US energy major Chevron is establishing a $1 billion engineering and innovation excellence centre (ENGINE) in India, marking its largest investment outside the US. Located in Bengaluru, the facility aims to harness India’s engineering and technology talent to support Chevron’s global operations and energy projects, said the company’s India head, Akshay Sahni, speaking to journalists at the sidelines of India Energy Week.
Chevron first disclosed plans for ENGINE last year via a LinkedIn post and has since appointed key leadership personnel. The company plans to hire 600 employees by the end of 2025, with further expansion on the horizon. ENGINE is designed to be more than a back-office operation; it will focus on advanced engineering work, including geotechnical analysis, digital modelling of oil refineries, and process monitoring to enhance energy reliability.
Chevron’s $1 billion investment in India will span several years, supporting the country’s role in sustainable energy and contributing to affordable, cleaner power generation. Read more
