United States became fourth-largest crude oil supplier to India in 2020: Report

The United States became the fourth-largest supplier of crude oil to India in 2020, according to BP’s latest report. The US supplied 10.7 million tonnes of crude oil to India in 2020, behind Iraq’s 47 million tonnes, Saudi Arabia’s 38 million tonnes, and UAE’s 22 million tonnes, said the BP’s Statistical Review of World Energy.

The US supply accounted for about 5% of India’s total imports of 204 million tonnes in the year, a big jump for the country which had started exporting oil to India in 2017. It also turned out to be the fourth-largest natural gas supplier to India in 2020.
