Chevron To Invest $1 Billion To Set Up Major Engineering And Innovation Centre In Bengaluru

Chevron, a global energy solutions provider, is making a significant investment of $1 billion to establish a new research and development (R&D) hub in Bengaluru.

Chevron is one of the world’s largest oil and gas companies, with a presence in over 150 countries.

The Chevron Engineering and Innovation Excellence Center (ENGINE), will be the company's first large-scale engineering and innovation centre in India.

Located near Bellandur, Chevron ENGINE will recruit talent with specialised skills in engineering and digital services, with the goal of filling around 600 positions by the end of 2025, Business Standard reported.

The company plans to further expand its workforce at this facility in the future.

Akshay Sahni, who is set to become the new head of Chevron India, highlighted the importance of this centre in the company’s 145-year journey.

In addition to its major technical centres in Houston, US, and California, Chevron also operates smaller labs in Aberdeen, with the new Indian hub set to be one of its largest.

Chevron reportedly plans to hire and recruit from all the disciplines of engineering—mechanical, chemical, computer science, and electrical.

The company also plans to recruit specialists in fields like geology, geophysics, and environmental science.

The ENGINE centre will focus on improving operational reliability, low-carbon energy solutions, and subsurface geology for carbon storage.
