ICR explores how advanced lubrication solutions are becoming critical enablers of reliability, resilience and environmental stewardship in the cement sector.

The Indian cement industry, a cornerstone of the nation’s infrastructure development, is experiencing significant growth. In 2023, India’s cement production reached 374.55 million tonnes, marking a 6.83 per cent year-on-year growth. Projections indicate that the market size will expand from 3.96 billion tonnes in 2023 to 5.99 billion tonnes by 2032, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7 per cent during 2024-32. This expansion underscores the increasing demand for efficient and sustainable operations within the sector.
In cement manufacturing, equipment such as kilns, crushers, vertical mills, ball mills, conveyors and fans operate under extreme temperatures, heavy loads and high dust exposure. These demanding conditions make proper lubrication not just essential, but mission-critical. Selecting the right type of lubricant and maintaining an effective lubrication regime can drastically improve machine uptime, reduce maintenance costs, and enhance plant safety. In many cases, lubricant-related failures account for a significant proportion of unplanned downtime, underscoring the value of a well-structured lubrication strategy.
The Indian cement sector is also undergoing a technological transformation, with increasing emphasis on automation, predictive maintenance and energy efficiency. In this evolving landscape, lubricants are no longer just consumables—they are enablers of performance, longevity and sustainability. With the growing availability of advanced lubricants and condition-monitoring technologies, Indian cement plants have the opportunity to optimise their lubrication practices in line with global standards. Additionally, tightening environmental regulations and sustainability goals are driving the shift toward eco-friendly lubricants and responsible usage practices, making lubrication management a key factor in both operational and environmental performance.
As the industry moves forward, there is a growing realisation that lubrication excellence can be a competitive differentiator. This article explores the critical role of lubricants in cement manufacturing, the latest technological advancements, the environmental considerations shaping lubricant use, and the challenges and opportunities for cement producers in India aiming to maximise equipment reliability and operational efficiency.

The role of lubricants in cement manufacturing
Cement manufacturing involves heavy-duty machinery operating under extreme conditions—high temperatures, heavy loads and continuous operations. Lubricants are essential in minimising friction, reducing wear and tear, and preventing equipment failures. Proper lubrication ensures that components such as kilns, crushers and grinding mills function optimally, thereby reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Moreover, the integration of advanced lubrication technologies has enabled predictive maintenance strategies. By monitoring lubricant conditions, operators can anticipate equipment issues before they escalate, allowing for timely interventions and uninterrupted production cycles.
“Lubricants play a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency and reliability of cement plant operations. High-performance lubricants reduce friction and wear in critical machinery such as crushers, kilns, mills, and conveyors, ensuring smoother operation and extending equipment life. By minimising mechanical breakdowns and unplanned downtime, they contribute to consistent production and lower maintenance costs. Additionally, specialised lubricants designed to withstand high temperatures, heavy loads, and dusty environments help maintain optimal performance under demanding conditions. Proper lubrication also improves energy efficiency by reducing power loss due to friction. In essence, the right lubrication strategy not only enhances equipment reliability and operational uptime but also supports overall cost-effectiveness and productivity in cement manufacturing,” says Hiten Ved, Sales Head, Royal Petro Specialities.
In addition to enhancing equipment longevity, lubricants are pivotal in ensuring uninterrupted production cycles. Cement manufacturing is a 24/7 operation, and any unexpected downtime due to mechanical failure can lead to significant financial losses. Lubricants with high thermal stability and oxidation resistance prevent the breakdown of oil films under intense heat, especially in applications like rotary kilns, vertical roller mills and clinker coolers. By reducing the likelihood of equipment seizures or breakdowns, these lubricants act as silent enablers of plant reliability and uptime.
Gaurav Mathur, Director and Chief Executive Officer, Global Technical Services, says, “Wall paintings in tombs show workers using water to move statues, indicating early recognition of lubrication. By 1400 BC, animal fat was used to lubricate chariot axles, ever since then mankind has been relentlessly working to improvise the efficiency of lubricants. Tribological advancements have propelled industrialisation in the world. Machines working in demanding environment need better performance, however merely just better lubricant that is made from highly refined base oils is not good enough. Mineral and synthetic base oils and advanced additives chemistry have given birth to advanced lubricants. These lubricants have better performance characteristics and longer service life.”
“However, the way lubrication is done is more critical and if lubrication is not performed in a proper way, highest performing lubricants would also under perform compared to the lowest specification product. Total Lubrication Management has to be implemented for better machine reliability, equipment availability and lower down time. Implementation of TLM has paid rich dividends in the industry. Pillars of TLM being, contamination free lubrication, regular testing of lubricants to access the lubricant and machine condition and regeneration of lubricants,” he adds.
Lubricants contribute directly to energy efficiency. Friction losses within rotating equipment can account for up to 30 per cent of the total energy consumption in certain plant areas. Advanced synthetic lubricants, with low traction coefficients and superior film strength, reduce this internal resistance, thus improving mechanical efficiency and lowering the plant’s overall energy footprint. As Indian cement plants pursue energy benchmarking and ISO 50001 certifications, the use of high-performance lubricants becomes an integral strategy in achieving energy conservation goals.
“The cement industry has many lubrication points that require NLGI Grade 2 grease that can be used in high temperature applications. These may include bearings on vibrating screens and roller mills; rotating joints on grinding units; and various shafts, pivots, and metal to metal contact points found throughout the plant. CorrLube™ VpCI® Lithium EP Grease has a dropping point of 360 °F (182 °C), allowing it to be used in a broad range of temperatures. For areas that need a slightly harder grease of NLGI Grade 3, EcoLine® Biobased Grease offers a
similar dropping point of 365 °F (185 °C), explain Julie Holmquist, Marketing Content Writer,
Cortec Corporation.

