The country is one of the 14 members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), which decided to cut output at its November 30 meeting, sending oil prices soaring to above $50 per barrel, a gain of almost 12 percent.

India is a net loser of the OPEC decision to cut crude oil output by 1.2 million barrels a day. India's provisional oil import bill for 2015-2016 was Rs. 4,18,931 crore ($64.4 billion) for importing 202.5 million metric tonnes (mmt) of crude, down from Rs. 6,87,416 crore ($112.74 billion) paid to import 189.43 mmt. In other words, the country saved Rs 2,68,485 crore due to weak crude oil prices.
