India-Mauritius Strategic Partnership to Get Stronger With Oil Deal: India's Petroleum Minister
India's Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas, Hardeep Singh Puri, said on Friday that the oil and gas cooperation agreement between India and Mauritius is far more than a commercial deal, calling it a strong expression of trust, partnership and mutual reliance.
The minister noted that the India-Mauritius energy partnership is no longer limited to meeting today's needs, but is also moving toward securing future energy security and advancing green energy cooperation.
He also highlighted that India has emerged as one of the world's major refining hubs, with 23 refineries processing roughly 270 million metric tonnes annually.
The agreement follows an announcement by the Mauritius government on Thursday confirming a long-term deal with India for the supply of petrol, diesel and aviation fuel. The deal is expected to strengthen the island nation's energy security amid disruptions linked to the ongoing conflict in West Asia.
Neither side has disclosed the volumes involved or other commercial and financial terms of the agreement.
The deal was signed during Puri's visit to the East African island nation, which relies heavily on imports to meet its energy needs.
Commenting on the agreement, the Indian minister noted that Mauritius is the first country outside South Asia to sign such a deal with an Indian public sector oil company.
