India, the world’s third-largest oil importer, on Thursday said it is examining ways of supporting International Energy Agency (IEA) member countries’ decision to release crude from their national reserves to calm rising global prices. Used to be.
The energy-hungry nation said without elaborating, “In the interest of collaborating with like-minded countries on these positive initiatives, the Indian government is examining what it can do to support these actions.” “
The IEA said on Wednesday that its member states have agreed to release 120 million barrels of oil to cushion oil prices after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, to which the United States contributes half.

Oil futures fell sharply on Wednesday after major consumer countries said they would release oil from reserves to tighten supply, pushing crude futures to their lowest level in three weeks.
