7 Jan 2020 So U.S. dependence on Middle East oil has fallen, but production of Middle Eastern oil has risen by about 5 million BPD in the past decade.

India retained its spot as the third largest consumer of oil in the world in 2017 with consumption of 4.69 mbpd of oil in 2017, compared to 4.56 mbpd in 2016. India was the fourth-largest Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) importer in 2017 after Japan, South Korea and China. Oil: In 2005 India imported 76.5% of the 130 million metric tons of oil it consumed. Recent trends don’t suggest more self-sufficiency; it imported 85% of its 223 MMT of consumed oil in 2013. Energy dependence in general refers to either mankind's general dependence on primary or secondary energy for energy consumption ( fuel, transport, automation, etc.). In a narrower sense, it may describe the dependence of one country on energy resources from another country. Speaking at the Urja Sangam conference in March 2015, the Prime Minister had said that India needs to bring down its oil import dependence from 77 percent in 2013-14 to 67 percent by 2022. Further, the dependence can be cut to half by 2030, he had said.

India wastes more than 50% of the oil that it imports due to bad roads and traffic system. Instead of reducing the number of years that a vehicle can be run it should spend more money on improving roads. Fastest results can be had by improving the traffic system. India is the 3 rd largest energy and oil consumer in the world after China and the US. India is the 4 th largest importer of liquefied natural gas (LNG). India consumed 204.92 MMT petroleum products and 58.64 BCM natural gas. The import dependency of crude oil and LNG during 2018 was 82.59% and 45.89% respectively. India’s dependence on imported oil was on the rise in the past due to a rapid increase in economic growth (growth has a lot of energy requirements) and fall in global crude oil prices.(I’m talking about 2015-2016). There was also the case of domestic oil production decreasing.

India is one of the world’s largest oil consumers, accounting for around 4 percent of global consumption. Only the U.S. and China outrank India in this regard, making it a key player in the oil market. While India’s oil consumption has seen remarkable growth in the past few years, Currently, India is the world’s fourth-biggest oil consumer, and energy demand is growing at a 3% clip.

India's dependence on crude oil imports on rise as consumption increases Domestic crude oil production fell for the fourth straight year in 2015-16, even as oil consumption rocketed 11%, pushing up India’s import dependence. Net oil import dependency rose from 43% in 1990 to an estimated 71% in 2012.
