reliable statistics are not available to verify this phenomenon. Since India has not reported data on oil imports to UN COMTRADE. Based on export data reported by African countries, mainly Nigeria, and by the rest of the world, India imports approximately half of its petroleum from Africa.
However, even these data underestimate India’s oil imports from Africa.
For example, there are no data indicating that India imports oil from Sudan.

ucts, electric machinery and equipment, and consumer products, such as medicine, cosmetic products, and batteries. Tables A and A provide more detailed lists of top African imports from China and India, respectively, and their destination markets in Africa.
For both China and India, fabrics and yarn are the major exports to
Africa. West African countries such as Benin, The Gambia, Ghana, Niger,
Nigeria, and Togo, and East African countries such as Kenya and Tanzania are the major buyers of Chinese and Indian cotton fabrics. Cotton yarn from India is bought largely by South Africa and Mauritius. Both China and India export synthetic fibers to countries with relatively more developed light industries, such as Mauritius, Nigeria, and South Africa. One stark difference between China and India is the high prevalence of apparel products (garments) sold to the large African consumer markets, such as
South Africa and Nigeria.
