Saudi oil price cut to offer India room for better deals
Sunday, 7 January 2024 Saudi Aramco on Sunday cut OSP (official selling price) of flagship Arab Light crude for Asia to their lowest in 27 months - a move that can work well for India if it prompts oil to slide further to boost prospects of cheaper fuel for consumers and keep the energy import bill from bloating.
