Iran was the second-biggest oil supplier to Indian state refiners between April and June, oil minister Dharmendra Pradhan said on Monday. Iran replaced Saudi Arabia as companies took advantage of steeper discounts offered by Tehran.
India, Iran’s top oil client after China, shipped in 5.67 million tonnes or about 457,000 barrels per day (bpd) of oil from the country in the first three months of this fiscal year, Pradhan told lawmakers in a written reply.
He did not provide comparable numbers from the year-ago period. Data compiled by Reuters shows that India imported about 3.46 million tonnes, or about 279,000 bpd, from Iran between April and June last year.
