India and Japan Agree on Crude Oil Stockpiling

With the aim of shielding their consumers and industries from disruptions caused by the West Asia conflict, India and Japan Agree on Crude Oil Stockpiling and strategic reserve systems. To begin with, the two nations will share long-term market insights. In addition, the partnership aims to stabilise energy prices. Moreover, both countries are keen to explore third-country energy sourcing to strengthen their energy security.
Both countries highlighted the importance of strengthening energy resilience. For instance, India’s support for energy security in South Asia and Japan’s Partnership on Wide Energy and Resources Resilience (POWERR Asia).

Why is Japan increasing its oil reserves?

At a time when the West Asia war has disrupted the global energy supplies, the question stands “Why is Japan increasing its oil reserves?” Furthermore, Japan is taking measures to counter geopolitical threats.
 
Additionally, securing energy supplies and finding alternatives of oil in case of crucial blockades at the Strait of Hormuz will be key. So, these stockpiles are crucial to stabilize the domestic fuel prices and industrial supply chains. Above all, these reserves could provide the necessary liquidity to suppress global price hikes too.
