Petroleum minister Hardeep Puri on Monday said that India is open to importing crude oil from all possible sources to meets its demand.

Addressing a press conference a day ahead of the India Energy Week 2025, the minister recalled how India diversified its crude imports from 27 countries to 40 countries.

Argentina is the new addition, he told reporters.

The imports from those suppliers though vary based on price advantage or proximity advantage.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
