Lazada will host the Shell Malaysia online store, launched this month as the lube suppliers foray into online-to-offline business in Southeast Asia. Petronas Lubricants International said last week that it will complete its $50 million blending plant in Patalganga, India, by the first quarter of 2018. The Malaysian national oil company subsidiary is aiming to triple its share in Indias lubricant market by 2022. United Arab Emirates-based Gulf Petrochem Group, owner of Indias GP Petroleums Ltd., secured a $150 million loan to grow all its enterprises, including base oils, lubricants and grease, and plans to seek additional funding in Malaysia and Indonesia.
