Founded in 1886 in Scotland, Burmah Oil was one of the pioneers in South Asia's oil industry. In India, it played a key role in establishing an extensive distribution network. In the 1920s, Burmah Oil partnered with Royal Dutch Shell to create the Burmah-Shell Oil Storage and Distributing Company of India Limited, which focused on importing, storing, and distributing petroleum products throughout India. This joint venture, Burmah Shell, developed a vast infrastructure of distribution facilities, pipelines, storage tanks, and service stations across the country.
