The imported oil is converted into products like petrol, diesel and LPG.<\/p>\n<p>Saudi Arabia, Iraq and other Middle East nations account for 63.1 per cent of all imports. Africa is the second biggest supplier, accounting for close to 14 per cent of all supplies while North America gives 13.2 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>Russia makes up for a third of Europe&#8217;s natural gas and about 10 per cent of global oil production. About a third of Russian gas supplies to Europe usually travel through pipelines crossing Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>But for India, Russian supplies account for a very small percentage. While India imported 43,400 barrels per day of oil from Russia in 2021 (about 1 per cent of overall its imports), coal imports from Russia at 1.8 million tonnes in 2021 made up for 1.3 per cent of all coal imports. India also buys 2.5 million tonne of LNG a year from Gazprom of Russia.<\/p>\n<p>In retaliation to the Russian attack, the United States, the European Union, Britain, Australia, Canada and Japan have announced sanctions targeting Russian banks and wealthy individuals while Germany halted a major gas pipeline project from Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Energy and other trade as of now are out of the sanction ambit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Availability is not a concern. We are getting normal supplies and none of the suppliers has sought any deferment,&#8221; an official with Indian Oil Corp (IOC) &#8211; the nation&#8217;s largest oil firm, said.
