EY Report: India's Refining Capacity Mitigated Impact of West Asia Energy Crisis
A report by EY highlights that India's expanding crude oil refining capacity has mitigated the impact of the recent West Asia-led energy crisis by reducing reliance on imported refined petroleum products. While India's dependence on imported crude oil rose to over 90% in FY26, domestic refining capabilities and improved energy efficiency have helped save costs. The report also notes a decline in domestic crude production and a sharp increase in petroleum product consumption since FY1999.
