India turns to Africa’s Oil Producers Amid Strait of Hormuz Supply Concerns

Africa's leading oil exporters are gaining ground in one of the world's largest energy markets as Indian refiners increase purchases from Nigeria and Angola amid supply disruptions in the Middle East and a broader effort to diversify crude sources.

Indian refiners are increasing oil imports from Nigeria and Angola due to supply disruptions in the Middle East and a push to diversify sources.

India began diversifying its crude suppliers before the latest crisis, with purchases from Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America, partly due to Western pressure to cut Russian imports.

Nigeria and Angola, as Africa's main oil exporters, are benefiting from India's growing demand, which is boosting export earnings and strengthening trade ties.

Supply risks, particularly through the Strait of Hormuz amid regional conflicts, are accelerating India's shift toward alternative oil suppliers.
