Despite rising volume, muted crude prices help lower oil import bill
Financial Express Chandigarh|December 26, 2024
The softening in global crude oil prices over recent months has resulted in India's oil import bill contracting on a year-on-year basis in September, October, and November, despite import volumes rising in each of these months, latest petroleum ministry data shows.

This is in contrast to the first five months of the current financial year (FY25) when the value of oil imports rose vis-à-vis the corresponding months of the previous fiscal.

A downward pressure on international oil prices, and consequently on India's oil import bill, is a positive for the country due to its extremely high dependence on oil imports. Latest government data shows that India's reliance on imported crude was at 88.1 per cent for April-November. Oil and gas imports have the highest share in India's overall merchandise import bill.
