The Prime Minister, Narendra Modi meeting the King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on 29 October 2019.

India is upgrading its energy relationship with Saudi Arabia to a strategic relationship as well as signing a broader Strategic Partnership Council Agreement during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Riyadh beginning 29 Oct 2019.

The upgraded relationship includes Saudi commitment to invest US$100 billion in India including a tank-farm for storing reserve crude oil, a refinery on the west coast and investment in retail sector in petroleum.

Saudi Arabia supplies about 18% of India’s crude oil imports a year.

Economic Relations Secretary T S Tirumurti told reporters, “We have discussed maritime and energy security cooperation and to transform energy relationship into a strategic partnership and move ahead from the existing buyer-seller relations.”

Saudi Arabia is to invest in 2.5 million tonne oil storage facility at Padur in Karnataka, in addition to the 5 million tonne capacity on the west coast.

A refinery on India’s west coast is under study and would be taken forward with Saudi investment, said Tirumurti.

Saudi Aramco, along with UAE’s ADNOC, is in the development of US$44 billion ‘West Coast Refinery & Petrochemicals Project Limited’ in Raigad, Maharashtra.

With these commitments, Saudi investments in India is growing.

Saudi Petrochemical Giant SABIC has a R&D Centre in Bangalore with an investment of over US$100 million since November 2013.

Aramco has signed a MoU with the Mumbai-based GumPro for a drilling fluids facility since 2018.

Aramco is also considering acquisition of over 20% share, estimated between US$10-$15 billion, in RIL Oil and Chemical business at an enterprise value of US$75 billion.

Elsewhere in India, Riyadh-headquartered Al-Fanar is currently executing a 300 MW power project in Kutcch. fiinews.com
