In Civil Aviation the market is expanding rapidly, and we would like to take benefit of the growing opportunities arising out of this. In the Industrial & automotive sector, the use of synthetics in lubricants is currently very low. This is an evolving market and we expect to play a major part in this arena as and when the industry develops into a market with a higher share of synthetics. The industry is certainly changing and we have seen this happen globally and it is only a question of time when this happens in India too,” V K Mathew said V K Mathew, CEO, Avi-Oil.
