,000 by 2027, the association cautions that regulatory hurdles and labour shortages may impact the industry’s ability to meet demand.
