The Indian Ministry of External Affairs said India is examining requests for diesel supply from neighbouring countries, including Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and the Maldives.

According to the Press Trust of India, Indian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India is a major exporter of refined petroleum products, particularly to countries in its neighbourhood. 

He noted that Bangladesh has requested a diesel supply, and the matter is currently under examination.

Jaiswal added that while diesel exports to Bangladesh have largely continued since 2017, decisions will be taken after considering India’s refining capacity, domestic requirements and fuel availability. 

Similar requests from Sri Lanka and the Maldives are also being reviewed, keeping India’s energy needs in mind, he added.
