India's crude oil and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) imports showed signs of recovery in May after supply disruptions linked to the West Asia conflict weighed on inflows during March and April, The Times of India reported on June 3 citing ship-tracking data from Kpler.
Crude imports rose to about 4.9 million barrels per day (mbd) in May from around 4.5 mbd during March and April. However, volumes remained below the 5.2 mbd recorded in February, indicating that supply chains have not yet fully normalised.
