Answer

India exports petroleum products (refined petrol, diesel, jet fuel) to numerous countries despite being a crude oil importer. Major buyers include: Nepal and Bhutan (landlocked neighbors dependent on Indian supplies), Bangladesh (significant diesel importer), Sri Lanka, countries in East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda), Southeast Asian nations (Myanmar, Singapore serves as a hub), Middle Eastern nations (UAE, despite producing crude, imports refined products), and European countries occasionally. India's large refining capacity (exceeding domestic demand) allows export of refined products. State-run companies like Indian Oil, BPCL, and HPCL, plus private refiners like Reliance, export millions of tons annually.
