Despite an eighteen percent drop in import volumes, rising oil prices, fueled by ongoing conflicts, significantly impacted costs. Russia emerged as India's primary crude supplier, contributing over forty percent, and refiners incurred substantial war-risk premiums to ensure a reliable energy supply.

India's situation remains complex as it benefits from reduced risks of US tariffs while navigating the oil market.
