India's January Crude Oil Output and Imports

24 Feb 2024 CW Team

India witnessed a marginal increase of 0.7% in its crude oil output, reaching 2.5 million metric tons (MMT) in January. Concurrently, crude oil imports surged by 5.7% year-on-year (YoY) during the same period.

The data, released by the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC), indicates a modest uptick in domestic crude oil production. Despite the incremental growth, India remains reliant on imports, as demonstrated by the notable 5.7% YoY increase in crude oil imports.

These figures underscore the ongoing challenge for India to achieve self-sufficiency in crude oil production. The modest rise in output suggests the need for continued efforts to enhance domestic production capacities. The simultaneous increase in imports highlights the country's dependence on foreign sources to meet its growing energy demands.

India's energy landscape continues to evolve, with a focus on diversifying its sources and reducing dependence on conventional fuels. The January statistics emphasise the importance of sustainable strategies and investments in the energy sector to ensure a secure and resilient energy future for the nation.
