Currently, there is a world-wide oil glut.

The future for our economy looks good!! "... Prime Minister Gandhi had announced that India would buy 500,000 tons of Algerian oil, the Algerian news agency said on June 11. Speaking at a news conference after two rounds of talks with President Chadli Benjedid in Algiers, Gandhi had agreed to redress their trade imbalance, currently in India's favor." <Source: INDIA ABROAD, June 21, 1985> How much of India's oil is being refined in India? Is any of it being ex- ported to another country for refinement and then returned to India? Refer- ing to Sivan Mahadevan's message above, to which country is India exporting oil? From the news I have heard (and read) I thought India was still get- ting oil from Iran. Has anyone heard anything on this? Sunil Trivedi sunil@ut-ngp.ARPA \ / ut-sally netword \ / ut-ngp | sunil

The future for our economy looks good!! > There is nothing new about India exporting oil. But there is more to it than that. India continues to be a *NET* importer of oil. The oil being exported is mostly from the latest finds off BOMBAY HIGH and other recent discoveries. It is exported because the refineries in India are not suitable for refining the oil found in the recent past. India imports oil from the middle east for its own refineries. -- Deepak S.
