## Resource

India's crude imports are climbing, not just in volume, but in complexity. As the country widens its pool of suppliers, it is also exposing itself to a more fragmented pricing landscape. But here is the challenge -- in a world where geopolitical conflicts and supply shocks can send prices soaring overnight, how do you protect the energy sector and the economy from extreme volatility? In this bonus episode of Platts Oil Markets Podcast by S&P Global Energy, Asia Energy Editor Sambit Mohanty is joined by Gouri Shankar, vice president for product strategy at the National Stock Exchange, Pulkit Agarwal, head of India Content, and John Morley, global head of crude oil pricing, to discuss the need for sophisticated benchmarks in managing risk, and what the latest NSE crude oil contract based on a physical price benchmark -- Platts Dated Brent -- can offer to Indian market participants.
