India’s crude oil import bill surged 47% year-on-year (YoY) to $15.4 billion in September, amid resurging conflict in West Asia, according to provisional government data.

Data from the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC) showed that crude oil imports rose 7% YoY to 21.7 million metric tonnes (MMT) in September, even as shipments of liquefied natural gas (LNG) were about 8.5% lower although import bill stayed almost flat.
