Why? Your taking 35% cut. That is huge. You import massive amount of oil. There was no way you could change over to another supplier without causing massive ripples in international oil markets. After all you imported 22 million tonnes of crude oil from Iran in 2017-18. Which alternate supplier could have suddenly supplied you with that vast amount and that without cause oil price spike? The Yanks are goig to wean you off Iranian oil. Next year expect more reduction. Instead of breaking the neck they are going to slowly snuff it. That of course also allows time for alternate suppliers to set up their contracts.Biradaars dont want to show up here.
The average oil import from July 2017 was 1.69 MT. According to the waiver India will agree to reduce to 1.25 MT which is significant drop and this only extends to March 2019. After that further reductions will come into play. And this waiver is being extended to other major importers of Iranian oil including South Korea so it is not like India was given some especial favour. So I can't see why Gangadeshi's are masturbating about this.
On Thursday, The Economic Times reported that the administration will allow India to purchase 1.25 million tons of Iranian oil each month through March. A source told the English-language Indian newspaper that India and Washington have "broadly agreed on a waiver" and that "India will cut import by a third."
