Gulf Lubricants Renews Partnership with Janakpur Bolts for NPL Season 3, Unveils Special Edition Gulf Pride Pack: Season 3 campaign to run under the theme “Gulf Powered Bolts”.
Nepal Lube Oil Limited (NLOL), the authorised importer and manufacturer of Gulf Lubricants in Nepal, has renewed its partnership with Janakpur Bolts for Season 3 of the Nepal Premier League (NPL). Under the partnership, Gulf Lubricants will continue as the Official Lubricant Partner of Janakpur Bolts.
The partnership was formalised at a signing ceremony held today at The Plaza, Jhamsikhel, where the two partners also unveiled a limited Special Edition Gulf Pride 4T Plus 20W-50 pack designed in the colours of Janakpur Bolts.
Building on their association from previous seasons, the Season 3 partnership aims to go beyond conventional sponsorship visibility and build stronger engagement with cricket fans, consumers, retailers, mechanics, and business partners. The campaign will run under the theme “Gulf Powered Bolts”, bringing together the energy of Janakpur Bolts and the performance-driven identity of Gulf Lubricants.
Mr. Karan Kumar Chaudhary, Chairman & CEO, Nepal Lube Oil Limited, said:
“Our partnership with Janakpur Bolts has never been about visibility alone—it’s about standing with a team, and a community, through every high and every low. This season, with ‘Gulf Powered Bolts,’ we’re taking that relationship further: putting our product directly into the hands of the fans, retailers, and mechanics who back the Bolts as fiercely as we do. Gulf has always believed that real performance shows up when it matters most, and that’s exactly what we see in this team and in Madhesh. We’re proud to renew this bond for Season 3, and even prouder of where it’s headed.”
Mr. Niroj Khatiwoda, CEO, Janakpur Bolts, said:
“Gulf has been with us through every chapter, from the highest point of lifting the NPL trophy to the toughest moment of finishing at the bottom. Their continued belief in the Bolts, regardless of the result, reflects the kind of partnership we deeply value. This is more than sponsorship; it is a bond built on trust, respect, and the love of our Madhesh community. We are truly grateful to Nepal Lube Oil and Gulf for standing with us, and we look forward to carrying this bond into another season.”

The limited Special Edition Gulf Pride 4T Plus 20W-50 pack has been developed around the identity and colours of Janakpur Bolts. The pack will be available in the market from 15 Ashoj to 14 Mangsir 2083.
