22-Sep-2026

India spent an additional $24.4 billion on crude oil imports during April-August despite importing virtually the same quantity as a year earlier, due to elevated global prices. The import bill surged 48.4% to $74.8 billion from $50.4 billion a year earlier, even as volumes fell 0.4% to 100.7 million metric tonne (MMT), according to data from the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC).
