India's Energy Footprint Expands to 40 Countries
India's energy connections have grown a lot in the last ten years.
The country now has energy partnerships with 40 countries, up from 27.
This growth is because India has been working hard to get energy from different places and make strong friendships with other countries.
India is also building more places to refine oil and is sending petroleum products to over 50 countries.
This makes India an important player in the global energy market.
The country is expected to use a lot of energy in the future, which is good for its economy and energy security.
India's global energy footprint has expanded from 27 to 40 partner countries over the past decade.
This growth is attributed to strengthened energy diplomacy and a more secure sourcing network under PM Narendra Modi's leadership.
India's refining capacity has reached 258 MMTPA and is expected to rise to 310 MMTPA by 2030, and further to 400-450 MMTPA in the long term.
India is a key driver of global energy demand, projected to contribute 30-33% of incremental global energy consumption.
Indian refineries are world-class, globally integrated, and export-ready, with petroleum product exports reaching over $45 billion in FY 2024-25, catering to more than 50 countries.
