India witnessed a substantial 90% surge in oil imports from Russia during March, even as overall oil imports decreased due to supply challenges originating in West Asia.

Disruptions affecting the Strait of Hormuz had a notable impact on the supply of LPG and LNG, prompting India to actively seek alternative energy sources to mitigate the effects of these disruptions.

In response to these challenges, India has been exploring various avenues to secure its energy needs, including increasing imports from African nations.
