🇹🇷🇮🇳 Turkey Turns to India for Record Diesel Imports

Turkey imported a record volume of diesel from India in August 2026, as supplies from its traditional Russian source declined and disruptions affected fuel routes through the Middle East, according to India Today.

The surge marks a significant increase in Turkey’s purchases of Indian diesel and highlights India’s growing role as an alternative fuel supplier for Ankara.

The development comes despite political and diplomatic differences between India and Turkey. Ankara remains a close strategic partner of Pakistan and strongly backed Islamabad during the 2025 India-Pakistan tensions.
