Abstract
Despite being the single most important source of energy in India, oil is imported in huge quantities from countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iran, UAE (United Arab Emirates) and Malaysia. Being the seventh largest consumer of oil in the world coupled with its inability to produce sufficient quantities to meet its domestic needs, makes India highly vulnerable to the fluctuations of the international oil prices. Moreover, the huge amount of money that is spent on importing the precious oil has prompted India to strive and achieve some level of self-sufficiency in this sector. This case, while presenting the over dependence of the Indian economy on imported oil, highlights the initiatives of the Indian government to become self-reliant in oil amidst several potential problems and risks.
