India’s oil imports from Russia recorded a 90% increase<\/strong> in March compared to the previous month. This growth occurs within a complex context, where the global energy supply faces significant disruptions<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

Furthermore, the rebound coincides with a nearly 15% drop in the country’s total crude imports. The main cause has been the disruption in the Strait of Hormuz<\/strong>, one of the most important routes for energy transport worldwide. <\/p>\n\n

US waiver boosts Russian crude trade<\/h2>\n\n

The United States’ decision to grant a temporary 30-day waiver<\/strong> allowed India to acquire Russian oil that was already in transit, facilitating the increase in oil imports at a critical time for supply<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Likewise, Russia continues to consolidate its position as a key supplier for India, offering competitive alternatives to traditional market limitations.<\/p>\n\n

Gas decline and pressure on energy supply<\/h2>\n\n

In contrast, liquefied natural gas imports<\/strong> suffered a heavy impact. Shipments from Qatar fell by 92%<\/strong>, affected by QatarEnergy<\/a><\/strong>‘s declaration of force majeure and restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz. <\/p>\n\n

Similarly, liquefied petroleum gas imports fell by 40%<\/strong>, increasing pressure on the country’s energy security.<\/p>\n\n

India diversifies its oil and gas imports<\/h2>\n\n

Given this scenario, India has intensified its search for alternative suppliers. African countries such as Angola, Ghana, Gabon, and Congo have increased their participation, although they still represent a limited portion of the total. <\/p>\n\n

On the other hand, India is expected to begin receiving oil from Venezuela in April<\/strong>. There is also the possibility of incorporating Iranian crude, which would further expand its diversification strategy. <\/p>\n\n

Key infrastructure to bypass the Strait of Hormuz<\/h2>\n\n

Meanwhile, Middle Eastern producers have adapted their operations through the use of alternative pipelines<\/strong>, such as Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline and the United Arab Emirates’ Habshan-Fujairah pipeline. These have allowed the energy flow to India to be partially maintained, reducing the impact of maritime restrictions<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

Outlook: An energy market in transformation<\/h2>\n\n

Everything indicates that oil imports from Russia will remain relevant in the coming months<\/strong>. The combination of geopolitical, logistical, and commercial factors is redefining the global energy map. <\/p>\n\n

In this context, India continues to adjust its strategy to guarantee supply and reduce risks in the face of future disruptions.<\/p>\n\n
