Chevron India has inaugurated a new technology innovation hub in Bengaluru’s Bellandur district, marking one year of operations for its Engineering and Innovation Excellence Center (ENGINE). The 312,000 sq. ft. facility is part of the group’s strategy to strengthen its ability to deliver large-scale projects globally from India.

The site, located in the RMZ Ecoworld complex, is LEED-certified and designed to foster collaboration between engineering teams and digital specialists. The centre now hosts more than 1,000 professionals supporting the group’s global operations in areas such as subsurface modelling, treatment facility monitoring, and performance optimisation using digital twins.

An artificial intelligence-driven strategy

ENGINE is built on an “AI-first” approach, integrating artificial intelligence into technical delivery processes. Teams combine sector-specific expertise with advanced digital tools to streamline operations, improve productivity, and scale up technology solutions. The site includes autonomous robots, holographic experiences, and industrial data analysis platforms.

According to Akshay Sahni, Country Head of Chevron India, the initiative aims to “scale high-impact technology solutions to deliver affordable, reliable, and ever-cleaner energy,” while leveraging local technological and engineering capabilities. The group seeks to create an environment conducive to rapid experimentation and industrialisation of digital technologies for energy projects.

Strengthening Chevron’s position in India

Since its launch in August 2024, ENGINE has rapidly expanded, hiring more than 1,000 specialists. This momentum reflects the growing interest of major energy players in India’s innovation ecosystem, particularly in advanced engineering and digital technologies.

The new hub allows Chevron to centralise critical functions and standardise its work methods while maintaining proximity to local technical expertise. It also strengthens Chevron’s strategic presence in a region already attracting numerous global industry players.