Market dynamics: growth and trends
The Indian industrial lubricants market was valued at $13.05 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $ 20.72 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 4.12 per cent. This growth is driven by the expanding industrial sector, increased mechanisation, and the adoption of advanced machinery requiring specialised lubricants.
In the cement sector specifically, the demand for high-performance lubricants is rising. The lubricants for cement market are estimated to be $ 2.5 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $ 3.9 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 5.3 per cent from 2026 to 2033. This surge is attributed to the need for lubricants that can withstand harsh operating conditions and enhance equipment reliability.

Advancements in lubrication technology
Recent years have witnessed significant advancements in lubrication technology tailored for the cement industry. Synthetic lubricants, known for their superior thermal stability and longer service life, are increasingly being adopted. These lubricants perform effectively under extreme temperatures and heavy loads, common in cement manufacturing processes.
Additionally, the development of bio-based lubricants offers environmentally friendly alternatives without compromising performance. These lubricants, derived from renewable sources, reduce the environmental footprint and align with global sustainability goals. Their biodegradability and low toxicity make them suitable for applications where environmental considerations are paramount.
Smart lubrication systems are another breakthrough in the cement industry. These systems use IoT-enabled sensors and controllers to monitor lubricant condition in real time—tracking parameters such as viscosity, temperature, contamination levels and usage. This data is integrated into plant maintenance software to automate lubricant replenishment and alert operators to potential failures. Predictive lubrication ensures that each component receives the right amount of lubricant at the right time, minimising waste, reducing manual intervention, and extending machinery life.
“Many VpCI® products can be applied to surfaces with minimal pre-cleaning, and the protective VpCI® layer typically does not need to be removed before equipment is put back into service. VpCI® ‘s save significant labor, time, and associated costs compared to methods that require extensive surface preparation (e.g., sandblasting) and post-application cleaning or degreasing. This allows for faster startup after maintenance,” elaborates Ana Juraga, Content Writer, Cortec Corporation.
Furthermore, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and lubricant suppliers are collaborating to develop application-specific lubricants tailored to the unique operating conditions of cement manufacturing units. For example, gear oils designed for high-load kilns or open gear systems now come with superior Extreme Pressure (EP) additives and anti-wear properties to cope with shock loading and variable speed operations. These co-developed solutions not only enhance mechanical reliability but also ensure compatibility with diverse materials used in modern cement equipment, ensuring peak performance in both greenfield and brownfield plants.

Sustainability and environmental considerations
The cement industry is under increasing pressure to reduce its environmental impact. Lubricants contribute to this goal by enhancing energy efficiency and reducing emissions. High-quality lubricants decrease friction, leading to lower energy consumption and, consequently, reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
Furthermore, the use of long-life lubricants minimises the frequency of oil changes, thereby reducing waste generation and disposal issues. The shift towards bio-based and recyclable lubricants also supports circular economy principles, promoting resource efficiency and environmental stewardship.
A report by Klüber Lubrication India suggests that sustainability continues to be a key focus for industries, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has mandated Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR) for the top 1,000 listed companies. This framework requires organisations to disclose their environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives, including energy conservation, emission reductions and resource optimisation. Beyond compliance, BRSR reporting allows companies to showcase their sustainability leadership and build investor confidence. Organisations that proactively address sustainability challenges are better positioned to attract long-term investors, secure financing, and maintain a competitive advantage in an evolving regulatory landscape.
The report also states that their high-performance synthetic lubricants play a crucial role in helping cement manufacturers meet these regulatory requirements by enhancing energy efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions in critical machinery such as vertical roller mills (VRMs) and main gearboxes. By adopting our energy-efficient solutions, companies can strengthen their BRSR compliance while achieving tangible operational benefits.
An emerging trend in the lubricant industry is the formulation of biodegradable lubricants specifically tailored for heavy industries like cement manufacturing. These eco-friendly alternatives are made from renewable base stocks and are designed to degrade naturally without leaving behind harmful residues. In environmentally sensitive zones or operations with high spill risk, such as open gear applications or hydraulic systems exposed to the elements, biodegradable lubricants offer a sustainable solution that aligns with stricter environmental regulations and the growing emphasis on corporate social responsibility (CSR) in India’s industrial sector.
KB Mathur, Founder and Director, Global Technical Services, says, “In the world of industrial machinery, lubricating oils while essential; are often misunderstood in terms of their life cycle. When oils are used in machinery, they don’t simply ‘DIE’. Instead, they become contaminated with moisture (water) and solid contaminants like dust, dirt and wear debris. These contaminants degrade the oil’s effectiveness but do not render it completely unusable. Used lubricants can be regenerated via advanced filtration processes/systems and recharged with the use of performance enhancing additives hence restoring them. These oils are brought back to ‘As-New’ levels. This new fresher lubricating oil is formulated to carry out its specific job providing heightened lubrication and reliable performance of the assets with a view of improved machine condition. Hence, contributing to not just cost savings but leading to magnified productivity, and diminished environmental stress.”
Lubricant manufacturers are increasingly focusing on circular economy principles, offering oil analysis, filtration and recycling services that extend lubricant life and minimise waste. Used oil regeneration programs not only reduce disposal costs but also help cement plants meet regulatory norms under the Hazardous Waste Management Rules of India. This closed-loop approach not only lowers the environmental burden but also enhances economic efficiency—making sustainability a dual benefit for operational and ecological performance. As cement companies work towards science-based targets and carbon neutrality, lubricant selection and management play a more strategic role in meeting these broader sustainability commitments.

