African oil returns to Indian markets
The Indian oil market has experienced a shift in crude oil sources due to disruptions in the supply of contracted shipments from the Middle East, caused by restrictions on navigation through the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait resulting from the war with Iran. Major Indian companies such as Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals, Indian Oil, and Hindustan Petroleum have purchased large quantities of West African crudes, including oils from Oman, Nigeria, Angola, and Costa Rica, to compensate for the shortfall from the Middle East. Although India's imports of Russian crude have increased, this has not been sufficient, prompting refineries to rely on more distant sources amid fluctuating crude flows within the African market, where Nigerian imports declined while Angola's increased in response to logistical challenges. This shift reflects turbulence in the oil market and the impact of regional tensions on global supply chains.
