Crude oil import prices drop to a 42-month low

Hindustan Times Mumbai

|

March 17, 2025

India's average crude oil import price fell to a 42-month low of $71.20 a barrel in the first fortnight of March because of the Chinese slowdown, international efforts for a ceasefire in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and US President Donald Trump's resolve to boost American oil output, though it's not a given that domestic retail prices will come down.

NEW DELHI:

India, which imports over 88% of the crude oil it processes, had last witnessed an average monthly oil import price of the Indian basket below $70 a barrel in August 2021. Since then, the monthly average saw an upward movement due to various geopolitical and economic reasons aggravated by the Russia-Ukraine war in early 2022, followed by the Hamas attack on Israel in October 2023.
