The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and their allies including Russia, shook markets by announcing production cuts of about 1.16 million barrels per day on Sunday. Oil is set for its third weekly advance after the surprise cut by OPEC and its allies, while shrinking US inventories added to the bullishness.

India, the third largest importer of oil, relies on OPEC and its allied countries for more than 70% of its crude oil needs.
