Indias Crude Oil Imports Not Mostly from Unstable Regions
“More than 80% of India’s crude oil imports come from geopolitically unstable regions.”
Summary
India’s crude oil imports are diversified, with only about half coming from the Middle East and other geopolitically volatile regions. Recent data show OPEC‑linked supplies around 49‑50% of total imports, and roughly 70% of imports now arrive via routes outside the Strait of Hormuz, well below the asserted 80% figure.