Challenges and opportunities
Despite the benefits, the adoption of advanced lubricants in the Indian cement industry faces challenges. These include the higher initial costs of synthetic and bio-based lubricants and a lack of awareness about their long-term benefits. Additionally, the integration of lubrication management systems requires investment in training and infrastructure.
However, these challenges present opportunities for innovation and collaboration. Manufacturers
can work closely with lubricant suppliers to develop customised solutions that meet specific operational needs. Moreover, government incentives and regulatory frameworks promoting sustainable practices can accelerate the adoption of advanced lubrication technologies.
Another key challenge is the limited awareness and technical training available at the plant level regarding proper lubrication practices. Many maintenance teams still rely on outdated methods such as manual greasing or fixed-interval lubrication schedules, which often lead to over-lubrication, under-lubrication or lubricant contamination. This results in premature equipment wear and higher operating costs. There is a growing need for skill development programmes and collaboration with lubricant suppliers to train technicians on best practices, condition-based monitoring, and the use of smart lubrication systems.
“Oil in the machine is like blood in the human body. There is no rotating machine that works without lubricants (liquid, semi liquid or solid). Based on the machine component, type of lubricant is used to minimise the mechanical changes in the machine. Lubricant being the product that separates two or more materials under movement. With modern machines being more and more sophisticated and tolerances being finer than before, cleanliness of Lubricants is critical, would the source of contamination be internal wear or external contamination. These contaminations rupture and compromises lubricant film, contamination particles when come in-between the fine tolerances, become cause of catastrophic failure,” expounds Gaurav Mathur.
At the same time, the industry is witnessing an opportunity to leverage digitalisation in lubrication management. Advanced lubrication tracking tools, coupled with ERP and maintenance software, can now offer real-time visibility into lubricant consumption, scheduling and health diagnostics. Integration of AI-powered analytics helps predict equipment failure based on lubricant data, enabling a shift from reactive to predictive maintenance. For Indian cement manufacturers aiming to digitise plant operations as part of Industry 4.0, lubrication is an ideal entry point that delivers immediate ROI and long-term gains in efficiency, asset life and sustainability.

Conclusion
As the Indian cement industry continues its trajectory of growth, the role of high-performance lubricants in ensuring operational reliability, energy efficiency and cost savings cannot be overstated. From kilns and crushers to ball mills and gearboxes, modern lubrication solutions are critical in
reducing downtime and maximising equipment lifespan. With rising demand and increased production pressures, cement plants must adopt a proactive approach to lubrication management—viewing it not as a routine maintenance task, but as a strategic pillar of plant performance.
Recent advancements in lubricant technology, such as synthetic formulations, nano-additives, and smart dispensers, have opened new avenues for boosting equipment efficiency and longevity. Digital tools and IoT-based systems now allow plant operators to monitor lubricant condition in real time, enabling predictive maintenance and minimising the risk of failure. As cement manufacturers increasingly pursue digital transformation and automation under Industry 4.0 frameworks, lubrication systems must be seamlessly integrated into broader asset management strategies.
At the same time, sustainability imperatives are reshaping lubrication choices. There is growing emphasis on biodegradable lubricants, optimised lubricant consumption, and environmentally responsible disposal practices. Overcoming challenges such as limited awareness, inconsistent maintenance practices, and cost sensitivity will require collaboration between lubricant manufacturers, OEMs and cement producers. The opportunities, however, are substantial—by aligning lubrication strategies with efficiency, digitalisation and sustainability goals, the Indian cement industry can significantly enhance its competitiveness and resilience in the years ahead.
