About Bowring Station

Home > About

Our story

For over five decades, Bowring Station has stood at the heart of Bengaluru’s St. Marks Road -not just as a fuel stop, but as a landmark that has fueled the journeys of generations of commuters, families, and businesses across the city.

Founded in 1969, Bowring Station began as a modest single-pump facility, serving Bengaluru that was still finding its feet as a growing city. What started as a commitment to reliable service has grown into one of central Bengaluru’s most trusted Indian Oil outlets – a station that has witnessed the city transform around it while staying rooted in the same values it was built on: quality, consistency, and community.

Our story

Through the decades, the station has kept pace with the times – adopting automated fueling systems, expanding its product range, and building lasting relationships with the fleet operators, daily commuters, and loyal customers who have made Bowring Station their go-to stop for over 55 years.

Today, we serve over 26,000 vehicles every week. But to us, each vehicle represents a person with somewhere to go – and our job is to make sure they get there.
