Once seen as a close friend, azerbaijan has betrayed Turkey. azerbaijan struck a covert agreement with israel on oil supply after turkey severed all connections with israel following the Gaza attack. Notably, in october 2024, azerbaijan ceased selling oil to Israel. However, the oil is actually still being provided. Through third-party traders, not directly.
 
Israel and turkey had severed all trade ties.  It wouldn't even send oil out of its port.
 
Middle east Eye reported that six tankers, including Kimolos and Seaviger, demonstrated ingenuity by turning off the tracking system.

They 'on paper' departed for nations like egypt after turning off the tracking technology.  However, the identical ships are spotted in israel a few days later. Satellite photos have been used to record all of this.
 
Israel publicly supported azerbaijan during their Kargil-style conflict with armenia in 2023. It provided it with both diplomatic and military support. azerbaijan is now returning the favor by providing it with oil. Regardless of what others may think, they both stated unequivocally that their relationship would last.

Why is it important for India?
India and israel have a well-known friendship.  It may be advantageous for india now that azerbaijan is collaborating with Israel.  This indicates that three nations are forming a new triangle that may help one another with security, oil, and politics.
