Mauritius and India have signed a government-to-government (G2G) agreement under which Mauritius will import petroleum products from India, strengthening bilateral energy cooperation. The deal was confirmed by the Mauritian Finance Minister, who said it aims to ensure a reliable and cost-effective supply of petroleum to the island nation.
The agreement covers the supply of refined petroleum products and includes provisions for streamlined logistics, pricing arrangements, and timely delivery to meet Mauritius’ energy needs. Officials noted that the pact will reduce Mauritius’ dependence on volatile global markets and provide a stable source of fuel for its domestic consumption.
Indian authorities welcomed the deal as a step toward deepening strategic and economic ties with Mauritius, emphasizing India’s role as a trusted energy partner in the region. The arrangement is expected to support Mauritius’ energy security while fostering closer trade and diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Industry analysts said the G2G framework could serve as a model for other nations seeking reliable energy partnerships with India, enhancing regional cooperation and strengthening India’s footprint in the Indian Ocean energy market.
