ONGC Approves Guarantee for MRPL to Import Crude Oil from Saudi Aramco
ONGC has approved a 500 million parent company guarantee for its subsidiary MRPL to facilitate crude oil imports from Saudi Aramco for two years, from September 2026 to August 2028. This move aims to secure continued crude supply amid concerns over India's energy security due to instability in West Asia and disruptions in maritime trade routes. MRPL's access to Saudi crude is crucial as India imports nearly 90% of its crude oil, with the Red Sea route playing a significant role in these imports.
