Data shows that India’s imports of US crude oil have already increased sharply in 2025. Between April-June, US crude shipments to India jumped by ~114% year-on-year. Indian companies are reportedly planning even larger increases in US oil imports, according to a report by Business Today.
Between January and June 2025, India’s crude imports from the United States rose by 51 percent, climbing from 0.18 million barrels per day (mb/d) in the same period last year to 0.271 mb/d, the outlet said, citing government data.
The rise was sharper in the April–June 2025 quarter, when imports from the US recorded a year-on-year jump of 114 percent. In value terms, the inflow more than doubled, moving from $1.73 billion in the first quarter of FY25 to $3.7 billion in the same period of FY26. The trend carried into July as well, with volumes rising 23 percent over June, lifting the US share in India’s overall crude imports from 3 percent to 8 percent, the Business Today report said.
