In the first-ever deal by an Indian company, Indian Oil Corp said it has signed an annual deal worth USD 1.5 billion to import 3 million tonnes of crude oil in the fiscal year beginning April 1.
This is the first time any Indian refiner has signed an annual contract since the country in 2017 began importing crude oil from the US. “IOC has finalised a term contract for import of up to 3 million tonnes of crude oil of US origin grades as a part of its strategy to diversify term crude sources,” the company said in a statement. The contract was finalised on February 15.
