CRUDE OIL (1 BBL)

For the year 2019, the oil import bill is expected to increase in India, Asia’s third-largest economy.

“The net trade oil deficit has widened considerably, owing to a combination of high oil prices and a weak currency,”. The oil import bill in fiscal year 2019 could spike above $114 billion. Between 2017 and 2018, oil imports were about $88 billion — higher than the previous year’s cost of $70 billion. To counter the drag on growth, India needs to reduce its reliance on oil, but steadily rising consumption in the country is not helping, according to a recent Oxford Economics report. “India needs to lower its oil demand and in turn, imports, to make growth more resilient to higher oil prices. But we think this is unlikely in the next ten years.” The report forecast India’s oil demand will increase to 4.4 percent annually in the next decade, compared to 3.7 per year in the last 10 years. The rising oil imports may also hit India’s gross domestic product.
