November 14, 2026: Guyana has expressed its readiness to become a major long-term crude oil supplier to India. Speaking on Friday, Guyana’s High Commissioner to India, Dharamkumar Seeraj, announced that the South American nation could meet up to 20% of India’s daily crude oil requirements in the future.

This strategic offer comes amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainty in West Asia. Because India relies heavily on imported crude oil to fuel its rapidly growing economy, diversifying supply routes remains a top national priority. Guyana aims to anchor a long-term energy partnership with New Delhi by pairing its massive oil discoveries with India’s world-class refining infrastructure.

Guyana Offers One Million Barrels Per Day to India

Guyana possesses proven crude oil reserves of approximately 12 billion barrels, ranking among the highest-quality sweet crude reserves globally. According to High Commissioner Seeraj, India currently consumes roughly five million barrels of crude oil per day.

Under the proposed framework, Guyana could supply nearly one million barrels per day to Indian refineries over time. This partnership gives India a reliable, non-traditional energy source in the Western Hemisphere while securing a massive, stable buyer for Guyana’s booming petroleum output.
