September 11, 2024: Indian Oil Corporation’s Oil & Gas Production Refuses To Go up, click Column Special Database for details.
September 10, 2024 | India Needs To Reboot Its Crude Oil Sourcing Strategy: India has always tried to hedge its risks and tended to source its crude oil from multiple sources – preferring small tenders, and driblets of crude oil from several source countries. The question is whether that strategy needs to be re-assessed. It is an accepted fact that small buyers do not command much respect before major crude producers. India is a big buyer but it is regarded as a small player because it prefers to spread out its sources of supply in the name of oil security. India is now poised to become the world’s third largest economy in the near future and this cannot be achieved without raising crude imports. Leading oil producers will be keen to woo India to sign large long-term deals; in exchange, they will be prepared to offer attractive price terms. There is no need for any major diplomatic gambit here. The security bogey is no longer relevant in a changed oil market scenario.
