The conflict in West Asia, which escalated on February 28, has severely impacted global energy supply chains, particularly through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for crude oil transport. In response, India, which imports nearly 90% of its crude oil, has successfully maintained supply stability by diversifying import sources and adjusting refinery operations. Currently, India holds about 60 days of crude oil supply, combining strategic reserves and commercial inventories. Following disruptions in the Hormuz region, Indian refiners have shifted their import strategy significantly since March 2026, increasing purchases from non-traditional suppliers such as the United States, Brazil, and Russia. Russian crude has become a major component of India's energy mix, accounting for 30-37% of total imports, with levels reaching around 1.5 to 1.7 million barrels per day. To mitigate the impact of the conflict, India has also started utilizing alternative supply routes, including Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline, which bypasses Hormuz. However, imports remain about 700,000 to 800,000 barrels per day below normal levels. To ensure domestic fuel availability, the Indian government has raised retail fuel prices and imposed a windfall gains tax, balancing refinery economics with consumer needs.
