A bold vision of scaling global energy infrastructure from India

  • India has the fundamentals to become a global manufacturing hub for energy infrastructure.
  • We are sourcing essential equipment for our global energy projects from India, with plans to scale that significantly through 2030.
  • We see strong potential for India to advance into making highly specialized “mega modules,” which has powerful synergies with shipbuilding.

The strategic alignment between ExxonMobil’s capabilities in India and the country’s goals has never been stronger.

Our LNG and products businesses have been helping to advance energy security for India. Our talent base in Bangalore is also expanding rapidly.

Today India is among a handful of countries that touches the full spectrum of our global businesses. We’re building on that by leveraging our global scale and industry-leading capabilities in project execution.

Domestic manufacturing is a central pillar of India’s Viksit Bharat 2047 vision. And we’ve created our own “Make in India” initiative to help realize that vision.

India has a skilled workforce, its connectivity is expanding, and the supply chain is building resilience. This is enabling us to engineer and build essential equipment and modules for our global projects in India.

In the last two years alone, we have sourced equipment worth USD 100 million from India. We plan to scale that significantly, to billions of dollars through the end of the decade.

From simpler to more complex “mega” modules

We believe that India has strong potential to advance into building highly specialized equipment such as mega modules. Mega modules are massive pre-assembled units used to build petrochemical plants and refineries. 

In fact, there are incredible synergies between this and India’s shipbuilding ambitions.

The modules fitted together to build very large ships are similarly massive, complex and pre-fabricated.

Shipbuilding and mega modules also share a common industrial base. Both rely on heavy engineering, shared supply chains and logistics infrastructure, such as ports, roads, and railways.
