How many days' oil stock does India have?

War has once again broken out between the US and Iran, raising concerns about the global oil supply chain. US President Donald Trump stated bluntly that the agreement with Iran is now over, but negotiations will continue. The attack between US Central Command and Iran's IRGC has also increased global concerns about the Strait of Hormuz. The world is once again fearing that the Strait of Hormuz could be blocked again. Therefore, it is important to understand India's oil reserves.

Following Trump's statement, Brent crude prices rose 6 percent to $78 per barrel. Commodity intelligence firm Kpler released a report on July 3, 2028, stating that India's crude oil reserves are currently at their highest level in nearly a year. This was due to India's record crude oil imports in June 2026.
