## ANSWER

## पैोलयम और ाक ृ तक गैस मंालय म रायमंी ( ी रामेवर तेल )

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS (SHRI RAMESWAR TELI)

(a) to (d) : In the current situation of high volatility in global energy markets, Government of India  is  closely  monitoring  the  situation.  No  adverse  impact  on  hydrocarbon  energy agreements is currently foreseen.

In  Financial  Year  2020-21,  India  imported  85%  of  its  crude  oil  and  54%  of  natural  gas requirement.

As  per  Petroleum  Planning  &  Analysis  Cell  (PPAC),  India's  major  sources  of  crude  oil imports are Iraq, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Nigeria and USA.

Oil  Public  Sector  Undertakings  (PSUs)  import  crude  oil  based  on  techno-commercial evaluation and economics of their refineries. Indian Oil & Gas Public Sector Undertakings had imported 558TMT crude oil from Russia in the year 2021-2022 out of total import of crude oil 211980 TMT.

Details  of  the  assets  of  Indian  Oil  &  Gas  Public  Sector  Undertakings  in  Russia  are  at Annexure I

Details of import of crude oil and LNG from Russia during the last five years, year wise are at Annexure II.
