India’s oil minister, Hardeep Singh Puri, announced that the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia are interested in investing in India’s refining sector. The potential investments involve expanding India's downstream capacity to 6.2-6.4 million barrels per day through new plants and upgrades to existing units. India, the world’s third-biggest oil importer and consumer, is the focus of this potential investment.

Puri noted that while India has managed the current crisis, the escalation of the West Asia conflict could create significant supply challenges if key chokepoints are closed.
