India Faces Challenges in Securing Crude Supply Amid Overseas Investments and Strait of Hormuz Transit Issues
India's overseas oil investments, especially in Russian fields, have not ensured preferential crude access during disruptions like the Strait of Hormuz crisis. Indian companies hold stakes that yield dividends but often lack rights to specific oil volumes. Meanwhile, Hindustan Petroleum faces challenges booking tankers to transit Hormuz due to vessel scarcity and last-minute cancellations, despite rising Middle East crude flows. These factors highlight complexities in securing energy supplies amid geopolitical tensions and logistical constraints.
