"Technology is simplistically defined as ‘Application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes.’ However, it belies the transformative impact that it has on the entire human civilization. The first known technological marvel dates back to some 2.5 to 3 million years ago, when stone tools were first used. Since then, the invention of paper, printing press, optical lenses, steam engines, internal combustion engines, electricity, semiconductors & such have played a huge role in improving the quality of life. Today, innovations span every facet of our life. The National Technology Day that is observed today commemorates Operation Shakti that was led by the remarkable scientist and former President Mr A P J Abdul Kalam. As one of the foremost technology-drivers of the country, the day is a recognition of the incredible role played by technology in fuelling & empowering India’s growth & development. The world around us is rapidly evolving as new advancements transform every industry. IndianOil’s constant innovation to meet the rapid energy transition is supported by our R&D’s indigenous cutting-edge refining technologies. Our focus on digital initiatives, through project iDrive, has made us a pioneer in augmenting operational availability of our refineries and enhancing customer delight by delivering better value & transparency through our nearly 60000 customer touch points. Our increased focus on sustainability is underscored by the new horizon technologies in bio-methanation, 2nd & 3rd generation ethanol, hydrogen, aluminum air battery, solarization & renewable energy among others. Latest advancements such as intelligent pigging system power our robust & seamless pipeline operations. With new age innovations & systems, IndianOil is taking giant strides to become a holistic energy solution provider.
