India has expanded its sources of both liquefied natural gas (LNG) and crude oil to 15 and 41 countries respectively, aiming to mitigate the risk of supply disruptions due to geopolitical tensions and maritime transit challenges, according to the Indian government. Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas Suresh Gopi disclosed this information in a written reply to the Rajya Sabha.
