The refiner will buy 3.2 million tonnes or about 64,000 barrels per day (BPD) from Iraq this year, up from 44,000 BPD in 2021, they said.
Iraqi state-owned marketer SOMO and HPCL did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for comment.
Iraqi is the top supplier of oil to India, and higher purchases by HPCL will further strengthen the Middle East nation’s share in Indian markets.
