On Tuesday, oil prices edged higher in early trade after sinking in the previous session on weaker-than-expected Chinese economic growth, as investors eyed a possible tightening of US crude supplies. Brent crude gained 11 cents to $78.61 a barrel by 0017 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude rose 15 cents to $74.30 a barrel, Reuters reported. Both contracts fell more than 1.5 per cent on Monday. 

Investors awaited industry data later on Tuesday that was expected to show US crude oil stockpiles and product inventories likely fell last week. 

India is the world’s third-largest consumer of crude oil and depends on imports to meet over 85 per cent of its requirement.
