India Diversifies Oil Imports Away from Hormuz Strait

India has significantly diversified its oil imports, with 75% now sourced from regions outside the Hormuz Strait. According to Jin10, this strategic move aims to reduce dependency on the volatile Middle Eastern route and enhance energy security. The Hormuz Strait, a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments, has been subject to geopolitical tensions, prompting India to seek alternative suppliers. This diversification reflects India's broader strategy to ensure stable energy supplies amid fluctuating global markets.
