Indian oil signed the first contract for the purchase of American oil for $ 1.5 billion

Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), the largest oil and gas corporation in India, signed the first annual contract for the purchase of oil from the United States worth $1.5 billion from the United States worth $ 1.5 billion, according to the chairman of Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Sanjiva Singh. The daily volume of oil supplies amounted to 60,000 barrels.

The contract will begin in April and end in March 2020. In addition to signing the contract, the company agreed on conditions for importing up to 3 million metric tons of oil from the United States as part of a strategy to diversify oil suppliers.

Earlier, IOC acquired hydrocarbons from the United States on the spot markets and also concluded a short-term deal to buy 6 million barrels of US oil from November 2018 to January 2019.

Thanks to a new deal, Indian Oil Corporation will be able to reduce its dependence on OPEC, as well as strengthen trade relations between India and the United States.
