INDIA ELECTION: Battling high prices, oil diplomacy and upstream revival priorities for new government

The spotlight on India's oil sector has never been stronger. India's role in global oil markets is set to expand at a fast pace until the end of the decade, making it the biggest center for demand growth, according to the IEA. Refining expansion remains a key priority, but with a tilt towards petrochemicals, and the country’s upstream strategy aims to realize the hydrocarbon potential of offshore regions. While rising Russian oil flows and its impact on purchases from the Middle East is dominating the discussion on trade flows, rising oil prices is throwing up new challenges for the economy. In a wide-ranging discussion with Sambit Mohanty, Asia Energy Editor, Atul Arya, Chief Energy Strategist at SP Global Commodity Insights, and Dharmakirti Joshi, Chief India Economist at CRISIL -- a unit of SP Global – share their views on the roadmap ahead for India's oil sector as the country is set to elect a new federal government.More listening options:
