NEW DELHI (Reuters) – The share of Canada and the United States of America in India’s January oil imports surged to a record 11% while that of the Middle East and South America declined, data obtained from sources showed.

Asia’s third-largest economy imported about 4.8 million barrels per day (bpd) oil in January, a decline of 6% from the previous month and marginally higher than a year earlier.

India’s imports from Canada and the United States almost doubled from December to 142,000 bpd and 367,000 bpd, respectively. The United States emerged as the fourth-biggest supplier to India after the United Arab Emirates.
