India’s Oil Import Policy
● After the Opec-plus decision to retain supply curbs the global prices of crude oil have increased.
● India has now started to look for an alternative to Opec as the domestic demand and the prices of diesel and petrol record highs.
● India is currently working on diversifying its energy basket with crude oil imports from Opec nations.
● With its shipment value of 2.89 million mt, Iraq has retained its position as the top supplier of crude oil in Feb 2021.
● To save its citizens from the rising prices of petroleum and diesel, India is now looking to Russia, its old energy partner country. In Feb 2020, India signed a contract with Russia for crude oil sourcing.
● The agreement was for two million metric tonnes of Urals grade supply to India and was signed by Rosneft and Indian Oil Corporation.
