India (IND) Purchases Iranian Oil After Seven-Year Absence

India, the world's third-largest oil importer, has resumed purchases of Iranian oil after not receiving any since May 2019 due to U.S. sanctions. The Indian oil ministry reported that there are no payment hurdles for these imports amid ongoing Middle East supply disruptions. Additionally, India has secured 44,000 metric tons of Iranian liquefied petroleum gas. This shift in sourcing could impact global oil markets as India adjusts its crude oil imports based on commercial considerations.
