The energy deficit in India, brought about by the conflict in Iran and the subsequent disruption of global fuel supply chains, has led it to seek fuel supply from Africa and Latin America.
A recent report revealed that Indian refiners have turned to markets in South America and Africa for crude supply.
The South Asian country, prior to the war in Iran, typically sourced crude from the Middle East.
However, since February, 2026, when Iran got into a conflict with the United States, India has relied on alternative crude sources.
Data from Kpler, as seen on Reuters, show that Nigeria, Angola, Venezuela, Russia, and Brazil are among the markets from which the world's third-largest oil importer and consumer obtains its crude.
