The story of Oil India Limited (OIL) traces and symbolises the development and growth of the Indian petroleum industry. From the discovery of crude oil in the far east of India at Digboi, Assam in 1889 to its present status as a fully integrated upstream petroleum company, OIL has come far, crossing many milestones.

Oil India was incorporated as a private limited company on February 18, 1959 under the name ‘Oil India Private Limited’, pursuant to a promoters’ agreement dated January 14, 1958, between the President of India, Burmah Oil Company Limited and Assam Oil Company Limited. At the time of the incorporation, Burmah Oil Company Limited and the President of India held two-thirds and one third of the Equity Share capital, respectively. The Company was incorporated with the main object of exploration and production of crude oil (including natural gas). The Company became a deemed public limited company with effect from March 28, 1961 and the word ‘private’ was deleted from the name of the Company on May 4, 1961.

In 1981, OIL became a wholly-owned Government of India enterprise. Today, OIL is a premier Indian National Oil Company engaged in the business of exploration, development and production of crude oil and natural gas, transportation of crude oil and production of LPG. OIL also provides various E&P related services and holds 26% equity in Numaligarh Refinery Limited.
