India Signs Five-Year Fuel Supply Deal with Mauritius

India and Mauritius have strengthened their energy partnership by signing a five-year agreement under which Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) will supply Mauritius with its entire import requirement of petrol, diesel, and aviation turbine fuel. The agreement reinforces India's position as a reliable energy supplier in the Indian Ocean region.

The long-term sales and purchase agreement was exchanged during Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri's official visit to Mauritius on August 20-21. IOC will meet Mauritius' complete import requirement for motor spirit, high-speed diesel, and aviation turbine fuel under the agreement.

Alongside the fuel supply agreement, India and Mauritius also signed a Government-to-Government memorandum of understanding covering broader cooperation in the oil and gas sector. Areas of cooperation include petroleum product supplies, technical training, capacity building, and biofuels.
