India, Mauritius Strengthen Energy Ties with New Oil and Gas MoU
India and Mauritius have strengthened their energy ties by signing a government-to-government Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on oil and gas cooperation.
The MoU was signed on August 20, 2026, marking a significant milestone in the long-standing energy relationship between the two countries.
Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), India's largest refiner, has also signed a five-year agreement with the State Trading Corporation of Mauritius to supply petrol, diesel, and jet fuel to the island nation.
This deal comes at a time when global energy markets are under pressure due to conflict in West Asia and disruptions linked to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
