Sumit Ritolia, lead energy analyst at business analytics platform Kpler, tells Al Jazeera that India is looking to buy more oil from the United States amid the blockage in the Strait of Hormuz.
He said the US “has the capacity to increase oil and gas exports to India, but it’s not enough to replace Middle East supplies”.
Ritolia added that India’s Russian oil exports have also increased in volume.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is currently in India to make deals on energy and defence.
