DelhiDesk India is considering importing 1.25 million tonnes (9.2 million barrels) of crude oil to refill its strategic reserves, which are spread across two sites in Visakhapatnam and Mangalore. The timing and grades of the oil are still under discussion, and it is unclear if India will choose to buy cargoes from OPEC+ or its traditional suppliers in West Asia. India’s refiners were previously unwilling to pay the government’s asking price to lease storage space, and the country is seeking to increase its reserve capacity by 6.5 million tonnes. The US is also rebuilding its depleted stockpiles after a period of drawdown.
