India crude oil import: Ever since Donald Trump took the command of America for the second time, there has been a wonderful bounce in India’s crude oil imports. That is, since Trump’s second term as US President, India has increased its purchase of crude oil from the US even more, which indicates the change in India’s strategy regarding the purchase of energy.
More than double the rise in imports
The increase in crude oil imports more than 50 percent of the previous year shows the growing partnership between the two countries. According to media reports quoted by government sources, India’s crude oil imports from America have increased more than doubled from June to 25 June.
Last year, during this period, India imported 0.18 million barrels of oil per day, which has increased to 0.271 million barrels per day this year. In the first quarter of the year i.e. April-June 2025, its speed has increased even more, which is 114 percent more than 2024.
Import of LPG and LNG also increased
In July too, India has imported 23 percent more crude oil than June. In India’s total crude oil imports, where America’s stake was only 3 percent, it increased to 8 percent in July. Meanwhile, India’s LPG and LNG imports from America have also increased. In the business year 2024-25, LNG imports reached $ 2.46 billion, which is almost doubled from $ 1.41 billion in the previous year, ie there has been a jump of about 100 %.
Russia will also continue to do business
According to the report of news agency ANI, US imports may have increased, but India will continue its purchase of crude oil from Russia as well. The response came amidst the claim of US President Donald Trump, in which he said that India has stopped import of crude oil from Russia, while Indian authorities denied Trump’s claim. In fact, Trump has given Russia 10–12 days to end the war in Ukraine, if it has not happened, then threatened to impose additional restrictions on the countries doing business with Russia and 100 % secondary tariffs.
